From couple of months I was looking for a food product at the grocery stores which looks missing since 6 months. Checked on the internet and did not find a single company selling it.

As MJ says, "entrepreneurship is about solving problems"....

I can solve this problem and make it a fastlane.

This product is imported from various countries, therefore i mailed few exporters and I am waiting for their reply.
The only thing that concerns me is the commandment of control, if the exporters stops selling me the product my business will die.



Do you have any suggestions for me? (especially the entrepreneurs who import products from other countries)
Some tips, precautions or your views on such ideas?
I would love to hear from you guys.
Thank you.

You don't need to get 100% of whatever you want from one exporter and you don't need to have just one product.

So whilst you can't control everything, you can control enough.

Moving on, do people want what you are thinking of in your locality as you have written no one sells it even online?

Thank you for your reply.

Yes a lot of people want it.
Also, there are few more products to start with but I’m planning to start with one.
You are right that i can control enough.

I’m starting with one product because it would require huge investment and i can run this on small scale first.
