Are you considering a trading business to do this year; one that is lucrative and capable of generating you money in millions? Palm oil trading is it!<\/p>\n\n

Facts About Palm Oil<\/h2>\n

Two types of oil are derived from the oil palm fruit. These are palm oil and palm kernel oil. While palm oil is extracted from the reddish pulp of the palm fruit, palm kernnel oil is derived from the stone-like nut in the middle of the fruit.<\/p>\n

Palm oil accounts for about 40% of world’s vegetable oil supply<\/a> and has versatile utility.\u00a0 It is a common source of cooking oil in Africa and used for producing food and non-food products, including bar soap, detergent, and cream.<\/p>\n

It is also used for biofuel.\u00a0 \u00a0As a matter of fact, more than half of Europe’s palm oil import is used for biodiesel. These are just a few of the reasons the demand for palm oil is high.<\/p>\n

And in this post, you will learn how to start the business of palm oil trading.<\/p>\n

Our ebook covers Palm kernel oil production and trading<\/a> which is another lucrative business one can engage in and make good money.<\/p>\n

Palm Oil Production In Nigeria<\/h2>\n

The oil palm crop grows in humid tropical conditions and it was originally found in West Africa.\u00a0 With about 1,250,000 mt per annum production, Nigeria accounts for about 7% of world output and ranks 5th in global palm oil production behind Colombia, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.\u00a0 Papua New Guinea, Cote de Voire, Cameroon and Ghand also produce the palm oil crops in Africa.<\/p>\n

In Nigeria, palm oil producing belt include:<\/p>\n

South East\u00a0 \u00a0 –\u00a0 \u00a0 Enugu, Imo, Abia and Anambra States<\/p>\n

South-South\u00a0 –\u00a0 \u00a0Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Rivers States<\/p>\n

South West\u00a0 \u00a0 –\u00a0 \u00a0 Ondo, Ekiti, Oyo, Ogun States<\/p>\n

Nigeria has the potential of being the world’s highest producer of palm oil but for many years of low investment in the sector.\u00a0 According to available data, the country is not self sufficient in palm oil production, having an annual demand of 2,500,000 mt.<\/p>\n

Thus, the country has import to augment the shortfall.\u00a0 According to a CBN data, the country need about N60 billion annually to import palm oil in order to meet local consumption.<\/p>\n

The sector needs huge private capital investment for the country to ramp up production and meet local demand as well as export the product for foreign exchange earnings.\u00a0 Areas that opportunities exists include oil palm cultivation (palm plantation) and palm oil milling and refining.<\/p>\n

Millers produce the crude palm oil that is the subject of the business ideas we are discussing in this article.<\/p>\n

How to Trade in Palm Oil<\/h2>\n

Produce traders adopt either of, or a combination of two business models when it comes to palm oil trading.\u00a0 These are Storage and Sale; and what we can call continuous trading (buy and sell).<\/p>\n

Store and Sale<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Palm oil is a seasonal crop, meaning it has a peak season when it is in abundance and an off season when it is scarce.\u00a0 During the peak season, the product is cheap and some traders will prefer to buy during this period, store it and then resell during the period of scarcity when the prices of palm oil is high.<\/p>\n

At its peak season, a gallon of palm oil can be bought for as low as N15,000 and sold as high as N20,000 or N25,000 in off season.<\/p>\n

The period January to May is the peak for palm oil production, while the off season is between June to December.<\/p>\n

A lot of factors come to play in storing palm oil and selling when the price is high, so it is important that you take time to study this business before you venture into it.<\/p>\n

Continous Buy and Sell Method<\/h3>\n

A trader using this business model would source his products from the local mills around and in the villages; take the products to the city and sell at profit.<\/p>\n

Other Ways of Palm Oil Trading<\/h3>\n

You are not cut out for the rigorous of sourcing palm oil from around the corner, traveling from town to town to get products to sell?<\/p>\n

Don’t worry, you can still benefit from the business of palm oil trading by speculating on the price movement. This involves trading the financial instruments<\/a> on commodity exchanges as well as its derivatives via the Over the Counter (OTC) market.<\/p>\n

Trading futures, options and commodity CFDs through online brokers<\/a> are some of the ways engage in palm oil trading.<\/p>\n

Steps to Starting Palm Oil Trading Business<\/h2>\n

The focus of this article is on physcal trading of the commodity and here’s how to go about it.<\/p>\n

#1. Choose Your Palm Oil Trading Business Model<\/h3>\n

As we identified in the earlier paragraph, you can either buy the product when production is at its peak and price is low, store it and then resell in offseason when price is high.\u00a0 Or you can decide to trade through both seasons.<\/p>\n

Deciding on either of the ways of doing this product should be preceded by a serious market study.\u00a0 Identify the challenges, risks and ensure you are able to mitigate the risks.<\/p>\n

#2. Identify Sources of Supply<\/h3>\n

This is very important.\u00a0 Having a regular source of supply of the products will ensure you are able to meet the demands of your customers at all times.\u00a0 Traders usually go round the villages and towns to buy off products from local palm oil mills and individuals.<\/p>\n

If possible, get the small scale producers you have identified to have an exclusive buying agreement with you so that they sell to only you as long as the contract subsists.<\/p>\n

#3. Develop Your Market<\/h3>\n

You\u00a0 can either sell your product in the open commodity market or by direct supplies to companies that use them in their production process.\u00a0 \u00a0You will make more profit from the later.\u00a0 However, it may prove to be a bit more difficult getting these companies.<\/p>\n

With proper marketing you will be able to get two to three companies that will regularly buy from you.<\/p>\n

What companies should prospect for your palm oil? Cosmetics manufacturers, companies that make butter, margerine, soaps, and chemicals like resin, etc.\u00a0 Identify these companies and market your products to them.\u00a0 They are always in need and the big palm oil producers are not able to meet their needs.\u00a0 So, fill in the gap.<\/p>\n

#4. Draft Your Business Plan<\/h3>\n

I cannot over emphasize the need to craft a business plan<\/a> for enterprise you want to venture into.\u00a0 It ensures you are able to articulate every aspects of the business: the cost, market, logistics, registration, etc.<\/p>\n

Your business plan need not be something fanciful or too technical.\u00a0 Do it in an easy and simple manner as you can.\u00a0 And keep it for easy reference as you go along setting up and running your business.<\/p>\n

However, if you need to seek funding from external sources such as partners, investors or the banks, then your business plan must be properly done.\u00a0 In this case, you may have to engage a consultant to help you develop one.<\/p>\n

#5. Raise Your Capital<\/h3>\n

Having carefully done your business plan, you are in a position to know how much you need to start this business.\u00a0 The business of palm oil trading is scalable, meaning you can start small and grow big as your capacity increases.<\/p>\n

From my interaction with people engaged in this business, you can start with the sum of N500,000; N1,000,000 will give you a more comfortable head start.<\/p>\n

#6. Register Your Business<\/h3>\n

Registering your business comes with a lot of benefits.\u00a0 And more so in palm oil trading it is particularly beneficial if you will be supplying products to companies.\u00a0 A simple business name registration will serve you adequately as a small business.<\/p>\n

Business registration in Nigeria<\/a> is done at the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and you can this online all by yourself.<\/p>\n

#7. Set Up Storage Facility<\/h3>\n

This is very important if you are adopting the store and sell business model.\u00a0 Even if you are just buying and selling outrightly, you will still need a place to keep your product before taking it to the market.\u00a0 A lock up shop or a clean safe place in your compound will serve you well.<\/p>\n

#8. Market Your Product<\/h3>\n

You are not in business if you do not sell.\u00a0 Therefore, part of your market development efforts should be directed at selling.<\/p>\n

There are different channels you can use to promote and generate sales.\u00a0 Some of these are: words of mouth, social media engagement, online ads, etc.\u00a0 Seek and belong to relevant trade association that provides opportunities for networking as well as trade referals.<\/p>\n

Create a website or youtube channel and load it with content relevant to your business.\u00a0 Good content will help you drive engagement and therefore generate leads.<\/p>\n

Final Words<\/strong><\/p>\n

The business of palm oil trading is an acient one.\u00a0 However it bacame popular as a major product of international trade for two reasons.\u00a0 The abolition of slave trade at the turn of the century and the industrial revolution in England.<\/p>\n

As palm oil became a major lubricant for the machines in British factories, it also became the major commodity for the slave ships which hitherto were taking slaves fro Africa to Europe.<\/p>\n

Today, palm oil has not diminished in importance.\u00a0 It’s domestic and industrial applications continue to grow, hence the increasing demand for the product.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the business of buying and selling palm oil will remain evergreen.<\/p>\n

There are also opportunities in the oil palm value chain.\u00a0 This include oil palm cultivation (plantation), palm oil milling and palm crude oil extraction, refining and fractionation.<\/p>\n

Starting businesses in these areas can be capital intensive and requires investment in expensive machines. Major players in this area in Nigeria include Presco Plc and Okomu Oil Palm Plc.<\/p>\n
