Dear NLers,

I'm interested in food processing biz & groundnut oil/palm kernel oil processing in particular in Nigeria.

Groundnut oil: used by most people in 9ja and peanuts/gnuts are abundant in Northern 9ja.
It is also used for making soap, as solvent and so on.

In Nigeria, there's currently a ban on imported vegetable oil although certain connected people get a waiver import licence.
While in 9ja recently I asked many people why they prefer imported veg oil to veg oil processed locallly. The most common answer was that the local one is mixed with "chemical" meaning adulterated. But I think this is more of a perception as local production is regulated by NAFDAC.
Granted, some locally produced oil might not be as well filtered as imported ones but that's not adulteration.

Palm Kernel oil: This is used by several industries such as cosmetics and pharmaceutical.
Palm kernel is abundant in Southern Nigeria especially SS & SE.

With so many unemployed youths in 9ja, I believe food processing can create lots of jobs.

Ladies & gentle, you can contribute as follows:

(1)I know how to source for raw materials and machinery (of course suggestions are ever welcome), I would like people already in the business to share their experience.
(2) How to market these products locally (I live in diaspora currently).
(3) Export market especially for palm kernel oil
(4) Any other useful information or expertise.

Thank you.

Keep your suggestions and opinions coming guys.

All the future Dangotes and Folorunshos in the house, over to you.

Lots of people are committing "lookery" Lolz!
