Start a fruit juice or sobolo factory

Pineapple, oranges, mango, hibiscus→Bottled juice, sobolo and drinks

Pineapple, oranges and mango spoil on the farm every season, and bottled juice and sobolo sell in every shop. A small factory washes, presses, mixes and fills. Peeling, labelling and cold storage come as you grow.

Bigger, smaller or a different product? Describe it and we plan the line.

The line, step by step

Power

Fillers, mixers and labellers run on mains electricity, some on three-phase. A cold room needs steady power, so plan for solar or a generator. Tell us what you have.

Grow machine by machine

Each machine can be its own order, with its own deposit and instalments. Start with the step that earns, and order the next one from what it brings in.

Starting as a group? Buy it together: each member pays their share from their own phone.

Before you buy

  1. Bottled drinks need FDA Ghana registration, a clean room for production and a date on every bottle. Start the FDA steps early.
  2. Fresh juice spoils in days without cold or heat treatment. Decide how yours will keep before you choose machines.
  3. Fruit is cheapest in season. Plan for the months when your fruit is scarce, or make sobolo then.

Are you ready for the machines?

Tick what you already have in place. What is left shows what to sort out before you order.

  • Agree supply with farmers, aggregators or collectors before you buy machines. A plant waiting for raw material earns nothing.

  • Talk to traders, shops, schools and exporters, and take them samples. Selling is harder than making.

  • Machines need a solid floor, a roof, drainage, and room for raw stock and finished goods.

  • Ask ECG what your site has or can get. We quote machines with a diesel engine or the motor that matches your power.

  • Food plants wash a lot. A storage tank or borehole keeps you working when the supply stops.

  • Start with the machine that earns first. With Landed you pay a deposit, then the rest in any amounts while it ships, with no interest.

  • Register the business with the Office of the Registrar of Companies and get your district assembly’s business permit. Packed food, drinks and cosmetics need FDA Ghana registration.

Buying a machine with Landed

  • One all-in price to Accra before you pay anything: the machine, shipping, duty and clearing, in writing.
  • A deposit, then the rest your way while it ships: any amount from GH₵ 50, no fixed schedule, no interest, no fee.
  • The price is locked once your deposit is paid. If the exchange rate, freight or duty change, we absorb it.
  • Straight from the factory, not a middleman, with receipt, packing and arrival photos on your tracker.
  • Your deposit back in full if the seller cannot supply your machine and you do not want an alternative.
  • Covered on the way. Lost or damaged before handover is always on us. Add Landed Protection, and a wrong, not-as-described or dead-on-arrival machine is replaced or refunded in full.
  • A free consultation first on the voltage, spare parts and servicing your machine needs.

Every case is on our refunds page. How instalments work: pay your way.
