can U advise a potential coper to invest His alawee in the food business or do I need to search for additional capital?

Hi! I served in Kano State,Wudil L.G. to be precised.With the 7,500 allowance, I delved into the Ram fattening and sales business. Other corps members were amazed and later some invested. All is based on your passion and survival instinct of your. Anything is possible with God.

Please elaborate bro. it sounds interesting.

I have always wanted to go into food business but toyed with the idea. Am thinking Benin to Lagos or Ondo to Lagos. Let me put my skills to work.

Follows thread! Stumbled upon some ideas here!

Mary Kay once said "There are three kinds of people in this world:

Those who MAKE things happen,
Those who WATCH things happen and
Those who WONDER what happened"

Op you are certainly of the first kind. Thanks for taking the hard way to discover something. One day if not already, you will be employing people.

Humility is the first step to greatness.

lol! Let me add, some wud read and act on it. Some would read and pass onto the next thread looking for another money making method. Some would read and want to see PICTURE(In this case,I will put it as PROOF).

Please elaborate bro. it sounds interesting.

Wudil International Market,Just beside Kano University of Technológy, is one of the biggest market for the sale of Agrucultural produce.Wudil is about 20 minutes drive form Gidanmaj(Petrol station) after Zoo Road junction.This is a weekly market just like every others in Kano.It is a Friday market and people from neighbouring country.
I also used some other markets in Katsina State whenever the supply is short and in cases of pricing.

Hello sir.
You don't have to speak hausa before transacting with them. Trust me, the hausas are more sincere than any other... They are always ready to help. Don't be surprise, most of them speaks Yoruba and english. Where is Your location sir? It takes 3-5 days to sell it all or if you chose to sell them right away it arrives the market. The choice is yours.
Thank you.

Rich4god:
nice one... so many business opportunity exist in Nigeria. sadly, most Nigerian youths don't have the eyed to see it. And then, foreigners will come, set up the biz and pay us peanuts.

Most poor youths are lazy, feel too big about themselves and lack discipline..

These are the major reasons for their staying poor.

We just read about adenuga once being a taxi driver. Yet that was as a graduate or undergraduate. I have met and willing to help youths even without WAEC to give them bus or tricycle to drive, they are not ready..

Rich4god:
but you know, sometimes lack of capital is a factor.

Bros, Abeg drop that point. I no wan vex..

Are you in need of onions? Do you want to go into the business of buying onions from the farm in the north and selling in the markets in the south? You have no idea of how to go about the business or you are considering the stress of going to the north to buy the onions? If your answer is YES, then I'm here to help you out.

First of all, let me start by introducing myself. My name is Ibijoke. I live in the north (Sokoto) with my hubby and beautiful daughter. My hubby works in the north and I'm just a full house wife. Though before relocating to the north to join my hubby, I was working. Relocating to the north took me a lot of courage as I was left with no other choice if I wanted to save my marriage. Getting to the north, I searched for jobs, but couldn't get one. I tried other businesses that I knew would have been successful if I was to be in the south but here in the north, it wasn't moving fine as expected. I got tired of everything. I was offered a teaching job with the monthly salary of N10,000. Hell NO! I just couldn't work for N10,000. Hubby could afford N10,000 if I wanted. Instead of sitting at home, I started following hubby to his sales trip. As the regional sales manager (Zamfara, Kebbi, Sokoto and Konni Niger) he was bound to travel. So whenever he is going on a journey to these states and their local government, my daughter and I do follow him. In the course of our journey to these states and local governments, I discovered that these states are blessed with vast farm lands and foods. During one of my trip to Yauri in Kebbi state, I saw lots of Brown Beans. A lot of people came far away to buy the beans in bags. Also Aleiro in Kebbi state, I saw lots of onions farm. The people in Aleiro are known for onions. I learnt its the biggest onion market\ farm in west africa. Buyers comes all the way from cotonou, Ghana, togo and other parts of Nigeria to buy. I saw dry pepper, fresh tomatoe and pepper in Zamfara. In Illela Sokoto state, a lot of cattles (Ram, Goat, Cow, Donkey, Camel) all very cheap.

I was so happy. I said to myself, now I have a job. Last year November 2014, I did all the necessary research. Finally, I made up my mind to go into food stuff business. I discussed with my husband. He gave his financial support. January 2015, I was good to go.

The journey begins here.

I chose the onions line of business. I plan to start with the onions, then later proceed with other food stuff. My hubby and I went to Aleiro farm. We met the farmers. We made our orders. As a matter of fact, we selected and bagged the onions ourselves with the help of the farmers and my hubby kid brother. After the packing, we loaded them into the trailer going to lagos. The truth is, I had no idea where to put my onions in lagos since I had no warehouse. I bought aero flight ticket from sokoto to lagos so as to meet the trailer of onions in lagos. Though my hubby kid brother joined the trailer to lagos. When I arrived lagos, I met some market women, I showed them the picture of the onions. They made their orders. I also met some other women and they were interested in buying at my own price. I also visited the mile 12 market for the first time before the arrival of the trailer. I discussed with some mallams and told them of my onions on the way.

Finally the trailer got to lagos and his last bus stop is mile 12 market. I met my brother in-law. It was a journey of 3 days instead of 2 because the trailer had some fault on the way. My onions was offloade and dropped in care of an Alhaji. I never knew the Alhaji was the chairman of the onions market in mile 12 not until after the transaction. The operation in mile 12 was so easy and smooth. No mago mago. Its an open market. I got my money. No cheating. I paid for the space, the offloading (Alabaru) and the transportation after the sales in mile 12.

The business was worth doing. I enjoyed everybit of it and I intend to continue it as my permanent business. I will like to say a big thank you to Tunji. I met him here on naira land and he was of a big help too.

I'm willing to answer all your questions.
Thank you.

Please share your profit and cost analysis. All expenses incurred, final sale price and profit. Thank you.

You are welcome sir.
1. The minimum capital to start this business is N10,000. For instance, I have a friend who is starting with 3 bags. After her NYSC, she has been jobless. I pitied her jobless state so I decided to help her out. I advised her to go into the business but she has no capital. I told her to start with what she can afford even if its a bag. I believe you understand what I mean...

2. As regard to partnering, I haven't thought of that anyway. I will have to discuss first with my hubby. Call\ whatsapp 08139448193

pls may i whatsapp you.regarding beans and cattle

xynerise:
@Op. How do you deal with the perishable nature of the onions?

Onions has many varieties.

Madam should be able to source the right variety that lasts long. Storage is by spreading on bare floor.

But as a marketer, you are selling off in 3 days..

Am interested bt pls how much can I get a bag for or start or a basket.

Great business idea ! See more profitable ones at www.BusinessParrot..com and start making money as soon as possible !!!
