The friend has been invited to Africa for three years now. Many countries in Africa are experiencing rapid development, with infrastructure and housing projects everywhere. The Zimbabwe National Investment Development Agency (ZIDA) offers various preferential policies to attract foreign investment, including land, tax, and tariff reductions. Local building materials market prices for standard bricks (0.12-0.2 USD per piece) are equivalent to about 80-90 RMB per piece. Raw materials: clay, coal. Labor costs and other expenses are relatively low, with a cost of approximately 0.02-0.03 USD per piece. If industrial waste (such as coal gangue and fly ash) is used, the government provides various subsidies.
After market research on building materials, it was found that large local projects require high-quality bricks (0.15-0.2 USD per block), while many self-built houses and local builders have a significant demand for building materials at slightly lower prices (0.12-0.15 USD per block), with profit margins around eight to nine cents. A small brick factory with an investment of $100,000 can produce about 60,000 standard bricks daily, generating a gross profit of approximately $4,800 per day. After normal production, the investment can be recouped in two to three months.
Specific budget:
The site is far away from the city and the land price is low. The annual rent is about (20 US dollars per mu). Thirty mu will be paid as a deposit first.
The brick machine equipment is selected from Wanda JKB45 energy-saving brick machine, and the auxiliary machines are equipped with box feeder XGD4000x1000 and XGD3000x
800 sets of high and fine crushing roller machine GS800x600 type, one double shaft mixer SJ4000 type, one set of automatic cutting strip and billet machine, ten meters of conveyor per frame need four frames, as well as starting cabinet, air compressor, vacuum pump, brick machine mold and so on, a total of about 60,000 US dollars.

The factory will use abandoned warehouses and simple scaffolding in the early stage, with an estimated cost of $10,000.
The investment is estimated to be around $10,000.
Overall total: it is perfectly feasible to build a brick factory with a daily output of 60,000 bricks for $100,000. After normal production, the investment can be recovered in about three months. The prospect is broad.
