GINGER EXPORT IN NIGERIA; THE OPPORTUNITIES.

Up until the late 1970's when hydrocarbon was discovered in commercial quantity ,Agriculture remained the mainstay of the Nigerian economy contributing over 90% of the Gross Domestic Product {GDP} as against the less that 10% which it now contributes.

The climatic and soil conditions in Nigeria supports the cultivation and rearing of different crops and animals respectively and ginger is one of the products grown in abundant quantity.
Ginger is an important spice crop widely grown in Nigeria . The botanical name for ginger is Zingiber Officinale {Rhizomes} while the local names for the product in Nigeria include Chitta {Hausa} ,Oso- ala or Oso - Chikwu {Igbo} and Ata'le {Yoruba}.

Nigeria is one of the largest producers of ginger in the world and the product can be found in large quantity in different parts of the country to include Kaduna,Nassarawa,Kano,Sokoto, Bauchi etc.

Ginger in in three {3} forms namely fresh {green} ginger,whole dry ginger and split dry ginger.The fresh ginger refers to the newly harvested ginger with little or no lost in moisture content. This type of ginger is not in hot demand in the international market because of the length of time it takes for the product to dry up and use in production.

Dry whole and dry split ginger are the most sorted after gingers in the international market with whole dry ginger commanding higher price because of the longer time it taes for the product to get dry and ready for sales.

The type of ginger grown in Nigeria is the yellow tye which possesses harsh pungent and very strong odour.

The general specification for dry ginger in th international market is given below

Quality: 1st grade
Thickness: 2-5mm
Moisture Content: Max 12%
Acid Insoluble Ash: Max 1%
Alcohol Soluble Extracts: Max 9%

It should be noted that specification varies from buyer to buyer.

Ginger is used for domestic and industrial purpose.Some of the products from ginger are ginger biscuit,ginger marmalade,ginger ale and more recently ginger sweets and drinks.

The present international price of dry split ginger as at the ime of writting this report is $ 1200/MT FOB and the investor can make between 10% -15 % return on investment.

VERICOMPOST PRODUCTION{FERTILIZER PRODUCTION} IN NIGERIA; THE OPPORTUNITIES.

Until the late 1970's ,Agriculture used to be the mainstay of the Nigerian economy contributing as much as over 90% of the Gross Domestic Product {GDP} and employing over 70% of the entire population.directly or indirectly.

Then each region in the country produced different agricultural products suitable to their soil and climatic condition. The northern part of the country produce mainly groundnuts, soya bean,hide and skin,cotton seed in large quantity while the south eastern part of the country produce oil palms products. In south western Nigeria Cocoa,rubber,oil palm and kola nut are produced in large quantity for export.

However, upon the discovery of crude oil in commercial quantity and the subsequent drilling of the first oil well in Oloibiri in present day Bayelsa state,the agricultural sector in Nigeria suffered neglect from successive government because of the easy and huge revenue the government were receiving as royalty and other taxes from the oil producing companies.

This situation as resulted in the agricultural sector contributing less than 10% of the Gross Domestic Product {GDP} of the country in the past twenty {20} years in-spite f the fact that over 70% of the total land area of Nigeria is good for Agricultural production.

With less achievement in the social and economic development of the country over thirty {30} years of producing hydrocarbon,government at the federal,state and local level has come to the realization that unless the country returns to agriculture as the mainstay of the economy less would be achieved. Not just in terms of revenue would a shift back to agriculture be beneficial but in the use of modern technology that are cost effective to feed the teaming population.

Nigeria has a lot of comparative advantage in the production of so many agricultural produce given the good nature of our soil and climatic condition. The government is providing irrigation services to encourage all year round farming in the country .

Fertilizer is a very important input in any agrarian society like Nigeria where over 50% of the population still engage in one form of farming or the other . It is a known fact that no meaningful agricultural operations can be carried out without the application of the right fertilizer to enhance good yield.

The most common type of fertilizer in Nigeria are the inorganic type in different NPK composition ,NPK standing for Nitrogen ,Phosphorous and Potassium.

However,due to a number of factors like the cost and ease of procurement and the harmful nature of the chemicals to the environment ,farmers and indeed government would readily partner with investors that can a batter alternative,as can be seen with the Lagos state government that is producing fertilizer from about 30% of the total waste generated in the state and sales to farmers at a much better rate compared to the inorganic types.

Vermicompost is the product or process of composting utilizing various species of worms, usually red wigglers, white worms, and earthworms to create a heterogeneous mixture of decomposing vegetable or food waste, bedding materials, and vermicast. Vermicast, similarly known as worm castings, worm humus or worm manure, is the end-product of the breakdown of organic matter by a species of earthworm.

The market for fertilizer in Nigeria is national ,expanding and sustainable. The market is second only to petroleum products in Nigeria. Various tiers of government gives great priority to it's availability and distribution.

It is important to note that over 80% of all the fertilizer consumed in the country is imported.

Vericompost production would provide a cost effective benefit for farmers and government would be a viable business to venture into.

HAULAGE RICHES IN NIGERIA

Haulage involves the transportation of goods by road and railway. It is very important to the socio-economic development of any nation and if the vision 20: 2020 of the present administration is to be achieved, the government would have to develop the transportation system . An efficient transport system is an essential component in the production and distribution of goods.

Since the collapse of the rail system in Nigeria, road haulage business has assumed a wider dimension and has become the most utilized way of intercity movement of goods and services. Goods usually convened petroleum products, building materials, containers, solid minerals, agricultural products and other finished products.

MARKET ANALYSIS OF THE PROJECT

The market analysis of the project would be viewed under the following

1.Country Background
2.Market Review
3.Projected Demands
4.Competition

Country Background:

Nigeria has one the fastest growing economies in the African continents. The country is located 50 degrees north of the equator covering an area of about 923,968 square kilometers.It has boundaries with the following countries/locations :North – Republic of Niger, South – Atlantic Ocean, East – Republic of Cameroon and West – Republic of Benin.

Nigeria’s major exports are crude oil,rubber,cocoa,sesame seed,solid minerals,cotton,hides and skin etc. The country is aggressively developing her tourism sector.Nigeria can currently boast of over one thousand {1000} 3 star hotels and 5 star hotels scattered in different parts of the country.

The banking sector has also been fully developed to service the expanding economy.The country has about 25 commercial banks and hundreds of micro-finance banks for easy access to funds for short,medium and long term development projects to small,medium and large enterprises.

The transport sector is also receiving a major boost from the various tiers of government .Currently.more than twenty shipping lines do business in Nigeria. The country’s domestic water ways is also aggressively being developed especially with the recent dredging of the lower Benue river.The country has network of roads linking the thirty-six states to each other though the state of the roads is at various stages of disrepair. Also over twenty international and fifteen domestic airlines do business in Nigeria.

Market Review:

Since the collapse of the rail system in Nigeria,more emphasis has been given to road transportation. The haulage market is national. With a population of over 140 million people,an estimated national population growth rate of 5.7% per annum and an average economic growth rate of 3.5% in the past five {5}years,Nigeria has a large ,expanding and sustainable market for haulage business.

In the northern part of the country,the products readily convened are agricultural produce and solid minerals while in the southern part of the country ,the products readily transported are petroleum products and other finished products through the commercial and economic nerve centres of lagos,Abuja,kano,kaduna,port-harcourt,aba etc.

Nigeria has remained a strong member of various international organizations such as the Economic Community of West Africa States {ECOWAS} which allows for the free movement of people,goods and services amongst member countries hence dipping the market opportunity in the haulage business.

Project Demand:

Person and companies usually in need of haulage services includes manufacturing companies,exporters and importers amongst others.

Generally, in Nigeria opportunities exist in the lifting and transportation of petroleum,granite from quarry site ,sand from rivers and finished products from industries and these has lead to a broad classification of the haulage industry into three namely

1. Tanker-Trailer
2. Tipper
3.Cranes

Tanker- Trailer: They vary in size, shape and capacity and these also affect the use to which they are put to. Tankers are usually used in the transportation of petroleum products. The size also reflects the use to which the truck might be put to as kerosene and diesel delivery trucks especially home delivery are smaller then those use filling stations. The trailer can also be used to convene agricultural products from the north to the south . If the entrepreneur intends to use the truck in the transportation of petroleum product, he/she would have to register with the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers {NUPENG}

Tippers: Tippers are used in the transportation of granites and sands from the quarry site and lakes respectively for use in the construction industry. To be involved in the business, you have to be registered with the quarry site you intend to lift the products from.
Cranes:Cranes are used in the lifting and transportation of heavy duty equipment like generators,transformers,containers,PHCN poles and other such heavy duty equipments.Cranes comes in different design,capacity and use.We have the 20 tons cranes,a crane that can carry 20 tons and below weight of load.The self loader,that can load it self and the low bed crane used in the transaction of other earth moving equipment like excavators and graders.

There are three {3} basic way of entering the haulage market and they include

As an Independent Operator
As a contractor or Sub-contractor
Leasing of truck to Haulage companies

Independent Operator:

As an independent operator you operate your truck and seek for contract from the multi-nationals and other interested parties on your own and get paid for deliveries made.

As an independent operator,you would do your own maintainance and repair,employ your own driver. You can decide to employ a manager who would scout for goods and also do the day to day running of the business.

As a Contractor or Sub- Contractor:

As a contractor with a multi-national or manufacturing company, you have decided to place your fleet with the company and they would manage it for you,secure the driver and the maintainance and repair and pay you every month a agreed amount ranging between N400,000 to N600,000.

Of course , you have to be registered with the company .

As a sub-contractor, you are coming under a contractor in that company to register you fleets as their own and pay you an agreed sum after taking there commission.

It is important that before going into these agreement you study the terms and conditions of the contract with your lawyers.

Leasing of truck to Haulage Companies:

Leasing out the truck to a haulage company is same as being a contractor with a multi-national .The only difference is that this time you are going to the dealing with a haulage company instead of a multi-national though the terms and condition might not be different .

Again it is important to go with your lawyer.

A lot of haulage companies exist that wants to go into partnership with truck owners.

Competition:

The enterprenuer would meet strong competition from companies already in the business especially when the enterprenuer wants to be a contractor.

For first time operator with small start-up capital, it is better to lease the truck to a haulage company but if you have the funds to compete in the market ,go independent.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE PROJECT

Just like it would be difficult to place a fixed amount as the start-up requirement ,It would be difficult also to state for sure how much to be made form the business because it depend on the method of management the enterprenuer wants to employ.

The amount of start-up requirement would depend on whether you are buying a brand new trailer,second hand popularly known as “TOKUNBO” or buying a trailer head and refurbishing the engine. The cost of a brand new ranges from N 15 Million to N20 Million depending on the brand and capacity while the cost of a second hand ranges from N6 Million to N7 Million.

However,since the enterprenuer would be buying the truck personally, the start-up capital would depend greatly on his/her negotiating skills.

The money to be made from the business depends greatly on the management style the enterprenuer wants to adopt.

If the enterprenuer choices to lease out the truck ,he/she can be making N400,000 –N600,000 monthly after deducting expenses .If a trailer travels from lagos to kano,they charge between N180,000 to N200,000 per trip but if it within lagos they charge between N40,000 to N80,000 depending on the distance and the product the truck is carrying .If it carrying petroleum product, the fee is usually high.

Tippers used in the transportation of granites and sand charge between N30,000 – N35,000 per trip.

CASSAVA FLOUR PRODUCTION IN NIGERIA; THE OPPORTUNITIES.

Cassava tubers is one of those agricultural products that can be cultivated in any part of the country . This is possible because they grow in relatively poor soil and in low rainfall areas.Nigeria remains the largest producer of cassava in the world producing both varieties {Sweet Cassava,Manihot Palmata and Bitter Cassava ,Manihot Utilissima} in large quantity.

Cassava can be processed into garri,fufu,flour and livestock feeds for human and animal consumption.The market demand for cassava derivatives is increasing by the day especially in the flour mill industry ,where the governement policy of making composite bread flour mandatory, combining 10% of unfermented cassava flour with 90% wheat flour since January 2005 ,has created a market valued at over twenty-eight billion naira { N28 Billion}.

This has created an opportunity for cassave farmers to add value to the product and make more money before selling. The investor can choose to process the product into cassave cake and sell to cassava flour miller or producing cassava flour directly from fresh cassava tubers and selling to the wheat flour millers directly.

The plant for the processing of fresh cassava tubers to flour can be fabricated locally and the cost would be dependent on the scope the investor wants to operate.

To process the fresh cassava tubers into cake the machine required is a grater and an hydraulis press. For the manually operated plant, the financial requirement is about N300,000 while the electrical driven cassava cake production plant would cost about N 800,000 producing two {2} tones of cassava cake per hour.

An ideal cassava flour mill can produce a minimum of three {3} tones of cassava flour per day and would need an input of 12 tones of fresh cassava tubers.That is,two {2} tones of fresh cassava tubers will produce one {1} tone of cassav cake and two {2} tones of cassava cake will produce one {1} tone of cassava flour.

The estimated total project cost for the cassava flour production plant is given below.

Preliminary Expenses N150,000
Plant and Machinery N3,000,000
Accomodation N750,000
Furniture N300,000
Vehicle N850,000
Working Capital N500,000

Total N 5,500,000

From the investment analysis an average turnover of N25,000 Net is expected per day and the return on investment is expected within a year of operations.

KAOLIN DEPOSITS IN NIGERIA ; THE OPPORTUNITIES

For a nation that wants to grow, it must look inwards to identify areas where it has comparative advantage over other nations and effort should be geared towards the development of the identified areas.

Apart from crude potentials of Nigeria, Nigeria also has comparative advantage in the solid minerals sector owning to the large deposits of minerals scattered in the different parts of the country and if the nation is to achieve vision 2020, more efforts should be geared towards the development of the solid minerals sector of the Nigerian economy.

Kaolin is one of the industrial minerals that can be found in commercial quantity. In fact, Nigeria has an estimated reserve of about two {2} billion metric tones of kaolin deposit scattered in different parts of the country to include ogun, edo, plateau and Nassarrawa states.

The market for kaolin is large, sustainable and expanding because of the numerous applications of the product. Also there is an outright ban on the importation of kaolin into the country in order to stimulate the growth of the local industry.

Kaolin can be supplied in raw or processed form depending on the requirement of the buyer. There is market for the raw and processed kaolin in Nigeria and abroad but I would dwell on the processed one for the supply in the local market.

Kaolin processing is of two types, the wet and dry process. The wet process is used when the silica content and impurities in the raw kaolin is high and usually the end product is high grade kaolin used in the pharmaceutical industry. The dry process involves the drying, crushing, sifting and bagging of the raw kaolin and it is usually employed for raw kaolin with less silica and impurity content.

There are no standard methods of processing for the treatment of different types of kaolin. Primarily the processing priority and the choice of suitable machines and equipment depend on the mineralogical spectrum of the crude kaolin and on the demands concerning the quality of the end products. The essential influencing factors which do not only determine the quality of the products but also the effort which should go into the technical processing are as follows:

- Type, %-proportion and particle size distribution of the clay minerals
- Type and %-proportion of silicate, oxidic and sulphide ‘’impurities’’
- Electrochemical surface phenomena of clay minerals
- Technological demands on the quality of the end products.

The effects of each of the factors overlap and have either a strengthening or weakening effect of specific quality characteristics. Therefore each factor can only be determined to a certain extent when assessing the attainable end qualities. These factors provide little information for the lay-out of a suitable process.
