Malaysian Instant Noodle progress so far - Thinking Back About Starting a Malaysian Instant Noodle Crate a while ago and if it is possible?
A while ago, I had this idea of building a Malaysian instant noodle/snack crate but due to what is happening to the economy with the gas prices going up and the wars...
I even did rough calculations before:
packaging costs
shipping fees
supplier pricing
profit margins
At one point I genuinely thought:
“Wait… this could actually become something that everyone from different country can have a taste of Malaysia authenticity of instant noodles flavours that isnt being sold in everywhere else.."
But after stepping back and thinking about it again recently, I’m questioning whether this kind of business is still realistic in today’s economy
Things that make me doubt it:
-International shipping costs getting crazier
-food export regulations
-competition from Japanese/Korean snack boxes
-customer acquisition costs
-risk of unsold inventory
-whether people would buy more than once.
I don't know whether anyone would be interested on this idea as it did before and almost all the prices for everything skyrocketed and it would be too expensive.
Please let me know about this and what yall think..
