Where can I do this business?

You can do this business almost anywhere. However, you have to note that you have to know what food items to buy and supply or store and sell later. These food items have seasons, and there are years they are very profitable. This is why it is important you learn the process.

For instance, in Nigeria, you buy surplus food items from places like beans (Adamawa State), honey (Taraba and Enugu States), palm oil (Ondo, Enugu, Edo and Imo States), cashew (Enugu, Oyo, Benue and Kogi States), beniseed (Niger, Plateau and Nasarrawa States) and many other commodities in their surplus seasons and in different locations. You either store the commodities to sell when the prices are high or supply to where they are scarce and make your money immediately without waiting.

How does food distribution, supply and storage business work fully?

This is a very important question in satisfying your desire to have how do I do food distribution, supply and storage business question. Read below and get how it works:

Food distributors and suppliers buy foodstuff from a place where it is in surplus and send to where it is scarce. They make a lot of money through this and the business in Nigeria or anywhere else in the world is not saturated. These people make almost 10% of their capital in every trip, and so, imagine if they make three trips in a week or three supplies.

This business is good, but it is technical and somewhat risky, and this is the reason we encourage you to learn about the processes and procedures before getting into it. If you have to pay to learn, please do, learn from the experts until you can certify you are an expert at it as well.

Another fact about this business is that it is capital intensive. The larger your capital, the higher your chances of making meaningful progress. You will need a mini truck or bus at least even if it is fairly used or money to loan some people’s own, you would need access to village markets to buy the foodstuff, you would also need a guide to direct market. The business has even been made easier that in some states, you pay to join their organization of food distributors and as such you are automatically connected to ready markets and buyers.

Thus, you would need good capital and other requirements to start this.

What are the Requirements for this Business

• Capital of at least 3 million naira ($4500), and more. There’s no maximum amount for this business as it’s capital intensive.
• Additional money set aside for the learning and registration to join their union and organization (in case of locations where such exists). (500,000 naira ($950) at least, for this).
• Your will and drive.
• Your patience to learn and deal with the stress.
• Then a feasibility study of your chosen routes and hazards associated with the roads.

In this business, starting with 3.5 million naira, you can make another 3 million naira in sales and profits in a year. This business has 100% or more yearly money-making increase.

How do I store food items for sale? How does storage business work?

This is another goldmine in agriculture sector like food distribution. The good thing about it is that it is not a long term investment. You simply purchase foodstuff when they are in season and excess in the location that have them in their cheapest prices, store them and sell when they are scarce. The profit in this business depends on the scarcity of products that season. You can make between 40% – 150% gain after a storage season depending on the scarcity of the products that season.

2021 was a great year for people into storage. For people who stored beans, they made more than 200% gain. You buy a bag of beans around 30K naira and sell it at 100K naira. Assuming you used like 3 million naira to buy these that means your gain is 7 million naira. Imagine that!

Even products such as palm oil move as well. In March – May, palm oil was selling for 9,000 naira a gallon and by August it had climbed to 18,000 naira. That’s 100% gain. So someone who invested 1.5 million in it would get 3 million naira in return in a space of not up to 6 months.

This is the reason why I called it a goldmine. However, this business is equally risky and if some products are not properly stored, they can spoil and even if you are not an expert at it, you might invest in products that would make you waste your time and energy as prices won’t pump or add. It is not all year that the business favors people, so this is the reason we would always advocate you learn any of these businesses we explored here before going into them.
