I heard of it on radio on Wednesday morning that there was a communal clashes between the Egon and the Fulanis. I hope this doesnt get to the market where investors (non locals) have stake their resources.

I could not reach one of the agents I have their number, while one of them said he heard of it but not within the place to know if it affected the market or not. He promised to call me back today.

How is Egusi doing in the market now

cc Dav8id

Hello Oga, please i need private discution . Kindly call me or whatsapp me on 08165009221.

Agricultural produce storage business is not always as rosy as this guy is making you guys to believe. By the time you want to sell, there may be a glut in the market despite the fact that it is not harvesting period. Produce storage business is like a stock market, no guarantee of making profit. I was into this business in the past (up to early this year) so I'm speaking from the experience. The day this guy made the first post, I read it and I really liked his spirit. But along the line, his posts moved from advice and information to what I called Persuasion. Now, the guy is talking about his firm/boss, can we ask this guy the real role his firm (I mean the people he works for) are playing in all this? Are they also buying on their own which they store and resell and make their own profit or are they luring you guys into the business and make their profits through you guys? If later is the case, it means you guys will never be told the truth because they will make their own profits whether you guys make profit or not (they make their own profits either way). Again, storing your bought produce in a highly volatile environment is not advisable be it Fulani, Tiv, or Eggon community as all of them have capacity of spring surprise attacks on one another. He even said that because he is an Eggon boy/man, nobody can attack him. While I don't pray for you to be attacked, but lone Eggon man is as vulnerable as as lone Yoruba, Hausa or Ijaw man. Again, what I've also learnt is that we should be wary of business partners who talk arrogantly to us on phone because they always try to portray themselves as well-to-do and create a sense of "always in a hurry" and "ever busy" personalities. This is to prevent you from interacting with them and find out the area that is not clear to you through necessary questions. You guys should be very careful because:
1. Trusting your hard earned money with someone you have never meet in person has its own risk. 2. Not all the time that you store agricultural produce you make profit (and @op has deceived you in this aspect). 3. All those Areas are not safe for keeping your goods including Eggon area. He never mentioned one market that could be attacked before. After confirming the attacked market, he said so so and so markets are safe, really? If Group A attacked market B, what stops Group B from retaliating? All these communities have suffered frequent attacks and are still suffering from it.
Good luck to you all.

after reading through this whole thread one thing i'm wondering is why the warehouse owners don't just store the produce for the farmers and take their cut when its sold. say i'm a farmer and i have 200 bags to sell i sell 120 why not make a deal with the warehouse owner at 200 naira per bag till its sold? This brings only one conclusion: the farmer realizes its a gamble and while he might make his money back he could also lose money and end up in debt to the store keeper. hope all those that invested are monitoring the prices closely and i hope they don't get greedy and not sell when they have a good price in the hope it gets higher

I asked the same question if people can refer to some earlier pages. As a businessman myself, I know very very firsthand that projections of profit are never set in stone and no one can control all the variables. I mean, who ever thought of the communal clashes that led to the burning of one of the storehouse markets? That certainly did not come up.

Anyway business is risk. Nothing risked, nothing gained. I looked at the risk and felt I could not effectively manage them, and some of the comments the OP himself made did nothing to erase my doubts, so I decided to pass the opportunity.

There are others who will take the risk and it may yet pay off for them. Well, business is risk. But risks must be effectively managed.

Well, I read all the posts in this thread from the top.

This business is as old as I can remember. Even my parents did the beans thing briefly when I was a kid but stopped cos it wasn't as profitable as they thought.

The truth is that this is a business opportunity just like any other. There are inherent risks associated with any venture. Some will hit it big, some will lose everything. For those who will succeed, it will require tenacity and determination.

Even for those of us with supposedly paid and secure jobs, we face the risk of being told to go at short notice. I know quite well as I was a victim of this in the banking industry.

I commend the OP cos he has presented another business opportunity for the multitude who need what to do. And he is giving this information out for free on this forum. This is what some people who have no real experience of the business sell books and seminars on.

Instead of sitting down in your chair and criticising, let those who want to do this get out there and get started!

Well, it goes beyond sitting down in our chairs and criticising @op. He deliberately left out the risk aspects of the business for the reasons best known to him which was very bad. Agricultural produce storage in Nigeria is highly unpredictable but did he tell them all this? No. The question is why? I'm saying this as an authority in this business. Additional risk to this particular melon things here is storing your goods in crisis prone area.

I agree with you that the OP left out the risks associated with the business. There are soon many of them and its quite unpredictable. Government now has silos all around the country where they store produce. Supposing they decide to flood the market at the time you feel you should sell nko? What of having your produce destroyed by mould despite your best attempts at storage. But a simple lesson I have learnt in life is that you can never make it easily. All businesses have their ups and downs. Even if you are told all the pros and cons to a business, you can never fully understand it till you experience it first hand.

Filling your head with every little detail will discourage you, and waste precious time. Only the determined will make a success out of it.

I still feel it's worth a try. Any interested party should try first with a little amount, learn as much as you can quickly and take it up from there. The north produces most of our food, unfortunately most of that region is unstable. When you get the hang of the business, launch out and look for other markets to get your produce from.

authority2006: Agricultural produce storage business is not always as rosy as this guy is making you guys to believe.

Did he emphasize on all agricultural produce? He only talk about "Egusi STORAGE"

I can see why u're crying all over the thread because you hv bitter experience.

If i may ask you wat did you store? Bros i can see you store wrong agro produce. its not all agro produce dat are good for storage.Even farmers and some agent in the market will advise you not to store some produce because you can't sell it quick.

authority2006: The day this guy made the first post, I read it and I really liked his spirit. But along the line, his posts moved from advice and information to what I called Persuasion.
