There are many faces of doing business, from my experience in egg distribution:-
1. You create a business and automatic income generation commences.
2. You make friends across all ethnic and religious lines, its a plus.
3. You know more places in the nation where you may not ordinarily know.
4. You increase your interpersonal skills, especially sales know-how and packaging.
5. You will be exposed to more possibilities and success stories.
6. Lastly, you become a resource personality.

Talking about my little experience in egg distribution, it has done all these and many more yet to be articulated in simple sentences.

firefunmi:

My Question is this..if you are given 1million For this business,will you Invest it in Egg Distribution or in settling up a Poultry farm?

........My Question is this..if you are given 1million For this business,will you Invest it in Egg Distribution or in settling up a Poultry farm?

I will venture into egg distribution only.
Why?
1. Working in my area of strength - Marketing
2. Limited risk
3. Higher turnover
4. Live in the city
5. Lesser working hours
6. One million is inadequate to run a Poultry farm while it will a fair amount when into egg distribution.
7. With one million i can make a technical investment with an existing farm that will give unlimited supply of fresh eggs
8. With one million i can brand my eggs
9. With one million, i can have a functional EGG HUB

I think the above reasons may make sense a little.

Hey Blackie,
Good job you are doing!
Do you know anything about egg distributorship in Enugu?
I have family there and will like an aunt that's very hardworking to venture into this.
I just need a right info so I can provide the resources!
Thanks

resend it pls am yet to receive it, Thanks.

I do not know what goes on in Enugu thus i may not give an accurate information.

But one thing is constant, every major city in Nigeria share similar traits in every facet of life, business inclusive.
Enugu is a big city, there are lots school children, households, confectionery industries et al
If these group of Nigerians live in Enugu, then eggs must sell.

The only thing you have to look at is the distribution network and system in the town and tweek it to your advantage.
Retailers will always want it delivered to them in their domain, having a central distribution point may be of great help.

They should ask questions and do lots of MARKETING to succeed.

I have a question:-

Have you meet any agropreneur on this site, made a order, paid for the order without seeing it and they actually delivered as agreed?

Thanks blackie

Many online posters are FAKE!
Be careful when you want to start any transaction with online professionals.

This weekend, someone i got his contact online who informed me that he has a farm turned funny.
He gave an address without any structure on it. Tactically, he asked me to book for what i wanted which i did only for him to furnish me his individual account number to make deposit.

Look before you leap.

Waooo
Have you noticed that we have more Internet based farmer than tangible farm owners on Nairaland?

Recently i found out that many farm owners do not even use ICT, why?

Whoever or a group that will have direct access to farm products and is real on this forum - is made for life!

As a starter, register with any farm or distributor within reach and use the few crates allocated to you to learn the ropes.
At the moment, the trend in egg distribution is at the ''farm owners/major distributors'' favour - this does not favour new entrants.
However in less than 5 weeks now, the tide will change in favour of ''buyers'' like you and i. The new coming trend is all you need to consolidate before next scarcity period.

Please explain more on this new coming trend. Thanks for the updates on this thread.

Regarding our upcoming seminar, many new entrants and existing distributors who have contacted me for more information, these are the few angles we may be looking into based on my experience:-

= Client sourcing [marketing]
= Book keeping
= Idea of egg sorting
= Vision and target setting income wise
= Various investment packages in egg distribution
= Managing your clients
= Faster route to expansion and profitability
= The Online edge
= Egg distribution Vs Owning a farm
= Where and how to get the eggs year round
= Your neighbourhood is all you need

Nice one.

Trends in egg distribution comes in two fold - buyers trend and sellers trend.
Now is SELLERS trend. Its occasioned by scarcity of the item generally. The reason being non-availability of large volume of egg laying birds for one reason or the other.
The coming trend is BUYERS trend. It is occasioned by above average availability of eggs thus that farm owners and mega distributors may be asking buyers to have the eggs and make payments on a latter date.

If you have been following my posts, you will find out that some people who entered into the egg distribution business were not given the opportunity get their supplies at the moment. They are always rejected and told to come back by Nov/Dec. In the next few months the trend will change where those who told rejected to sell to them will be asking them to come and buy.

I hope i made sense?

So much sense.

The next important thing is this:-

Do not be carried away with the coming excess supply.
Do your best to make a deal with one or two distributors, if you can do that with a farm directly better. It is key to do this.

Sourcing the eggs is the most challenging stuff in this business.

A lot have taken place few days ago.
I was nearly scammed on multiple occasions but God was there by my side.

The good news is that i have learnt more than i bargained for before i started sharing my adventure online.

Now i have realized that investing in Agriculture is even SMARTER than many businesses we hype.

I met the owner of Olabel Farms today! I spent few hours with her and she gave me ideas that is more than egg distribution! I am putting our conversation in a simple story soonest.

Have you heard of Olabel Farms? Ask, Seek, Knock and the door will be opened.

One of the few genuine threads on NL biz & investment section...kudos @ op

yesoo I love it

The lingering scarcity of Eggs will not end in the next few months.
Also, the cost of a live chicken is most likely to experience upwards price movement.
Having visited about 5 Mega farms in the South-West, they complained about one major thing - non-availability of Corn.
Before now, the shortage has been met via importation. Today, importation has been banned and the sum total of local production is below demand. Corn is the basic content of animal feed.
Two major consumers of Corn, Nigerian Breweries and Flour Mills are buying up almost everything the big Corn farmers are producing. Thus the not so large poultry farms are being strangled with style.

On the other hand, our population has increased while some poultry farms reduced their volume of birds.

In one of the farms that has the production capacity of 12,000 crates weekly, before now they do give out large volume of eggs in credit, as at yesterday, clients made a deposit of over N3,000,000.00 in excess.

Do you know that supplying eggs to mid-sized supermarkets is more lucrative?
I will give you the calculations and reasons shortly.

I went about town to sample the prices of Crates of egg sold in the above average supermarkets in town.
I found the following:-
Crate of 6 - N200
Crate of 12 - N450
Crate of 30 - N1,000

The sizes i found in those crates were on the average medium size eggs. Normally you can get it at the rate of N680 a crate from a distributor or farm, thus the unit price stands @ N23.
The transparent crates used in packaging them goes for - by 30-N80, by 12-N40 and by 6-N20.

Crate of 6 is supplied @ N175 = income at supply point-N17
Crate of 12 is supplied @ N350 = income at supply point-N34
Crate of 30 is supplied @ N880 = income at supply point-N110

How did i arrive at the above figures [income]?
Nos of egg * N23 + cost of crate less supply figure.

I can confidently say that a new entrant who may not have means of transportation for inland delivery can focus on the supermarkets and grow his or her capital faster.
You can edge out the big farms who are dominating this area for one reason, their cost is a bit high due to serial sales command that they must factor in.

Blackkie:

You will get the crates at a pocket friendly rate when you source them directly from the factory. One of such is at Sagamu in Ogun state.

This week, we shall look at running a full time Egg Distribution shop.
I have understudied a lady running such shop, interacted with her both during her pick sales time frame and joined her in sourcing of the items. She also buys from me on weekly basis.
Her experience is worth taking into consideration.

@blackkie, thanks for d info and d insider secret of this business for free. Thanks. Keep it up and keep it coming.
