MELON SEED DECORTICATION BUSINESS IN NIGERIA: THE OPPORTUNITIES.
There are two major seasons in Nigeria - the wet and dry seasons. The total annual rainfall decreases from 3,800mm at Forcados on the coast to below 650mm at Maiduguri in the north east of the country.
The length of the rainy seasons also decreases from nearly 12 months in the south to below 5 months in the North. Nigeria has relatively high temperatures throughout the year. The average annual maximum varies from 35 C in the north to 31 C in the south while the average annual minimum ranges from 23 C in the south to 18 C in the north.
This variability of the climate not only affects agricultural but also the type and distribution of the crops cultivated in different parts of the country.
One of such agricultural product it affects is melon seed, which is mainly found in the southern part of the country. Melon seeds {egwusi} is one of the major delicious soup making ingredients in Nigeria and apart from the climate which affects it distribution and production, requires that the shell be decorticated before it can be processed for consumption.
The manual decortication of egwusi which is mostly in use in Nigeria is not only time consuming and slow but also can be drudgery. The effect of this that output is usually low and sometime creating scarcity of the product with it associated the high cost especially in non producing areas during off season.
However, with recent advances in the fabrication of machines in Nigeria, melon shell decorticating can be fabricated thereby aiding the decorticating of the product, increasing output, creating employment and wealth for savvy investors.
The market for egwusi in Nigeria is national, sustainable and growing.
The investor can choose to only decorticated the product and then package or after decorticating the product, grind and then package. The final product can be packed in sachets or small plastic containers.
To sell decorticated melon seed {egwusi} in Nigeria or, the investor might have to register with the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration Control {NAFDAC} in Nigeria and at such the promoters would have to ensure that the production meets good quality standard by ensuring stringent and hygienic condition prevail at the production plant.
