wait kabla kunihubiria tuende polepole.
So tuseme anatengeneza hio 50,000 kwa siku, hio ni net profit ama pesa zitakazorudi kwa biashara, kuna expenses ku restock viazi,mafuta viungo, gas, rent etc.
Ukishatoa hayo, usisahau lazima huyo mtu aishi, so alipokaa ana matumizi yake ya nyumba kama bills alafu labda karo ya watoto, au matumizi mengine how much is being saved kwa hio 50,000?
Nataka tuwe practical hapa because hata Nairobi bodaboda operators hutengeneza hata 6-10k ksh kwa siku, but that doesn’t mean he can suddenly afford a 1million shillings house because that is not net and there are expenses. Therefore hio affordable housing can make sense to him kwa sababu akilipa 3800 kwa rent to own itakuwa very reasonable.

Uwe unaelewa umeambiwa hiyo net profit per plate na hiyo ni minimum,
Gunia la viazi maximum dar 75000 na ni kg 100 , kg moja inatoka 2 plates ila Mimi nimekuwekea 150 for sack ila kwa kawaida ilitakiwa iende 240 .
Price per plate ya chips kavu ni 2000tsh
Minimum plates 150*2000= 240,000
20 litres ya mafuta inakaanga gunia 7 au kg 700 price ya ni 100,000 kwahiyo per kg utatumia 95tsh
Umeme 3 units per hour na unaweza to minimum plate 20 per hour so per plate umeme 52 tsh
Branding ,tax rent and the like weka 700
Kumbuka hizo major costs kwenye chips .
Vitu kama tax rate hawa hulipa 250,000 per year service levy 50,000 per year .
Na most of them rent huwa ni 50,000 per month.
Nakuongezea plus kachumbari per plate hutakiwi zidisha 100 tsh .
Ila bado cost zinapunguzwa mfano badala umeme kuna majiko ya kutumia pumba ambayo ni less costly.
Na most of them hawanunui all those items in cash bali mkopo and the like.

Ambayo bado itakuwa covered kwenye hiyo miscellaneous niliyokuwekea hapo ya 700 tsh.
Mind you hapo ni chips kavu ,ila kwenye chips mayai a kg inatoa plates Tano na bado bei inakuwa 3000 tsh🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nyinyi endeleeni kugoma tu

Chips vendor bongo ni tajiri na zinawatoa watu wengi , nyinyi si mnakariri brands , Tanzania tunajenga brands.

Thank you, this guy is assuming gross earnings to be net profit.Hio hesabu ametupea sio practical at all Hata kama hakuenda shule hio sio excuse juu yeye ni adult, kwani hafanyi biashara ama kazi?

Kusema a guy working in small businesses after all business and personal expenses is saving an equivalent of ksh 62,500 na ni mtu wa kawaida in Tanzania is just insane, that’s a rich person! who wouldn’t wish to save 62,500 per month after paying for everything 🤣🤣🤣

Tulizana ndo maana mnaambiwa bado sana kuijua bongo Tanzania

Especially on informal employment. You know a teacher earning that amount and lives in a village could build a grand bungalow through a government loan. But someone selling chips in a town or city - man. These people are jokers. 🤣 🤣

Buda most government employees bado wanajishughulisha na hizi business ndogo ndogo hapo umepewa mfano tu wa chips kama mfano , vipi nikikupeleka kwenye kitimoto and the like au vipi nikikupeleka kwa waalimu wa primary walioko vijijini ambao wanamilikia au wanalima mpaka 30 acres za cashewnut au wale wa njombe wenye mashamba makubwa ya mbao.
Hivi huwa hamjiulizi kwani tanzanians wanapenda kujenga nyumba zao wenyewe ? Kwa sababu wanapata hela sana
Na sio Kila mtu lazima afanye biashara au awe muuza chips ila fursa na watu wako serious na business.
Yaan mnababaaikabna gunia moja wakati watu wanaauza mpaka 10 sacks per days za chips au 1500 plates per day na wako barabaraani tu🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mwingine ameniambia that they have uncountable buildings under construction in Dar that are above 20 floors, but now showing the picture of at least 3 of those uncountable hawezi😂

Building ya 20 floors hawawezi hesabu yet nilipost jana apartment ya 32 floors akarespond na apartment yenye hata haifiki 8 floors. Yani 8 floors wanazijua lakini 20 floors is where they draw the line.😂😂😂

But here, you were not talking of a government employee who frys chips as a sidehustle. You were talking about someone whose main hustle is frying chips. Unadhani utatubeba ufala kama hao mabongolala wenzako?🤣🤣🤣
You're dumber than I thought if you think a roadside vendor can sell 10 sacks of chips a day. You clearly have the brains of a Koala bear.

There's a lot of profitable things to do in Tanzania. Sio lazima kila mtu awe muuza chips

What we are telling you is that hamjui how to calculate profit and Loss in a business.

Wewe huoni Konkodile ananiambia a roadside vendor anauza 10 sacks of potatoes worth of chips per day? These guys have zero mathematics knowledge. Does he even know many people it takes just to chop 10 sacks of potatoes into chips? These people have never done business. 🤣 🤣

He's not doing guess work, he clearly has never run a business. That is how people who have never run businesses reason and that's how anyone thinks before they actually start running a business. Ukishaingia ndio utajua. Nikijaribu kumpa tu mifano.
1. You could buy a sack of potatoes and it all spoils before you turn it into chips.
2. Not everyday will you sell everything, potatoes are perishable. Everytime you don't sell everything translates into a loss.
3. He completely ignored expenses such as transportation, licenses, water etc from his calculation.
4. Weather - you can't fry and sell chips on a rainy day in an open air scenario
5. Competition
6. Price fluctuation
7. Personal issues.
The list is just too long and even still, if by some miracle you manage to regularly make the 62k, it's that really an amount that can build you a mansion? Watu waache mchezo buana. 62k ukitumia vizuri saana you can save 20k in a month for a family man - that is you living a modest lifestyle. How is 20k a month going to build you a mansion?

Ananikumbusha nikiwa campus nikipiga hesabu za kuanzisha retail shop. My calculation brought me to at least 3k per day. Ville nilianzisha hiyo biz I realized I was struggling to even pay rent. It's called naivety.

😂😂😂 huu umeendika hapa ni upuuzi uliosoma kwenye makaratasi ambao ni tofauti na uhalisia wa ground, tena kwa mazingira ya Tz ndio usingetia hata neno.. biashara kubwa ya chakula Bongo ni chipsi mayai, kuku (hii ni Tanzania nzima ukitaka kupiga pesa nyingi fungua banda la chipsi) . Bila shaka ndio biashara ambayo hailazi mzigo ndaani.

Shida yenu nyie mafala mnajaribu kulinganisha mazingira yenu ya ufanyaji biashara na ya kwetu..

Kuhusu gharama za uendesheji unafaa ujue kwamba viazi vinazalishwa kwa wingi Tz na kuna masoko ya mazao karibu kila mtaa, achana na masoko kuna magenge ya jumla karibu kila kona kwa mfano apa Dar, usafirishaji upi sasa unaozungumzia.? 😂😂😂

Binafsi mimi nasafirisha Mbuzi kutoka Kondoa dodoma kwa 3000 - 4000 from Kondoa to Pugu Dar es Salaam. 😂 mbuzi niliemnunua maximum 80k - 150k Tzs.

Vipi viazi vinavyouzwa mtaa wa pili kutoka eneo la biashara la muuza chipsi itamgharimu sh ngapi.? Tz nowadays biashara karibu zote in Dar for instance ni free delivery. 😂😂😂.

Yooo haujui chochote kuhusu bongo na biashara zinavyooendeshwa kaa kimya, au nitafute nikupe tips how you can make an easy money in Tz and take them to Kunyarenda kama unao mtaji wa kutosha.

Government employee kama mwalimu bado Wana side hustle kibao na sababu wanakopesheka ni ngumu kuwakuta kwenye business za chips ila utawakuta kwenye kilimo , maduka na kadhalika , ni wachache sana ambao wamebweteka .
Hiyo ya chips umepewa kama example kuwa hata mtu wa chips anauwezo na wanajenga majumban yenye dhamani kubwa kuliko kwenda kukaa kwenye nyumba za kujibanana kama zenu.
Kitu inachotakiwa ujue most business unaziona hasa ndogondogo kama hardware na kadhalika na employees

Wewe huna biashara, last time we had this discussion you borrowed a picture from someone to prove a point. By the way hiyo challenge was yours, hadi wa Leo I'm still waiting for your business license.

For me I earn salary and I also do business. I have several sources of income unlike lazybone like you who doesn't have anything.

Amesema 1kg inatoa sahani mbili, meaning one sac is 200 plates. A roadside vendor can't sell 200 plates a day.
