I really appreciate this thread because it has really giving me basic knowledge of the industry. What I want this thread to touch is the selling price of the bread to distributors and the final retailers and the cost of production from the bakery. How many bread can we get from 50kg bag with each sizes of breads. Knowing this will help us to do the sales forecast and also help in preparing a good business plan for it especially for the newbies and those who will eventually want go into it whether it is profitable to venture or not.

The quantity of bread you can get from a bag of flour (50kg) depends on the size of loaf you are baking... It could vary across bakeries...

Fake prophetess...
I wonder what she would preach to her congregation...

OGUN state is HQ of sksull mining operation..

HQ of skull mining operation..

Some babes after church anointing would still go back to their boyfriends house to take another anointing.....
Christianity of our present day I don't understand...
Pastors are big time fornicators..... For security reasons I would not mention a top Pentecostal church pastor who I see messing around with women..
You see pastors living a luxury lifestyle, while some of his members can't even afford Gari to drink..

No campaign after winning election..... Madam you can take a cue from our politicians...

Lukaku is the least of United problems, he has improved since joining the club esp compared to how he was initially.
Man U need wingers and major defense training.

1st time since 2014

I agree with Paul scholes..

Lukaku is the worst striker I have ever seen wearing the United jersey.... He is not fit to be a United striker... Go and check the records of players who played as a top striker for man Utd, they were all ruthless..

I am presently working on a contract with the U.N. and can no longer run my bakery. I would like to sell off all my bakery equipment (big bread oven, 20 ltrs mixer, Large stainless working table, and big showcase chiller for just 500,000 Naira. The big showcase transparent chiller only goes for a hundred thousand Naira. This is a bakery I set up with about 7 million Naira in the year 2014. Interested buyers should send me a p.m.

I have a mixer.. How much would you sell the oven?...

The convection Oven is a delight to have when one is into commercial baking. It is a simple but effective and efficient baking method.
It simply bakes your bread faster by using a fan to circulate the heat faster and more EVENLY.

The emphasis here is evenly. The most contemporary convection oven we have in this industry is the rotary oven. This is a heavy but serious equipment that will ensure that your bread comes out wonderfully and very even. Apart from the fact that a fan is circulating the heat within the baking chamber the trays/trolley sits on a rotating spool that ensure that alls the products have the same heat exposure.

As expensive as it is, if you buy the right time it will last over twenty years and will give you immense satisfaction through efficiency. It is also a sturdy equipment and rarely breaks down. Some bakeries have used this technology continuously 24/7 for over ten years without any major damage. You can have a variety of energy sources for the oven but the best option is the dual energy source where you can combine electricity with either diesel or gas.

Why do some bakeries change the quality of bread they produce... They enter enter the market with good tasting loaves, but later they begin to produce and package "agege bread" or low quality bread..

ONNYX:
I cannot direct you here as regards where you can get locally milled flour. That would amount to unsolicited and unpaid advertisement.
I can however state clearly that there are several local flour millers in Nigeria and depending on your location you could get the ones that can meet your order requirements and specifications.

On the question of being better, I cannot say outright. Flour Milling is a simple blending process. The desired output quality is predetermined and then the blending ratio is build towards ensuring that the projected quality is attained. Please note that in as much as you can as a novice go to the local shop and request for baking or bread flour, what you will likely be given is 'general' or 'all purpose' flour.

This is the limitation in the industry. I will however bring to your notice that here in Nigeria the big brands usually have two different types of flour Hard Wheat flour which is blended for regular bread purposes and the Soft version flour which could be be blended under different tags like 'Soft biscuit' or 'Confectionery'.

May I add that when your bakery has grown significantly, you can actually have your flour type configured and blended to meet your expectations thus resulting in a totally different product from what obtains in the market. Flour is the base of the product and all other ingredients are based and calculated using flour as a base, it therefore means that if your flour quality is deficient it your product will definitely be deficient. This also brings to fore the question as regards why the market seems to me saturated with bread. Please take this as very important. It will go a long way in determining the success of your business.

When starting your bakery, the standard is to poach some bakery staff who will come and replicate the recipe and processes used by their previous employers. I am sure you know that it is most likely also that the previous employers also copied that recipe from someone else. So in a given town almost all the breads will taste the same.

This is a terrible scenario and it is an archaic red ocean strategy that only results in sharks devouring lesser amphibians and turning the ocean red. You need to adopt a blue ocean strategy in entering and remaining in the market. Yes, equipment is important but after procuring your equipment please dedicate a some amount of resources towards research and development. This is where the true difference lies.
In Abuja there is a particular bread (family sized) bread which sells at NGN 500.00 as against the regular 250-350 band. Surprisingly, some people drive around looking for this bread when they could as well buy what is nearest to them. As we speak now I know that a new distributor registered there and buys a truck load of that bread and takes it to Lokoja every afternoon.

Please emphasize the differential principle.

Thank you brother.... I am a newbie in the industry and I have decided to follow a particular standard... I really appreciate your effort in educating NAIRALANDERS on the on available opportunity in the bakery industry...
I would like to communicate more with you..

She wanted to kill herself... DRINKING A BOTTLE OF JW RED LABEL.... SMH..

ONNYX:
A lot of advancement has taken place in the baking industry. In the contemporary setting more bakeries have migrated from Firewood and Charcoal energy sources to Electricity, LPG (Propane) or Diesel.

Electricity is a very clean energy source but quite expensive in Nigeria especially when you consider the added cost of using a Three phase Diesel generator. Only established bakeries who are producing optimally can run a full electric operation. It is a very expensive option but also very reliable.
I should mention here that there are some myths that indicate that the electric oven is the best option for commercial baking because of a number of factors.

We can address this matter much later but for now let us review other energy sources.

The use of Butane or LPG is very popular especially here in Nigeria where we have a very serious challenges with power generation, transmission and distribution. The greater majority of bakers adopt the LPG version for reasons bordering on cost of operation.
Please note that the electric option is the cheapest in terms of acquisition but perhaps the most expensive in terms of operation.


Another option that has been available in recent times is the diesel powered oven.
This oven runs on a diesel burner. This is what produces the heat energy that is required to cook the bread. So diesel oil (AGO) is actually the source of energy. It is important to note that with the recent increase in the price of diesel locally resulting from the liberalization of that market the choice of this option must be considered objectively before being chosen.
I would also like to add that the diesel option is only available for the Rotary type ovens and so small starters with a small investment plan may not afford the initial outlay required to acquire this technology.

Finally, the last thing to consider when analyzing energy sources is to mention the developmental strides in technology which has birthed a dual energy oven type (again this is for heavy investors). This kind of oven is designed to use either of two energy sources; Electricity and Gas or Electricity and Diesel.

For a country like Nigeria you can already deduce the advantages. In the event of Gas or Diesel scarcity you can resort to Electricity. It can also save your day in the event where either of the equipment is bad and needs some repair, you can then resort to the other while waiting to effect the repairs.

Where can I purchase flour produced by the local flour millers?. Are they cheaper and good for bread production.

This is not fair on Nigeria....

Nigeria should be compared with Indonesia, India, Sao tome, Venuezuela... etc....

India is even better.... With there technology they built KEKE......Even borehole drilling..

There is nothing special in their meal. If you believe eating those poo is what will improve your critical thinking, then something is wrong with your brain in the first place. Mere perceiving the odour of those things makes me sick in the stomach.
If you travel to Europe or US by the time you spend a month without African food, you will fed up of their meal. Nobody will tell you before you will be looking for African kitchen.

I will prefer my Nigerian food to all these any time, any day.

The odour might not seem nice to him because it is a strange food.. Same applies with our food the Europeans and Americans don't like our food, even the aroma is a turn off.. With my experience so far the westerners really have wonderful variety of food ..
The Chinese are superb when it comes to world cuisine..

YUSUF BUHARI comes to my mind...


Carry NIGERIANS money go buy bike... Smh

Wow!!
Highly educative
