In Nigeria, poultry business is an immensely profitable one for any entrepreneur to venture into. But while growing chickens can be a very lucrative investment, venturing into the distribution and supply of eggs to buyers is a lucrative segment of the poultry business for anyone to start up a profitable enterprise in.

A lot of people do not believe that there is very huge business opportunity in connecting egg buyers and egg sellers. Many poultry farmers who produce eggs on their farms do not have much time to market in a bid to reach out to potential buyers because of the task of managing the farm. This burden is taken off by egg distributors who come into poultry farms to purchase crates of eggs at reduced price and sell to market men and women (who retails to end consumers) at a profit.

Eggs are largely consumed by a wide range of people and organisations in Nigeria ranging from restaurants, hotels, boarding schools, events, families, and individuals. It is even more interesting to know that in the production of most confectioneries, eggs are used in the manufacturing process, and as such, their demand and usage in Nigeria remains astronomical.

Let’s go into the main business of the day..!

STARTING THE EGG SUPPLY BUSINESS

How do you go about the eggs supply business in Nigeria? It is simple, we have compiled some practical steps to follow. Here are they:

STEP ONE. IDENTIFY YOUR TARGET MARKET
The truth is sourcing for eggs is not a problem. You may even have your own poultry where you pick eggs from. However, what is very important is to identify/locate your target market. Who are you selling to? Or who is buying from you?

As long as egg is concerned, its target market is very large and demand is always on the increase. The good thing is, there are so many outlets where you can market your product (eggs). Places like restaurants, hotels, school hostels, canteens, baking factories, boarding schools, open markets etc. Meet them one on one and offer to be their egg supplier with mouth-watering benefits attached.

Once you have an agreement with the places listed above, all you need to do is to supply them anytime they order. Knowing when next your customers will need a supply is something you must also enquire. That will keep you busy into meeting demand.

STEP TWO: SOURCE FOR A RELIABLE POULTRY FARM THAT PRODUCES LARGE EGG VOLUMES
Having located a potential market for your eggs business, the next step is to identify at least two or three farms to pick up eggs for sale. A proper survey and investigation might be needed here so as to find a farm that is consistent and reliable. You should look for farms that can give you the eggs at very affordable, reasonable and competitive prices.

The price of medium size eggs ranges from N600 to N650 per crate. Extra-large goes for N700 to N750 per crate. Other factors you might need to put into consideration before making decision are size of the eggs, colour (Brown or White), distance to market and means of transporting the eggs.



STEP THREE: RAISE ADEQUATE START-UP CAPITAL
One of the advantage of this business is that it doesn’t require much start-up capital. Although some farms may give you certain amount of crates of eggs on credit after you have been tested over time, nevertheless you will need to have your capital with you when starting egg distribution business. Your start-up capital will be used in the initial purchase of eggs from the poultry farm, purchase of crates and if possible an egg delivery van.

STEP FOUR: GET AN EGG DELIVERY VAN
Most retailers prefer distributors who would help to convey their goods (eggs) to their shop. This is because most of them are afraid of recording a high number of cracked eggs during transportation of the egg from the distributors warehouse to their shop.

Rather than having a point of sale where buyers come to purchase the eggs, it is more profitable if you make it mobile by taking it to the doorsteps of customers who buy it in large quantities. If you can afford to get a delivery van, then go ahead. If you do not have a personal van or truck, you can hire one for a start. Asides careful driving, compact arrangement of egg crates will minimize the amount of cracks.



STEP FIVE: SETUP A STORAGE FACILITY (WAREHOUSE)
Demand for eggs fluctuates. Sometimes you end up purchasing more eggs than is eventually sold. There comes the need for an egg storage facility. You’ll need to get a shop in a strategic market place where it will be easily accessible for your customer as this will give your egg marketing business the needed exposure.


STEP SIX: PURCHASE OTHER WORKING TOOLS (CRATES)
This can be paper or plastic crates. It is advisable to purchase the paper crates because it is more protective and reduced the number of cracks from egg transportation. Paper crates are also cheaper than plastic crates. It, however, gets damaged quickly than plastic ones. The total number of the crates you'll need however depends on the volume or quantity of eggs you are distributing to your customers.



STEP SEVEN: GET A COMPLIMENTARY CARD
You need to have a professional looking business card, with your contact details and address clearly printed. Issuing a complimentary card to your potential customers is a good way to help them patronize your product. You never can tell who else might get in contact with your card. One card can get to more than one individuals.

STEP EIGHT: HIRE EMPLOYEES
You cannot be the one driving and at the same picking up eggs from the farms, supplying eggs to the customers and all other things involved. You will need to employ one or two persons to help you out which leaves you to do much of supervision. This will inject efficiency to your work and ensure quick delivery of eggs to customers.

COST OF STARTING THIS BUSINESS
About 80% or more of your capital will be used to acquire an egg delivery van. Once you get that out-of-the-way, then getting the eggs with N70, 000 will be reasonable. As you go, you grow bigger into the egg supply business thereby realizing your start-up capital within a short period. No matter how small your finance is, you can start-up something. We believe in start small and end big.

Wish you all the best in your business career.

650 Naira egg. Where? Anyone that wants to do egg business should check well for freshness before buying. Never accept eggs in the crates the farmer gives them to you. You must inspect each egg you want to buy. When you gain trust, you can then be buying without inspection.

Come and work, you decided to be pressing breast.

I Want The Best For Her But She Seems Not To Understand, Pls Advice Needed

Dear All, good evening.

When I first met my woman, I met her decently dressed, since she is from a Christian background, likewise my very self.

But as time goes on I discovered she puts on dresses that are either too tight or too short. I have corrected her in love several times and even reported to her parents, she adjusted for a while and continued again.

She even promised to stop such dresses because of our baby girl.

This time around she put on a very short gown that makes her look like a prostitute on her WhatsApp profile.

On seeing it, I replied that I am ashamed and disappointed in her and as a result I refuse giving her the money she demanded.

She knows why I was angry and why i made such comment and instead of her to apologize she told her mother that I said I was ashamed and disappointed in her, her mother called me to ask me why I said such, I explained to her that its because I have been correcting her on her dressing but this one was too bad, she said OK and that's all.

Its over 5 days now I have not heard any thing from her and her mum. So I just kept silent too because the last that happened I was the one that called for a meeting with her parents to sort it out.

This time around I may not do such again.

However, if there is a better way you can advise me on this I will appreciate. Since her dad may not be in the know.

Thanks

You impregnated someone without marriage and you are now saying she dresses like a prostitute. Just leave her to enjoy her life. If she was so good would she have given you a baby girl without being your wife?

When dem say make una read rules and regulations na where signature dey una go dey find. Yeye man

If one does not fear God these politicians can make you do anything. That guy was probably offered like 10 million Naira to sell his conscience

They can then bag the edge, there will certainly not be any collapse and it makes it easy to enta the pond for them

Nairaland is making my horizontal, vertical, horizontal, vertical line to be a single straight line

I understand what you are explaining. It's exactly what I'm thinking

amamahdaniel:
PDP WINNING KANO. IT'S SIMPLY MEAN, IF ATIKU DID NOT GET HIS MANDATE. HE WILL BE PRESIDENT 2023.

FACT.

APC has fulfilled it's core purpose and it will die a natural death by 2023. They think Buhari will run around and support a Southerner against Atiku in 2023. Big jokers. It's Arewa 1st. Any other Nigerian is just another almajiri.

greggng:
For this yeye country? Till date those that killed funsho Williams, bola Ige,etc are still at large

They are not at large, they are living large

Chikpat:
Historh aint changing any jack!!!

Its a shame people want Atiku to be president of Nigeria

It's a bigger shame you don't respect people's opinion

Is it your money?

We are now waiting to lime and stock next week. Stay tuned.

Is there no danger in not lining the walls completely with sand bags?

grandstar:
Candlewax actually asked a very good question? Many can be on death row for up to 20years. Before the death sentence is carried out, the governor has to sign it and most apparently are reluctant too. At least that's what I hear.

You sabi

candlewax:
how many condemned criminals are actually executed

State governors refuse to sign the documents needed for the hangmen to proceed with the execution. That is a very big problem.

Nigerians needs a better forum. How is the death of a governor's brother FP material?

These vehicles are better than those used by our soldiers in Borno

More buses on already congested roads. Brilliant idea

But nothing indicated that he was a pastor or that he was praying. Blogger eh!

Thank you o

That looks like a grief stricken man in pains

Timinho23:
Everyone knows he is eyeing 2023 presidency... What better way to show serious interest than having your region in your kitty?

Even if PDP fields an old Atiku in 2023, he will flog Tinubu hands down. Any Northerner will trash Tinubu hands down.

SoaringLife01:
You saw him stealing the mace?
If you have no evidence, silence is your best weapon.

He led thugs into the senate and they stole the mace. If he did not lead them in, those people wouldn't have been allowed in.

Buhari conduct should teach some of our southern politicians some naughty lessons

Can they ever learn?
