Starting a business with freeze-dried fruit – A solution from SUNSAY drying machines.

In the era of smart agriculture and the demand for green and clean consumption, ” starting a business with a freeze-dried fruit model ” is no longer a risky choice but is becoming an attractive and sustainable investment trend. Understanding market needs and possessing advanced processing technology – such as the SUNSAY freeze-drying machine – is a promising starting point for building a high-quality Vietnamese dried fruit brand, conquering both domestic and international markets.

Freeze-drying – A breakthrough in preserving and enhancing agricultural products.

Vietnam’s fresh fruit is abundant, diverse, and of high quality, but it faces the problem of “bumper harvests leading to low prices” and post-harvest losses. This reality demands a new approach – not only for preservation but also for enhancing commercial value. And freeze-drying technology emerges as a scientific and effective solution.

Unlike traditional heat drying methods, which easily alter the color, flavor, and nutrients of the product, freeze-drying operates at temperatures between 25°C and 50°C, combined with a heat pump dehumidification system. As a result, fruits are dried naturally, retaining their vibrant color, natural aroma, and essential vitamins such as C, A, and E – key factors that differentiate and add value to the product.

SUNSAY freeze dryers – the “technological heart” for startup drying models.

Developed by SUNSAY – a pioneer in the industrial drying machine industry in Vietnam – the SUNSAY freeze dryer is not just a simple technical device, but a system of solutions that optimizes the processing, preservation, and enhancement of the value of Vietnamese agricultural products.

The most outstanding feature of SUNSAY is its superior quality and sophisticated design, suitable for everything from small businesses to large-scale enterprises. SUNSAY freeze dryers come in a variety of models from 4 to 40 trays, with capacities from 8kg to 200kg per batch, allowing you to easily choose the right model for your production expansion.

Made from high-grade 304 stainless steel, ensuring durability for over 20 years, the modern PLC-HMI control system allows for monitoring and storage of drying formulas. Importantly, its ability to save 50-70% on electricity compared to traditional thermal dryers optimizes operating costs – a crucial factor for startups with limited capital.

Freeze-dried products – A new consumer trend, a wide-open market.

More than just an optimized technology, freeze-dried fruit is also a product with increasing demand in recent years. Modern consumers love healthy snacks that are free of artificial sweeteners and additives, and rich in vitamins and antioxidants.

A package of freeze-dried mangoes retains the mild sourness and aroma of fresh mangoes, or dried jackfruit slices remain golden, slightly crispy, and not dry or hard like those dried using heat – this is what retailers are willing to pay a high price for to obtain high-quality products. Especially in export markets such as Japan, the EU, and the US, freeze-dried products from Vietnam are clearly competitive thanks to their quality and reasonable price.

Starting a business with little capital – The key is choosing the right technology.

One thing that makes many young people, especially in rural areas, hesitant to start a business is the large investment required. But with the small-capacity SUNSAY freeze dryer, you can absolutely start a business with a budget of 50-100 million VND – a cost that is not too large compared to the long-term growth potential.

For example, the SUNSAY 9-tray food heat pump dryer  (SS-4509HP) can dry 20-25kg of fruit per batch, with 2-3 batches per day, yielding approximately 60-75kg of finished dried fruit daily. With a retail price of 300,000-500,000 VND/kg for dried fruit, after deducting costs for raw materials, packaging, electricity, labor, etc., the net profit per month can reach tens of millions of VND – a considerable amount for a small-scale household business.

A major advantage is that the machine operates fully automatically, is easy to use, requires no highly skilled technical personnel, and is very suitable for home-based or family businesses with readily available local ingredients.

Some things to keep in mind when starting a business with a freeze-dried fruit model.

It starts simply, but to go far, you need a strategy:

  • Choose local specialty ingredients: Hoa Loc mangoes, Laba bananas, Nghe jackfruit… which are both easily accessible and have high brand value.
  • Focus on quality: Customers are willing to pay more for freeze-dried products if they perceive superior flavor and quality.
  • Invest in packaging and branding: Attractive packaging, modern design, and clear information about clean production processes and freeze-drying technology will build strong trust with consumers.
  • Combining multi-channel sales: Online via social media and e-commerce platforms, and offline at markets, fairs, and agricultural product stores… helps expand the customer base.
  • Early export orientation: From the outset, if you establish production standards that align with international standards, you will have the opportunity to enter the export market after 1–2 years.
