Realistic Profit Margins

Bulk 25kg: buy at Rp 80,000/kg, sell at Rp 95,000/kg — around 18% margin

Repack 500g: buy at Rp 40,000/pouch, sell at Rp 65,000/pouch — around 62% margin

Repack 250g: buy at Rp 22,000/pouch, sell at Rp 40,000/pouch — around 82% margin

The smaller the repack size, the higher the percentage margin — but it also requires more packaging and marketing effort.
