Start a Wholesale Pecan Business

Owning a pecan farm can be very rewarding especially if you plan to start a wholesale pecan business! If you still don’t know what a pecan is, well, this is just a nut. However, unlike other nuts in the market, it can be hard to crack the pecan and you will need a stone for the job. The pecan fruits are harvested from a tree that grows 66-130 feet. At times, the trees can grow taller. The fruits have touch husks and are usually dark brown in color. You will enjoy a rich supply of unsaturated fats and protein by eating these fruits raw. Sweets can also be made from pecan.

If you have your own farm, you will not find it hard to sell pecan on a wholesale level. With several trees producing many pecan fruits, you’re sure to make a lot of money. What if you don’t own a pecan farm? Don’t get discouraged because you can still put up a wholesale pecan business. You can use the internet to find potential farm owners or supplier of pecan fruits. To ensure success in this kind of business, you need to devise a business plan. This will serve as your guide in starting and running the business,

License Application, Products to be Sold and Other Matters

Start to apply for a business license since this will take time to get approved. Visit the Secretary of State and apply for the license. You will need to find a suitable location for the wholesale business which is easily accessible by customers. Arrange the store properly to create an inviting and relaxing atmosphere for you customers. You also need to get some shelves and storage for the pecans that you will sell, as well as furniture and fixtures. Aside from the fruits, you can also make money by selling pecan wood.

You have to clear out what products you will be offering. A pecan business may mean that you’re selling nuts, sweets, and the wood products. When promoting the business, you need to inform the customers of the products that you will be selling in wholesale. You can send business cards or flyers to store owners who want to sell pecan candies or fruits. You can supply these local stores with pecan that they can sell for retail. Offer competitive prices so that you can easily attract customers. Whether you own a pecan farm or you get the supplies from a reputed supplier, you can succeed in this type of business as long as you’re hard working and patient.
