2. Description of the confectionery industry and company
Confectionery - the concept is quite broad and multicomponent. According to Russian GOST, confectionery products are divided into the following groups: chocolate, cocoa, flour confectionery, and sugar confectionery. The main feature of the modern market for confectionery products is the transition from the “privilege” of confectionery products to their mass consumption. More and more often, pastries become fast food rather than a rare expensive treat or gift. Due to this factor and the fact that confectionery products have short shelf life and are highly dependent on freshness, the confectionery business has been and remains promising for small businesses. Until recently, the confectionery market has seen steady growth. According to Alto-Group, since 2011, production volumes have increased in all major segments (see Figure 1).
Figure 1. Confectionery production volumes in Russia 2011-2014 (tons)

According to the results of 2015, experts noted a decrease in production volumes. In general, according to the Center for the Confectionery Market, the fall in the market amounted to about 1%. In particular, according to the calculations of INFOLine specialists, made on the basis of Rosstat data, the production of the largest group in the structure of the production of confectionery products - chocolate, cocoa and sugar confectionery - showed a decrease of 2.5% compared to last year. The reasons for this situation were the weakening of the national currency, a decrease in household incomes and a decrease in its purchasing power, and as a result, a decrease in the consumption of sweets. At the same time, the import of all confectionery products into the country was halved over the year, while consumer prices rose by an average of 24% (data from the Center for Information and Information Technologies). Chocolate (38%) and caramel (33-35%) rose especially strongly. Due to rising prices for cocoa raw materials, manufacturers began to prefer cheaper recipes, increasing the production of products with fillings and chocolate icing, refusing directly from the chocolate itself. Compared to chocolate, the crisis-resistant direction turned out to be cheaper flour confectionery products.

The aim of this confectionery project is to organize its own production and sale of confectionery in a city with a population of more than 500 thousand people and profit. A pastry shop with a cafe-shop for 20 visitors will be placed in a room with a total area of 100 square meters. The concept of the project will include the production of confectionery products according to their own recipes and their sale to consumers in finished form and on order. Since the cafe-shop will be located directly during production, the consumer will always have the right to count on the purchase of fresh produce. The assortment of the confectionery will consist of flour cakes and pastries with a total assortment of more than 110 types. In connection with the most unfavorable market conditions, emphasis will be placed on inexpensive products and original recipes.
The target audience of the confectionery will be the residents of the city, mainly living and working in its central part. The target audience can be described as citizens with an average income level. Most of Central Asia is made up of people aged 24-45, that is, the most solvent part of the population. Due to the fact that the confectionery will have small production capacities and turnovers, it is planned to carry out activities within the framework of individual entrepreneurs with a simplified taxation system (“income minus expenses”). The staff of the confectionery will be 6 people. The total investment cost for the opening of the confectionery will be 1 903 000 rubles. Of these, investments in working capital - 300, 000 rubles. Details of the project investment costs are given in Table. 2 business plans.
