This business buys North-East pantry foods from producer groups and small makers in the region, such as fermented bamboo shoot, axone (fermented soybean), black rice, king chilli pickle and smoked chilli paste. It checks, packs and labels them under one brand for Delhi buyers.
Humayunpur, an old village inside Safdarjung Enclave, is known across Delhi for its North-East restaurants, cafés and grocery shops, and many students and workers from the region live nearby. Clean packs, clear dates and steady stock can win both people missing home food and Delhi food lovers who want to cook it at home.
You need an FSSAI food licence, registration as a packer under the weights and measures rules, a small clean packing room, and lab tests for each product. Fermented foods vary from batch to batch and have strong smells, so pack them in sealed jars and pouches. The hard part is supply: goods travel a long way, can spoil or get delayed, and small makers may not send the same quality every time. Keep a second maker for each item. Some packed North-East food brands already sell online, so your edge is freshness and being close to buyers.
Sell through Humayunpur's grocery shops and cafés, North-East community and student groups, food fairs, and your own online shop with delivery across Delhi.
