What they do is that there is a central area for this kind of business and they lobby the power authority to giving them 22 hours of electricity. People line up to buy ice blocks in my country.
Selling of ice block is a very lucrative business though it is a seasonal kind of business for the people who love cold things during dry and heat season but once it is raining and harmattan is there people run away from cold products.
True, especially due to the fact that there is no stable electricity, people usually make use of ice block for various occasions like parties and weddings to store drinks.
Is there a part of Nigeria that doesn't have serious electricity challenge? And it is common in most countries. But the other factor is that Europe and America is just too cold for them to need ice blocks.
The demand of ice blocks increase during certain times. This may also include festivals and some kind of traditional holiday as you may need ice blocks in order to make beverages for your guests. This is why this business is so popular in here.
Totally agree with you on the ice block business in Africa – it's a cool (literally!) way to make some bucks. Plus, with the scorching temperatures, everyone's on the hunt for ways to keep things chilly.Just a heads up, if you're diving into this icy venture, you might wanna consider getting some custom ice bags. They're a game-changer when it comes to packaging and distributing those frozen goodies. Remember, presentation matters too. Stay frosty, entrepreneur pals!
