Hi all.

I noticed that as a plan kernel supplier. We tend to make it hard for buyers to locate us.

We always tend to work with our margin of supply, that is we supply to the few companies we know.

For some of us, those companies can be as few as 2-3.

I believe it's time we expand our horizon and get notices by more people both locally and internationally.

That said.

I believe we now need a post in the agricultural section that shows a list of palm kernel suppliers by location and state in Nigeria.

Let me start by putting mind first

twinskenny:



saw it on my facebook page.. was amaze!!! can anyone do this in Naija?

That's exactly the reason I asked the question.

I saw it on my Facebook and had to find out if anyone does it here.

But from what I am hearing, it sounds really more expensive than tiling

jeftalene:
This painting is called Epoxy flooring with stencil design.
Its generally cheaper than tiling and it has better resistance to moisture penetration, highly suitable for areas proned to water (I.e. waterlogged areas).

Thanks Jeftalene
Said I was gonna call, but just to ask. How much would it cost to do that red design in the picture for a20X20 room.

I recently came across some amazing pictures.

Pictures of floors painted with exquisite designs using acrylic paints.

See pictures below.

I really want to ask, how do much would it cost to do a 20X20 room.

Or

What type and quantity of the paint will be needed to do the same room, if I decide to do it by myself.

Or

Is it cheaper to just tile.

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.

Hello my enterpreneurs/trade instructors.
May Jehovah-God help you all in your endavours to find something worthwhile doing to feed yourselves and then later pass on to your progenies. May Jehovah also help you in your open heartedness about coaching others in it.

Please I'm interested in venturing into palm kernel production.


CC: Brainromel

Karlxavier.

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

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

adexomuo:
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.

Hi OP, I really appreciate your contributions towards showing us the secrets of the silent wealth. My questions are; am a working class guy based in lag, but I have a capital invest. Please advise me on how to go about the above u v stated above. Pm@ bayoakintola2011@gmail.com

Hi bayo

That's the whole focus of my blog.

I will try as much as possible to present all the details you need to get started.

Brian

karlxavier:
Their are ways you have to be careful when choosing how to buy your kernel. Their is handpicked kernel and their is waterwash kind of kernel. The latter has some water content in it that makes it cheaper when supplying it to a company while handpicked is a bit expensive cos it doesn't have any water content in it. So, when buying your kernel, go for handpicked cos it better and it produces more oil than the waterwash

Well said Karl.

The problem with finding hand picked kernels, they tend to only come from some parts of ed state and awka Ibom, cross river state.

There the people tend to have the patience to hand crank so many.

While most other starts, water wash or machine crack the kernel. Which when using crude machines give you more shells and more breakages.

You can differentiate machine cracked water washed from hand cracked, by color. Water washed tend to leave the kernel darker in color than hand cracks brownish color.

Brian

white12k:
Thanks. is it true that not all palm kernel nut is good for palm kernel oil production? look forward to you response.

So true dear.

Brian

karlxavier:
Good day all, I intend setting up a Palm kernel processing factory in imo state here. Here in imo, we have Palm kernel In abundance and it's a very profitable business to set up the business right here(somewhere close to the raw materials). What am looking for is a partner cos the minimum funds used in setting it up on a medium way is 2million naira. For any interested investor, I can send him the business plan of the business. It is a business that when you set it up, you can be making between 500,000 naira to 1.2million naira monthly when you got your eyes open very well. I have studied and gone for the training and it's just for me to set it up and I only have half of this capital. One can choose to invest more and reap more. It has a ready made market as you don't look for where to see your produce. You could also choose to invest more if the investor wants to earn more. My email is karlxavierkarl@gmail.com. Phone number is 07035769754.

Hi Karlxavier

It's a nice one that you are setting up a processing factory in imo state.

What area are you going into

Crude Palm Oil(CPO)
Crude Palm Kernel oil(CPKO)
Olein
Stearin
Or refined Bleach and Deodorised Palm oil or kernel oil
RBD.

Currently the demand for olein and stearin exports have gone up, while that for CPO has gone way down.

So before you start really do your research on where the markets at.

Another area you might want to focus on, is raising capital by yourself before you talk to an investor.

The usually like to hear two things.

1. How much have you personally invested
2. That you have already started

Good luck on your hunt for investors.

Brian
