Hi Friends, Today I am going to share with you a simple and very profitable business idea that is

Tomato sauce or Ketchup making business idea. Tomato sauce is a healthy and delicious product

which is used as dipping food substances. Nowadays people are using this type of food products

while eating snack items, and the new generation loves to eat snacks along with these dips.

In this article, Now I am telling, how to start this manufacturing plant and how to make these 

products, what is the process, what is the machinery and how to market these products.

Market Potential:

Tomato sauce is an FMCG product and it has a huge market demand because of changed food 

habits of our country people. It is used in restaurants, bakery products like rolls, cutlets, samosas,

puffs, etc. and also used in street food centers and pizza centers. And household customers also

products make you a perfect brand company in the market.

Tomato products that are available in the market:

• Tomato Sauce
• Tomato Ketchup
• Tomato Paste
• Tomato Puree

You can make all these products with the same machinery with some modifications. So, you have to

start the tomato processing unit and make all these products with your own brand company and 

market all the products and build your customer network with your quality and taste and flavors.

The First Step, Raw Materials:

Tomatoes are the main raw material for making tomato sauce or ketchup. So, You have to purchase

tomatoes in bulk from the farmers who are cultivating this crop. Otherwise, you have to purchase

wholesale vegetable dealers from the market yard. Tomatoes are a very common crop in our country.

Everywhere and every place of our country tomatoes are available in any season at cheaper rates.

So it is easy to start this plant in our country in any city or town.

Other Ingredients used for making these products are given below:

• Garlic
• Onions
• Permitted food Colors
• Sweeteners
• Flavors
• Sodium Benzoate

You have to choose quality tomatoes and riped tomatoes and premium ingredients for making your

brand products with higher quality and taste. Then only you will give superior quality products to 

your customers.

capacity. Initially, you have to start with the lower investment so you have to choose a semi-

automatic machine with a higher capacity. Better you go for a bank loan to start this project and

before going to start this unit, you must have the knowledge about the making process and machinery

and marketing methods.

The Third Step, Making Process:

to suggest a website that is www. how2make.in, from this you have to purchase the formulations.

If you want to know about the processing then you should buy the book that is A complete book

on Tomato Cultivation and Processing. It is available on the www.Amazon.com website.

In this making process, First of all, tomatoes are cleaned by the machine and separated the damaged

tomatoes. After that, Tomatoes are boiled at a certain temperature in steam-jacketed kettles. And

Then Seeds and wastage removed from the pulp and fine paste is prepared by the machine

automatically. This paste is sent into processing vessel and mixed with other ingredients and again

cooked in the cooking kettle after that sauce or ketchup prepared and pumped into the storage tanks.

Then it is ready to pack. This process is followed by so many steps and you should maintain very

hygiene circumstances. You should follow a traditional process and highest quality standard under

supervision from qualified food technologists and quality control teams. So, You should hire well

experienced or trained workers for making these products. This total unit set up in a well equipped

godown which is comfortable for adequate water and workers convenient.

The fourth step, Packaging, and Branding:

You can pack this sauce or ketchup in pouches or bottles and jars. For bulk supplies, you should

pack in 5Ltr. jars. You can pack into bottles like 200ml,500ml, 1Ltr., etc. You can also pack into

pouches like small sachets or capped sachets. For that, you need to purchase a pouch packing

machine. All the bottles are labeled with your own brand name and sachets also print with your

own brand.

You have to take some registrations for your company, they are GST registration, Trademark

registration, FSSAI and HACCP registration and also ISO registration and so many.

Better you have to build your company website and promote your site on Social media like

Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, etc. And traditional brand promotion is like business cards and 

brochures of your company are distributed in all the stores.

Marketing:

You should appoint Marketing persons to market all the stores like Kirans stores(Wholesale & Retail)

Supermarkets, Bakeries, Hotels, Restaurants, Pizza centers, Fast food centers, Food courts, Etc.

You have to build a strong distribution network in your city as well as all over the state.

For online sales, You have to register your company on Amazon.com, Flipkart.com, Bigbasket.com

Indiamart.com and other online grocery websites. 

Definitely, you should get good business by giving good quality and tasty products to the customers.
