This is still in exploratory stage but Id feel more comfortable if I dealt with people here.
I'm planning on selling banana chips, powder, or even bananas and I'm looking for buyers or middlemen residing in countries who regularly consume or use these. I find it easier to deal with LPers (if any) since it's a lot better than dealing with random foreigners in B2b networks like alibaba and the like. As long as there is any sort of profit to be had for both parties I'm all up for it.
Facts:
- the philippines has a shitload of bananas and it's byproducts
- I can personally go to you in your location so talking to potential buyers will not be a problem for us. If it would help jumpstart things to fruition.
- I've had some business experience in importing goods, none yet in export but Im really dedicated in learning if there is money to be made.
- I live in a mostly agricultural region, the economy is run by agri based business, most particularly bananas
- The risk will mostly be on my end since i will be the one purchasing here. So as long as you don't get greedy with pricing and are resourceful enough to do local research, this definitely has potential.
- Banana chips, powder , flour is a very versatile commodity used in a very wide variety of ways e.g. ketchup, soap etc. Table bananas like cavendish obv are great to eat.
- Afaik developed asian countries and even arab countries import philippine bananas, with regards to banana flour/powder Im not too sure but I know some who have dealt in korea, malaysia
Like I said these are all plans for now, but I have some money to get this into motion eventually, for now I am still doing some research on suppliers/growers so this probably wont start till next year if ever. For now Im just looking if anyone within the respectable LPer circle, but not necessarily ballers.
We will start very small, but this is what I love doing and this can grow a decent rate as long as both of us are dedicated enough and obv dont get greedy, that being said I prefer dealing with someone within a community I know since it's damn tough doing it with a random guy (did that before and its just super stressful)
I dunno if doing this on the side is possible, but if you have a ton of free time and hang out at LP, you're probably smart enough to be reliable imo. Nothing to lose really.
I'd like to know the best books to get introduced to the whole thing. I have very minimal experience and knowledge and I'd like to start by reading a lot of good basic info. I know there are a lot of LPers who are in the industry or know how to do trading so I'd really appreciate a point in the right direction for a newb like me.
Gonna give ecigs another try, I was able to quit last time for 6 straight months. Also working out with my kids to get back in shape again, things looking really good after a long while I hope my recent run goot rubs off on everyone here who needs it.
I'm looking to buy an apple or android tablet but I cant decide what to get, I dont play games no more and I plan to use this almost exclusively just for internet, and basic computing needs
Poll: Best tablet to get?

women really like it when you seem slightly uninterested...lol I can't believe this shit still works! being too drunk runs the risk that you might overdo it though, but no, I am very aware still...one time? jejejejje
My favorite new Remix artists, RAC (Remix artists collective)
they mostly do indie type or hipster music and somehow make the songs even better.
If you felt better after listening. You're welcome
