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.

i like to take palm oil up north from south,is there a specific market to sell palm oil in kano?specially if there is any1 in the heart of kano.

Nice one madam weldon

Thanks @ op. This was a business we wanted to purse about four years ago before my partner developed proverbial cold feet. I will take my time to do proper research before venturing out again. Once again, people should begin to do something positive with their lives, enough of this"entitlement mentality" .

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

Take this rubbish to another thread

Such ideas are needed tonyelumelufoundation competition.

If you are in lagos, go to iddo terminal and ask to speak with the station manager. They load from there to Kano.

Thanks

Unique3:
I tried reaching you on whatsapp, sent you an e-mail earlier, but got no response. I'm interested, please can we chat? Thanks

Hello sir/ma. I'm so so sorry. So many people to attend to. I will definitely respond to your mail n chat. Thank you.

Hello sir. I had no battery on my phone. Like I said, you can start with a bag of onions. If you are not the extravagant type, u will make it fast to 10 bags or more starting with a bag. All you need to do is to discuss with the market women that sells tomatoe\onions. Tell them you want to supply them onions or just tell them u have a bag of onions for sell. Before doing that dear, do your market survey. Find out the cost of a bag of onions in the major big markets in your location.
As for the profit margin, you have N2000 naira or more on a bag depending on the market or location.
Don't worry sir, all will work out fine for you.
Thank you.

Thanks a lot. I'd also like to know, how much is a bag of onions where you are and how much does it cost to transport it here? If I'm buying a bag for instance, how much will I need to transport it here so I can still make a profit?

Abumadea:
Yeah, its true. Its really a nice business. I served in Niger state in a village called Kura, not far from a town called Salka which is not too far from Yauri in kebbi state. Salka is known for its beans business and a very large central market. People come from all over Nigeria and west Africa to buy beans and many other things in Salka. I remember buying a sack of Onions for just 500 naira. If I had sold them, I would av made more than 2000 naira as profit but I shared everything when I got home. Its tough bringing them to lagos but its very profitable. The village I served is also known for growing groundnut and its very profitable as well cos they extract grounnut oil from them.

bros, hw much u buy that fish?

Hi

Hi. Sorry for the late response.My principle used to deal in that biz from kwara to Kano but I lost his contact. What he said was that it is a lucrative job .

For those that need information on the train services in Lagos, below is an attached pic of what I and catered4 got from iddo terminal yesterday.

Kano-Lagos - - - > Monday & Saturday

Lagos-kano - - - > Wednesday & Friday

Oh God bless you guys.am getting there. Once again thank you.


But is the last column. With Lagos to kano 6900
For cargo area

Catered4:



Exactly. Thanks for your contibution sir? Are you still into the ram fattening and sales business sir?

Hi. Thanks for your response.I had a sojourn in Europe but címe back recently. I am thinking of starting the agricbiz as soon as am sure of which one to delved into.Presently doing my final project for my Mtech. I wont mind getting more info into this business of yours. Thanks for the eye openen.May God continue to bless you.

The only thing hindering me from venturing into this line is the fear of what's happening over there in the north.

100Cents:


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

that dude no understand....

Good morning all.

Like i said in my earlier post everyone will certainly join this business. Why is it difficult for people to sit and think of an idea that will be unique and different. There are many ideas lurking around just sit and think dry fish business, crayfish business these are items that abound you don't have to travel up north to venture into it.

I pray to be a manufacturer and not a copywriter.

Here is the breakdown sir.
A bag is N9500 for mixed onions and N 11,000 for big onions
The loading from the farm to the park (Alabaru) is N100 per bag
The sack and raffia is N200
Transportation - Trailer is N1200, J5 is N1500 and 18 seater is more.
Now a bag of onions in the market goes for N14,000, N15,000 or more depending on the state, location and market or even companies buying from you (supply).
So sir do your calculation yourself. Thank you sir.

Thanks a lot for this info. However, it seems one would need at least N13,000 per bag therefore N10,000 won't be enough to start as you initially mentioned. I believe at least N150,000 would suffice for a start for one to earn sufficient profit.

Ill work out a business plan and get back to you. Thank you once again
