Pls like hw much can start d palm kernel oil production thanks Contact 08030705690 or adexomuo@yahoo.co.uk very much interested

Not quite a lot.

For you to start, you first have to decide what oil you will be producing.

CPKO or crude palm kernel oil is the basic for a lot of other oil types that are used for cooking, frying and are a bonding ages for lip sticks and ice cream.

If you want to focus on extracting CPKO, then you have to look at setting up a basic Mill.

I will be dropping the details for setting up and cost later as we go.

FESTAC101:
Thank you for the contributions and suggestion.

My questions are;

1) Can 800k start the palm Kernel suppl business comfortably?

2) Is the Palm Kernel seasonal,does it become unavailable in the rainy season,if so how do you keep getting supplies?

3) After excluding transportation cost,will one still have enough returns to motivate them to continue

4) What are the risks associated with the business?


Thanks as i await your response.

Hi Festac

That's roughly how much I started with.

Yes you can start with that amount.

Yes you can turn a profit even after expenses.

The problems you will face are from the transporters, the people you buy you kernel and the company you sell your to, oh and include the location where you will do you business.

The transporter moving your kernel will always try to over bill you and short change you. They will work with whoever you send with them to delivery you kernel so best start by going with them yourself.

Kernel Mills and sellers; yes the have a weigh Bridge, but you have your scales, (notice I said scales, not scale) carry as many as two from define manufacturers, as the seller and his or her boys will try and tamper with it.

They will also try to sell you water washed kernel with a surface covering of clean kernel and a bed rock of shells. Whatever heap of kernel the show you, take a shovel to all sides of it, if they have bagged it for you, offload and rebag again till your sure. (I can't stress this part enough, really shine your eyes here). Don't truth anyone to go get it for you till you have done it yourself enough times)

The company: They are the reason for your supply and they know it. Their people handling their machines will try their best to extort you or short change you. They usually offload into a hopper to separate shells from kernel. Which sometimes will separate more kernel than shells. They might tell you, that the oil content in your kernel is too low, and try to renegotiate prices.

You location: You really need to know where your base of operation is and how things work there. How much they sell kernel there, how much per trip by car, truck, bus or what ever, to pick up kernel from your suppliers and how much to delivery to your buys. Is your location secure is their storage.

These are the basics for anyone going into palm kernel supply, KNOW THEM BY HEART. Pity no one give me these details when I first started. But you learn as you go.

Hope that helps festac

I work with NEPA in onitsha but will like to venture into palm kernel production.

How do I start up the production line at small scale. I need a personal coach for one on one talk. I will also like a detailed overview from you guys. Thank you.

Hi Agricsalt

First off, nice name (luv it)

I am putting together a blog post for people who want to start palm production small scale.

But may I ask, what area are you looking at.

CPO that's milling for Crude palm oil
CPKO milling for crude palm kernel oil.

And what scale of production, small scale or large scale.

Hope to hear from you soon

What other products can you get from a Palm Tree


Yes yes we all love our native soup that comes from a Oil Palm Tree, Banga Soup.

That rich smooth texture that goes well with fresh fish, goat meat and fufu, that only a mix of palm oil and palm kernel oil can give.

Have you ever taken the time to ask.

What else can we get from a Oil Palm Tree?

Where will they be used?



What else can we get from a Palm Tree
I notice that when i ask people here in Nigeria, what other products they can get from a palm tree, aside from Palm Oil and Palm Kernel oil. Their usual answer is the shell or chaff, thats if they have a market for it. While others will say “nothing else”.

Truth is, there is much more you can get from a palm tree, even from the Palm oil and Palm kernel oil you already have.

These range from



Crude Palm Oil (CPO)
Crude Palm Oil is an oil that ranging from Blood red to Reddish yellow in color, its gotten from the pressed pulp of a palm oil fruit bunch. Here in Nigeria its usually used for cooking soups and stews, while also holding color well in Lip sticks.



Crude Palm Kernel Oil (CPKO)
Crude Palm Kernel Oil is a light yellow oil that comes from crushed and pressed Palm Kernel, the color comes about because of the Lauric acid it contains. It has a wide range of uses when refined, from keeping chocolate solid at room temperate to frying pasteries.



Refined Palm Oil (RPO)
Refined Palm Oil is an oil that comes from the process of Refining, Bleaching and Deodorizing Crude Palm Oil (CPO). Due to its refinement and low fatty Acid of O.5% it can be used as cooking oil.



Refined Palm Kernel Oil (RPKO)
This Refined Palm Kernel Oil comes about by processing, refining , bleaching and Deodorizing Crude Palm Kernel Oil. Also used for cooking oil as well.



Palm Olein (PKOO)
Palm Kernel Olein is RBD Vegetable Oil, Its Palm Kernel oil that has been fully Refined, Bleached and Deodorized. Because of its high melting point and steep melting profile, you will always see it used for Ice cream.



Palm Stearin
Palm Stearin is a solid whitish crystaline substance obtained from the fractionation of Refined Bleached and Deodorized Palm Oil. It is mainly used by the food industry, particularly for mixing flour for making pastries like biscuits, dough for pizza or snacks.



Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD)
Palm Fatty Acid Distillate is a high free fatty acid that is mainly used by cosmetics and soap industries. PFAD is obtained as a by-product of the refining process.



Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB)
The Empty Fruit Bunches usually come about after the Palm Oil Fruits have been separated from the bunch. After separation, they are usually wet. When dried they can be used as a source of fuel at the or returned back to the plantation as decaying fertilizer for the palm trees.



Palm Fibres and Palm Kernel Shells
Palm Fibres are the chaffs and debris that come from shelling of palm kernels. They are a good source of fertilizer used by melon and pineapple plantations. Palm Kernel Shells also gotten from cracking palm kernel, are a good source of fuel material for blacksmiths for their casts and forges, when used in small quantites. It can also be turned charcoal, but tends to have a high amount of impurities. It can also be used in making a light cement substitute material called Pozzolana.



Conclusion
Now you can see that the Palm Tree does have a lot of other uses.

Although there are still questions like

How do you extract the above at a cost efficient and effective value?

Who will will you sell them to?

If you would like to see answers to the above, then do stay tunes, as we will be breaking down each of the above products. We will look at how you can produce each these products by yourself in our subsequent posts.

Now if you know of any other palm products that we missed, please drop us a comment on them, and we will add it to our list of the list of palm produce above and to our future posts.

Your welcome bruv

Brianromel please I will like us to talk. If possible now 08036227688

Hello guys
I've been thinking about owning palm oil mill around Port-harcourt, but my challenge is I don't know how to run the business. I want to do it myself but I need somewhere to get trained first so that I can get valuable insight into the business.

Does anyone know any mill in Port-harcourt or around ph where I can get trained?

I'm happy to come in contact with this thread. I searched it on google. I have concluded plans to start a palm oil milling plant in Eket local government of Akwa Ibom State immediately after my NYSC in September, 2016. I need advice on the details I may not have known. Marketing etc. I would have quality palm oil, palm kernel nut for sale. The palm oil will be low fatty acid and low peroxide value. Our quality control strategy will be given utmost concern.

Please,who knows how much RIVOC is buying PKN per ton in PH?

Hi all,
Please could someone make me know if there is any association to join for palm kernel bussiness before venturing to it?

brianromel:
A lot been said and done under a palm tree.

Some of us grew up around them without any knowledge of the gold mine we took for granted. You might ask, what gold mine? Oh just a N57 Billion industry that keeps waxing strong year in year out.

A business that produces things like our beloved Gbanga soup, palm oil for our others soups, palm kernel oil for our soaps and creams. And a list of other stuff. From animals feeds, to roofing materials and the latest, brake pads.

Don’t blame yourself, even I didn’t know also.

It took a crazy ass decision on my part and the massive help of an uncle, for me to give up the city life and a job as a sales executive in Standard Alliance in 2008. To head back to the village, just to understand this “Old Men’s Business” as they called it then.

And boy was it an eye opener.

In two months, i made over 3 million naira supplying palm kernel, with an initial start-up capital of N684,000. There I was thinking to myself, no wonder its call “old man’s business”.

Some of you know what I am talking about. You grew up with your grandfather or aunty or uncle, who owned large expanse land with a palm plantation, as far as the eyes could see. But of late, everyone else has moved off to the big city. Once a year you head back home, only to use the trees as shade or a lovers spot.

Dude like seriously, that part of a N57 Billion business you are letting go to waste.

So what should you do?

What if I were to take by hand literally and show you what business you can do with the below mentioned palm products.

Palm oil (Red oil)
Palm kernel oil
From Planting, harvesting, milling and supplying of palm oil, palm kernel palm oil to markets and companies around the country from Lagos to Port harcourt.

I will show you how you can get started in these areas
Palm oil production and supply
Palm Kernel production and supply
Palm kernel oil production and supply
What to do with kernel shells and Chaff.
How you can make money on each
The places to go for the products
Which times of the year is best to do business,
Which companies to supply your product.
Plus where to find an export market for your product.


About now you are wondering.

Why in the hell would he be doing this?

Obviously there is a caught?

My reasons, I have had a lot of calls over the years from people asking me about how I got started where I supplied to where I got my products. In each case I have given them the details without asking for a penny.

This is my way of putting it all out there so people can easily get at the information they need rather than always calling me about it.

Secondly, a lot of other people tend to be cryptic, about giving information about this business. They tend to ask you to pays a sum or the other. Heck, you are eventually going to find out the truths and dark secrets of the trade once you get started, why not get to know about it earlier so one can make an informed decision.

I will be posting a list of business opportunities that palm offers. Check back here Palm Permtations http://the-ahamefulas.com/the-palm-permutation

Check out the latest on the Business of Palm Kernel in Nigeria

THE BUSINESS OF PALM KERNEL IN NIGERIA

Palm Kernel in Nigeria is where most farmers make Millions silently.

If you are Nigerian an usually went home to the village during the Christmas.

At one point in time or another, you would have done this before.

Though it was a tough process trying to get the kernel out of the shell, it’s gradually becoming an easy and very lucrative business.

One that pays thousands of Naira per each ton.

Hi Karl

Nice one, currently i am looking for a palm kernel seller or agent who stays in and around lagos. i.e Lagos, lagos ibadan, ogun area.

Know anyone and how much are they selling per ton

So I have been conducting a research on how countries like Malaysia and Indonesia convert Palm Oil into transparent cooking oil.

Turns out the process is fairly easy, but it can be a bit capital intensive.

Hopefully when I am done, I will present a way to actually get it don't cheaper

Heard NBS Nigeria Bureau of statistics just concluded a poll on Oil Palm industry.

It seem there has been a large raise in the number of Palm Kernel Oil producers in Nigeria, as more and more individuals are going into the business of Palm Kernel Oil.

But is there actually enough Palm Kernel Nuts available to meet the demand?

Happy Democracy holidays
