It is easy to explain this - many consumers today are trying to purchase natural products, and canned ones remain for a "rainy day" when it is necessary to cook something in a hurry (for example, in the country). And even despite this, the stewed meat production business promises good development prospects for the entrepreneur. If you draw up a detailed business project and buy equipment for the production of stewed meat and other canned meat, it will not be difficult to launch the workshop.
