If there is one food that almost everyone in Nigeria eat is garri. It is the food for both the rich and the poor . The demands for garri is always on the high side daily and the price of the product continues to skyrocket because few people produce garri that is being consumed by the whole country. The law of demand and supply is what is at play here . Out of the few that are being produced by local farmers in villages across the country, many of them are being wasted in the villages where they are produced due to lack of access to good means of transportation .Most of the farmers just produce as plenty as they can but a fraction of what they produce gets to cities where we have the population and markets because of these challenges. As at today , a paint of garri is being sold in Lagos for about N1,300 Naira while the same paint of garri goes for as little as N650 to 700 Naira in Okitipupa, Ondo State where we have many garri mills.
Suppliers of garri make as much as over 300% profits . For example, from Okitipupa to Lagos by road is 3 hours maximum while from Ore to Lagos is less than 2 hours drive. Imagine if you buy garri at very cheap price from Ore or Okitipupa to Lagos for sale. In less than two months, many people might think you did money rituals because the profits is just overwhelming. Garri is even cheaper if you buy from the villages in the Eastern and Some Southern parts of the country Like Enugu, Delta, Edo, Ondo, some parts of Ogun and few others.
This opportunity has been there for long. The reason why many refuse to tap into it is because of ego and Education. Yes, i said education because an average Nigerian graduate has the mindset of working for someone and not working for his or herself. Also, another major reason why youths especially refuse to go into this profitable business and the like is because of what the society will say. You hear phrases like ” What will people think or say about , a graduate selling garri” anytime i hear this , it really weakens me because life is an individual journey and success is the best revenge for undue critics. We tend to measure standards by what people think about us and not what will better our lives. That is why many people remains poor and will continue to be so until they refused to allow their lives to be shaped by what others say or do.
Garri business can easily make you a billionaire yes i said billionaire, it is not a typographical errors. Check this out, do you know that if you have 2 million people patronising you and you make profit of N500 Naira from each person, your ROI will be a billion Naira. Pick your calculator and check it out. Sales of garri is a very profitable venture. This can be done by young and old, across all gender. Unfortunately this lucrative venture has been left in the hands of few for long time in Nigeria.
