I have a list of foreign companies that are interested in buying some agricultural products like cashew, ginger, cotton yarn etc. But the problem is that I don't have the cash to carry out the export because they want these products in very large quantities.

The deal is that I am thinking of joint venturing with some agro-product exporters here in Nigeria, whereby, I connect them with companies that are interested in the products they export outside our shores and they in turn will share a small percentage of the profit they make with me. It will be like a joint venture or I will act somehow like a broker between the two companies.

I really don't know the best way to approach these indigenous companies with this proposal. The foreign companies that I have in my list are all reputable and very much interested in these agricultural products.

Anyone with an idea should please post here. Share your ideas here people. The best way to approach this is all I am asking for.
You can contact me with this address nnadichigbo@yahoo.com
or call me on 08054990890.

First the fact is to know if you actually have a business,make sure you have one.if the internet contact simply dont bother yourself,or anyone else.

Requirements from the buyer re a Corporate LOI ie letter of intent issued under the penalty of pejury/LPO stating the items or products/qty/qlt ie quality and quantity signed by two executives of the buying company which shall include and sealed addressed to exporter.

Port of destination

Being an agricultural product Shipment is based on FOB (Strictly) incoterm2000 with its latest amendment.(NO CIF QED.)

Payment shall be either a confirmable Standby letter of credit,(slc) or 90days lifeshell letter of credit (lc) issued from a prime european bank, preferably JP MORGAN, HSBC made in favor of the exporter.

Charges on loading port shall be borne by the exporter at port of discharge by buyer.

if you re in lagos by dv i will be in for some business and may want to see you, for a confirmation of evidence you have,if am satisfied we can then make the first move.

lets i forget we can accept Irrevocable Confirmable Letter of credit on FOB shipment. But on CIF (SLC) nothin less, and a fully authorization from the buyer to soft probe his account by our corresponding bank in UK.
