These banana chips are available on all leading e-commerce and quick-commerce platforms along with offline platforms like 24×7, The New Shop, etc.

 

Why Banana Chips Business?

According to Manas, the main reason to start this banana chips business is that this market is mostly unorganized and dominated by local shops only. There is not any single big brand selling banana chips exclusively. 

Also, banana chips are being sold in a single plain salted flavor but Beyond Snacks has launched various 6 different flavors like Peri Peri, Salt & Black Pepper, etc.
