    Im thinking about starting a food business for the retail market.
    I have a background in food and running my own business...but this is new to me...suplying shops.
    Its going to be a high quality product ..mid range price...hand made and nicely but simply packaged.
    was going to start with maybe 6 products.
    Soup
    Pesto
    Dressings x 3
    Pasta sauce

    So i can make great products all day long...no problem.
    I can get good design for packaging by an artist friend
    I have a kitchen etc.

    I plan on doing farmers markets but my main goal is shops.
    Whats the best root to market for this type of frsh product...anyone any experience of it?

    Hi Boots.

    You say you have worked in the food industry so I'll spare you the usual food safety/hygiene req, HACCP,Pre-req programs, traceability..etc..etc

    Have you identified your products USP? The market is pretty much a jungle..so the market is looking for something different and will add value.
    Try going on Bord Bias website and download all the free market research papers. Its a great resource and can help you understand the mind of buyers and customers.

    I have experience dealing with the buyers in some of the major multiples, so if you can refine exactly what you need to know I can try and help you out.
