Sweet Opportunity for Fruit Salad Business

Indonesia has a multitude of types of nutritious fruit, some of which are even difficult to find abroad. Unfortunately, the average level of fruit consumption by Indonesian people is still relatively low, namely 88.5 grams per day for one person.

WHO ( World Health Organization ) recommends consuming 150 grams of fruit per day for each person.

One of the causes of the low level of fruit consumption among Indonesians is their reluctance to eat fruit directly without processing it.

Apart from that, some people also prefer instant snacks rather than fresh fruit as a snack.
