With the improvement of living standards and health awareness, juice consumption continues to grow and the juice market is booming. Many people want to work in the juice production business. To start a juice factory, you need not only money,Juice Production Line, machines, employees, but also market, management and regulatory knowledge. Here, I summarize some tips to help you set up a juice factory to avoid common problems.
Setting the target market
There are many types of juice: fresh juice, concentrated juice, NFC juice, cold pressed juice and fruit drinks. The taste of the customer has been changing. People are more and more concerned about health, more and more natural, and less and less artificial. This is a clear trend. More and more people are receiving pure juice and high-end juice. New categories such as energy drinks, organic beverages and smoothies are also good opportunities.
Determine your business scope
You can run the entire juice business, including orchard planting, fruit pretreatment, juice extraction, concentration and sterilization, juice blending and filling, distribution and sales. But most juice industry practitioners only work in some industries. Many juice factory owners buy fruit, process it into concentrated juice, and sell it to juice drink manufacturers. Juice drink manufacturers are mainly engaged in juice blending, packaging and branding.

Apply for a business certificate
You need to contact your local government business office to find out what kind of certificate you need, perhaps an employer identification number, a tax permit, or a license to sell certain products. In some areas, the government requires food manufacturers to obtain some health permits, such as food processing licenses, food manager certificates, and food business licenses.
Learn about local laws about juices or drinks. For example, the US government stipulates that raw juice can be sold to customers through retail or shipping, but not wholesale to third parties that are to be resold. If you want to wholesale, you need to use pasteurization or HPP to process the juice. The Japanese government requires companies to sell and produce juice at the same location. In Australia and China, the government has no restrictions on raw juice. Also, make sure your hygienic conditions and safety measures comply with local regulations.
Looking for raw material suppliers
To run a juice business, you need a stable supply of fruits, bottles, ingredients, etc. If you do not have an orchard, you will need to contact your local farmers market or fruit supplier. Some fruit suppliers only supply certain types of fruits, such as oranges, and other suppliers can supply a variety of fruits. You should compare quality and price, as well as transportation costs.
