SUMMARY.
Wood Charcoal Production Analysis and Investment Plan.
Wood Charcoal production is a very profitable venture, this is true, however this write up does not just dwell on this fact, we aim to look at the challenges of production, how we have surpassed them to turn this fact into a bankable one.

WOOD CHARCOAL PRODUCTION.
Wood charcoal production in Nigeria is not new, a lot of ambitious persons have gone into it, some made a fortune, some scratched a living and others lost everything.
Making tangible returns on wood charcoal production requires an in depth understanding of its economics. The aim is to control its production and export to the right persons for a fair price.

REGISTERING A COMPANY.
We set out with the goal in mind, and that is to trade charcoal as part of many other commodities on an international level. The local demand for charcoal is in the billions of naira while America's demand for this same commodity is over a billion dollars (please google this). For us to be taken serious by any potential buyer we needed to register a company.
City Payment Option LTD was born.

CHOOSING A PRODUCTION SITE.
This is a tricky part. There are two states that major in charcoal production. Oyo state and Kwara State.
Oyo state is a good place to produce charcoal, its advantage is its proximity to Lagos. On the flip side it is not advisable to go there on a lean budget. The state basically started charcoal production commercially in the country and it has witnessed many success stories of charcoal business building houses on their soil and buying their lands in the hectares for little to nothing and has since grown wise. Now they tax heavily and even while it is still very profitable, it is not the first choice for a person with a lean budget.
Kwara state on the other hand is where we have made arrangements. They have trees that would last decades and their villages are still new at charcoal production, hence it cost us very little to set up a production site.
The name of the village is Loma near Arogbaiye town in Kwara state.

To be continued. I need to eat.

ok, waiting...

GETTING WORKERS. Factors.
Going to wood charcoal business without getting one's own workforce is not advisable. Without a dedicated work force a person would have to buy from the village and sell either in lagos or overseas and that leaves little profit and a lot of wasted efforts. A lot of the seminars on charcoal production focus on this, I say it is capital intensive, the creation of a less financially savvy mind and usually results in pure loss for a first, second and third timer.

Getting a work force is the only way to secure any investment made. The workforce earn significantly under N20,000 a month which is collectable after a year. All one has to do is feed them for the duration of the production process.
Now getting a work force is the hardest part of charcoal production. The workforce usually hail from either Benue state in Nigeria or from Togo, preferably the North of Togo.
The workforce from Markurdi are usually hard working, but they lack in honesty and always steal. If gotten, they are to be micro-managed. They are not advisable.
The work force from Togo however are the best at charcoal production. They collect way less money and since they rarely speak English (they speak French and their local tongue) they are often isolated and completely dependent on the company that brought them in.

It is not easy bringing them in, but we managed to make all the arrangements. The thing with them is this, they are sceptical of Nigerians, they are of the belief we are dubious and violent, and that we eat people. Once one is able to get past that stereotype, its a windfall. Right now we have 9 persons here and more than 60 people that want to come and work for us, thanks to the testament of the one's here to their Friends and families.

Our company informed their government via some signed document from the embassy of Nigeria in Togo to be forwarded to the embassy of Togo in Nigeria about these development so as not to make this activity count as human trafficking. The Togolese government whilst not providing jobs for their just 6 million population often feel slighted by the fact that their people often go to other countries looking for work. It was no easy task, but we were able to bypass all the sentiments.

You are cracking me up with your bogus comment. False claim? How ironic - are you referring to yourself. What happened in my life? Nothing. However, you just told nairaland that you dropped out of medical school (does that sound like frustration). Your anger is me informing innocent nairalanders that you are a fraud and a scam. Why you mad? You should be. Never finished school, never achieved your aim of becoming a medical doctor, angry at the society because you feel the system is wrong. Now you want your pound of flesh, to rip people off their hard earned money. Sorry you got busted. Nairaland doesn't need fraudsters like you. Go and get a decent job.

@OP: Plz go on with the exposition. Try not to be distracted by the ''small minded'' guy.
