The problem with trying to transport traditional foods to other countries is that there needs to be a sufficient customer base in that country to warrant it.

Then you'll need to worry about production costs, different food safety laws in different countries, transportion costs, storage, distribution etc.

This is not something that a person without significant experience in the industry can achieve.

So unless you've got a prominent manufacturing/distribution business already, you are likely in way over your head.

Hello guys. I wanna have idea for Bitcoin can payment by traditional food. On my country. Like pempek, lempah kedondong, and freezing traditional food to outside country. We give best serve for this. This project for them know Bitcoin more.

Thank you
if I'm not mistaken.. Pempek and Lempah kedondong is a traditional food from Indonesia, precisely the province of South Sumatra..  Have you started selling these traditional foods offline??  if you haven't started at all then it will be difficult for you to do it!!  I think it's better if you start selling first, if there are a lot of buyers, you can start accepting payments via Bitcoin and accept investments via Bitcoin too.

I think @OP offers a service to freeze Indonesian food or export it overseas. I do not think that exporting food as a final product would be valuable, but it would be necessary to export the ingredients and then prepare the food within those countries.
The role of Bitcoin in this process will only be to facilitate transactions that may exist with paper money or traditional payment methods. So Bitcoin will not be considered a revolutionary addition to such a project.
I think as well, I don't think you can really throw blockchain in random things (like the food industry for example), and then be able to make a banging product, adding blockchains to simple freezing and transporting traditional things only overcomplicates a fairly simple process.

Looks like the OP's company is - https://nur1labs.net/. And no offense, the site is really badly made, with unprofessional english like "he wanna make a VGA card", which looks like a 3d render of a VGA only card... Why? HDMI and displayport are the biggest ones right now, and bulky VGA cables are rarely used for modern monitors.

Not really sure what you're trying to convey. From what I can make out, you want to start a business that sells our country's traditional food as frozen food internationally and expect bitcoin for the same. Not a bad idea actually, but this has to be executed on a bigger scale and you'd need a lots of money to set any of it up.

It's so hard to read OP's post but I understood what's the point.
At first please can you tell us from which country you are? I guess according to information available in your profile, you are from Indonesia. You can add bitcoin payments anytime to your service and that's as easy as ABC but can't exactly say how beneficial it will be for your business because if there is no demand, than it's like to be or not to be.
If aim of adding bitcoin payments is to make it more popular among people in your country, then I suggest you to offer 10-20% or any sale to those clients who will pay in bitcoin.

I don't think it will be necessary as there are already restaurants in one country that do serve and delivers traditional food of different countries in a faster and less  preservatives way. If those restaurants have a bitcoin address in their website your project idea will be somehow the same. Maybe it will only be applicable for those who really want to taste the authentic recipe that will order or if you'll partner with restaurants in different countries then it can be a good development.

You do not present your case very well because i do not understand you either.

You did not mention your country and the types of traditional foods you wish to be exporting in order for us to know if the business will be viable or not.

You can create a website for your business idea and use services like coinpayment to accept bitcoin payment.

I think you are using a translator to post which is why I cant make out much from your message. Maybe you could get a better reply if you posted this is your local boards?

What I can understand is that you are accepting bitcoin as payment. Well if you are having a local population or a niche demand in othe countries who are paying in crypto then it would not be difficult in setting up payment. But the real problem is the taxation that you have to pay for the capital gains, good and services etc.

I see many ICO with same idea with this one. You can check blockfood project which provide decentralized food ordering and delivery. You might ask them for partnership. I have no news about them ATM but I heard there project during 2017 ICO craze.

I have no idea what you're getting at here. You want to create a catering business that sells traditional food for Bitcoin?

I mean, that's not exactly that revolutionary an idea - it's just a food suppliers that accepts Bitcoin as a method of payment. That doesn't really make it a Bitcoin 'project' in my eyes, there are plenty of food suppliers that sell traditional food and could easily hook up their payment systems to BitPay or something similar.
