Ice block production

Ice blocks

I recently got to read this online article on ice block production.  I read this from smallstarter.com---a website for small business ideas, success tips and inspiration for African entrepreneurs.  We may not be in the Dark Continent, another name for Africa, but the hot weather sure feels like we are.  The recent days have brought very hot weather to NZ even at night.  Of course when we speak of ice blocks in this country it refers to the cold, sweet, hardened ice that children love so much.

Well in this very hot weather, even adults like me wouldn't mind having an ice block from time to time just to cool off.  The picture on your left is actually an example of small blocks of ice in my freezer.  I have a small ice maker built-in to my refrigerator.  But the ice block production they're talking about in this article that I've read is of the more mass, commercially produced type.  These are huge blocks of ice that could be used in the fishing and meat industries, as well as for home use too.  Go ahead, take a read, and see where this might lead you to.  This seems like a viable business venture here in NZ too.
