Fruit Micro-Business

What is a fruit micro business?

A fruit micro business is a small business run by students. Students are responsible for the ordering, maketing and distribution of the fruit. The programme encourages the consumption of fruit during the school day and leads to an increase in the average daily consumtion of fruit. 

Why start a micro-business?

Most children and young people do not eat enough fruit. Setting up a fruit micro-business encourages fruit and vegetable consumption and reinforces the concept of healthy eating. It also helps to foster an entrpeneurial spirit, and provides invaluable business experience for young people. Micro-businesses can help educate students about the realities of setting up and running a business.
