What you can do before the season begins:

1. Buy jute bags: price of jute bags is usually low now. You can start buying jute bags and keep till the season begins. The price shoots up during the season.

2. Travel to your source: if you have a particular place you want to buy from, try and visit the place before the season takes off, familarize yourself with the town, meet your suppliers and try to run a thorough background check on them discreetly.

3. If you have trustworthy suppliers, you may advance some fund to them, so you could get good buying rate at the beginning of the season. Most farmers need money to take care of their plantation between now and february, this period is a very crucial periiod for farmers especially those who don't have money to run things. So they often look for people to advance money to them or they sell their plantation to investor at a very good rate.

4. Link up with foreign buyers: you can start looking for export deals now.

5. Try and get at least 3 local buyers (exporters) of raw cashew nuts in Nigeria: if you will be selling locally, you need to have at least 3 good buyers of cashew nuts in nigeria, most of these buyers are indian companies and are located in lagos. Although there are also individual exporters who have export contracts to service, so you may need to start linking up with prospective buyers now. Visit their offices and tell them you intend to supply them when the season takes off.

6. Start calling your uncles, aunts in the village to enquire about cashew especially if you are from any of the producing states: a lot of youth sit down in lagos doing nothing nowadays and they will be saying they are jobless, while there's treasure in the villages they left behind. There's an adage in yoruba language that says "igbe l'owo wa" (money is in the bush. Connect with them and let them know you have an interest.

7. Research: knowledge is power and nobody knows it all. Get online and do research on cashew nuts, learn from people who have knowledge about it. Read books, visit plantations, explore.

8. Start raising fund: capital is essential, if you have all d experience necessary and you don't have fund to execute it, it may affect you. Raise enough fund for the business.
