This is a thread that I would be updating from time to time as I get more inspiration , idea and knowledge .


Note that I am not a consultant, just one who has always been fascinated with stories of Industrialization and how International Business start, stat growing , continue to grow and keep thriving.

1. JAM/ MARMALADE
My mum read catering and she used to make JAM for us whilst growing up.
We have the fruits to be a mega manufacturing jam nation or just a small or medium artisan jam or marmalade manufacturing unit.

Suggested fruits that can be used to make jam or marmalade; Mango, Agbalumo,Lemon Oranges,Grapefruits, Pineapples are some of the fruits that come to mind readily.

2. DAIRY FARMING
This one is worth hyperventilating about because possibilities are endless!!!!!!
Milk production, butter, cheese and buttermilk are what many French and British families have being into for decades and centuries.

Butter processed from milk is a delight to watch. Just churn continuously and voila, butter appears quite literally.

Produce from Dairy Farming include the following;


milk
butter
cheese
yogurt
cream (heavy cream, sour cream, etc)
ice cream
whey
casein

3. CANNED FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
All those wasted fruits seen in markets could be canned for profits.
Whole tomatoes , peppers, cucumbers (pickled) are some products that can be canned.

4.WINES
I attended a seminar years ago and learnt that anything with sugar can be made into alcohol. Wine is alcoholic right?
What comes to mind? Pineapple , Mango, Soursop.

Jos should be able to grow grapes... . I think 🤔

5. MEAT
Watching any American Cooking shows and you will realize that they love meat more than Nigerians and have a fantastic Meat Industry.
Processed Meats Manufacturing is endless!




Other items which contain beef byproducts are insulin, dog food, rawhide bones, laundry pre-treatment, bone china, toilet paper (to make it soft), glue, dish soap, candles, film, crayons, paintbrushes, printing ink, nail polish remover, deodorants, antifreeze, hydraulic brake fluid, car wax, highways, tires.

6. CHOCOLATES
There are a number of small chocolates manufacturers here in Nigeria but the numbers need to go HIGHER!!!

All that is needed to produce all sorts if chocolates we have them here; cocoa powder Sugar, honey, coconut, Sesame. seeds, groundnuts, cashew nuts, cocoa butter

7. SKINCARE

Forget all the flack Skincare has been getting in Nigeria, not all are wrecking skins.
We can produce and are already producing body lotions, fave serums, toners, face wash, body wash etc.



The containers of body lotion being imported are not better than what some of our SkinCare practitioners and producers are producing.


Skincare manufacturing is endless and definitely a long term money spinner.

8. CEREAL

The many types of cereals we can produce for breakfast cereal are endless. Millet is abundantly grown In Nigeria and we could have Millet Cereal alone or in combination with other cereal crops.


Rice Krispies with Sesame seed and baked coconuts sounds very yummy.

9. JUICES AND FRUIT CONCENTRATES

FUMMAN JUICE still remains one of the best alas it has gone down the drain.


We have many fruits that can start the bottling or cartoning of fruit juices and concentrates business.

10. ONIONS, PEPPERS, TURMERIC, GARLIC

1.Pureed combo of the above
2. Dehydrated and powdered combo
3. Marinated oils of the above.

Endless combo!

11. FASHION ACCESSORIES
Clothes,bags, purses are what we can look into producing. Femi Handbags has been producing for decades now . Check out her Website.

I am actually researching how fashion outlets in Nigeria operate and sell to other countries.

Any pointers anyone?
