There are three things that humans can’t live without, one of them is food, it is the fuel that carry us about every day, its need is so important for growth, daily living and for staying health. The function of the Kitchen is to make food for the family, but has it ever occur to you that your kitchen could be a starting point for your business. There are several things that we could do in our kitchen that could start small till we expand into a factory of some sort. This expansion will be as a result of increase in demand of the products or services we rendered from the kitchen. Before you cultivate these thought of making millions from your kitchen, it must be a niche that you are passionate about. It is general said that if you don’t need the heat then don’t enter the kitchen. Secondly you can’t play in the niche that you are not knowledge about, so knowledge is key in this niche if that is what you want to do. One can also do this as a side hustle and then dive into it as your demand and income increases. In this write up, I will be exploring some common tips added with innovation and the internet for marketing purpose that will give an entrepreneur an adage that could follow from the kitchen. Food in a Jar bottle The first in our line of products will be food or farm produces that could be seal in a jar there are several food items that fit into these category. The lists in this line of product are many depending on what you have in mind. Some fried things like homemade chin-chin, homemade groundnut which could also be spiced with honey or spice coated (being innovative), Cashew nuts, fried coconut and a whole lot. They difference between what you make and the shop is that yours must be higher in value. Process food can also be package like process tomatoes in a jar, this is comes in handy when it is spiced up either with pepper or ginger , the idea is to have a products different from what is obtain in the market. One can consider having tomatoes paste comes in with Pepper, ginger and possible garlic something unique. Baked food Most times we tell friends to bake birthday cakes for us and we have forgotten that this cake was made in the kitchen and that leisure could be turn into a serious business. Apart from cakes, there are other baked food like muffins, biscuit, meat pies and a whole lot of food in the category. Kitchen Restaurant Do you know that if you live in a busy city that you can start you restaurant from the comfort of your kitchen, this will be handy when you leverage it with internet and advert. The model here might be focusing on soup like traditional African soup, such as Afang, Melon, Edikan ikong , ofe owerri, efo, and many more. The idea here is to gives services to people who do don’t have the time to cook because of their official engagement. This trend is fast becoming an in thing in cities that has an upward urban trend. Homemade juice and fruity Nigeria is a country that is blessed with a lot of fruits and in every season there is one fruits or the other in every season for our consumption. We could package this fruit in plastic containers or designer wrappers for offices, banks and even we can be supplied to eatery and restaurants. Process food (French fries) Has it occur to you that you can process Irish potatoes into chips from the comfort of your kitchen. Although there are two types of French fires, both can be produces from the comfort of your kitchen. What is needed in this venture is just one machine that will enhances the whole operation and you could be turning up a lot from your kitchen till when demand is more than you can handle and expansion will be necessary which will not be a problem.

Nigeria is a very rich country. It is one of the most endowed nations on earth. It is rather unfortunate that when we talk of agriculture in Nigeria a lot of people limit it to farming it far larger than that. My concentration today will be looking how an entrepreneur can invest and process some of the abundant agriculture farm produces that we have and a whole lot of this farm produces are wasting away. Let me also correct the misconception that you need a lot of millions to start processing, that is not true. This is where innovation comes into play. As earlier mention, there are several farm produces that can be process into finished product that will create value for the final consumer. I will run down through a few not a full list but ones that people see every day but don't think it is a viable opportunity to engage. 1. Processing yam into yam flour ( brown Amala and white poundo 2. I Came up with a cheaper and an innovative way to make tomato paste with different flavour or spice With Ginger With Garlic With pepper With all three 3. Corn flour which could also be added with hungry rice. 4. Tea packaging 5. Potatoes Chips and French fries 6. Concentrate from fruits 7. Spice packaging 8. Meat packaging 9. Peanut butter 10. Making Noodles from Plantain My concentration on this write up today will be on turning yam into yam flour(browish) as Amala or into white yam flour as (pounded flour). It is interesting to know that our beloved country Nigeria is the highest producer of yam in the world with annual production of 44million tons of yam. Unfortunately Ghana is the highest exporter of yam in the world (another write up for another day) There are several states that farm yam in Nigeria but these three states stand out because of the large quantities of yam that they cultivate. The states are Benue, Taraba and Niger state. A visit to the yam market in any of this three state will amaze you on the level of result this locals farmers get without have modern farming machines. Processing of Yam into flour 1. Yam Selection Once you arrive in the market, you have the option to buy yam in bundles of 100 or 50 at a relatively cheap price. It is highly imperative that you know the type of yam that will give you maxmum value in term of flour content. Some big tubers of yam can give up to 2kg of flour. 2. Storage It is important to store the yam tubers for a little while so that the yam would lose moisture content. The reason is that with less moisture the better the quality of flour that is obtain when production is finished. 3. Washing: When one is about to start production, after selecting the tuber of yam, it is imperative that the tuber must be wash so that sand, roots and extraneous material will be removed. 4. Peeling and Slicing. The yam tubers are peeled and the sliced according to the desired shapes. The peels are also useful in the production as well. 5. Parboiling; The sliced yam are boiled to a certain degree and depending on the moisture content so that it doesn't get too soft and then become a problem during drying 6. Drying: The parboiled yam slices must be dried to at least 8 to 6 percent of moisture with a dryer, the temperature must be set according. 7. Milling The dried yam slices will milled into fine flour. 8. Sieving The flour will be sieve so that the flour is devoid of loop of yam that wasn't milled 9. Packaging The final powder flour is packaged into food grade nylon and then into carton for onward delivered to supermarket and stores or even exported Sometimes NAFDAC requires that Vitamin C should be added to the flour, so if this is the case it would be necessary that a mixer would be needed. Sometimes for Amala production you can buy the already process brown flour in some of this market. What you need to do is just to package. I could give a detailed business plan for this with financial investment. Mail me at wealthagric@gmail.com Or text me at 08160233111
