Absolutely DPathfinder. I did reached out to you yesterday before seeing your comments this morning. I got the impression you knowledgeable about Agro business. I sent an email requesting your whatsApp contact to chat about agro business. But you ignore it. I went ahead and sent my phone number to you. But no response from you.

Seeing your hateful comments today towards others was not good. Please delete the email containing my contact.

This is somebody thread. You have to follow the rules. Respect them. You can create your own thread, where people will come and learn from you.

New unpeeled egusi igbo is expensive. Someone can make an honest mistake when quoting price. This is phone communication. You can only know the actual price when you are on ground.

Nobody has complained about their dealings with FK.

I just need guidance and advises once in a while thank you

DPathfinder:
Let me advise you here. Egusi storage is good, though for past two years it have not really gave over 30% interest. Unlike before that it can give over 100%• but this year might be different, because of security challenges in the Taraba state and late arrival of rainfall. You little help to buy ur Egusi.

chidinmae:
You said you are here to help newbies. .

DPathfinder:
Due to delay in rainfall this year, Egusi did not produce very well and people are just starting to wash their Egusi. So Mr op which market did you get Egusi for #14,000 this season? Yesterday was Adudu market, a bag of Egusi goes for 39k to 41k base on grade. Today is didiri market. Tomorrow is agwatashi. And the price is just coming down. Op you are a lazy fraudster. Go get a life

DPathfinder:
Thanks for your reply. I'm not trying to discredit you nor interfere in your business dealings. But I am the kind of person that direct people how to do it themselves. As for the security challenges in the north is not as bad as social media make it seems, and beside you are in Nasawara. Well peace

DPathfinder:
uwc bro. Which side do you base in Nasawara?

I would have love it here. You can create a thread here on how youths can make it in agro business with little cash. I will be willing to teach and share my experience with then both the good n the bad, for free. Though I don't have time, but I will create out time mostly in the night. Agro business is a do it for yourself business. It have many sector and uncountable opportunities. Just create a thread n mention me.

dondo83:

You are right about sun-drying. Sun-drying play an important role in Egusi storage. If the Egusi is not probably dried and it is stored, it will start to decay and produce white maggots that is like butterfly. Also the Egusi color will turn to ash like color.
So when you buy Egusi for storage, is better you still sundry it once or twice depending on the moisture content. And also check it from time to time, ones you notice the present of the maggots, you sundry immediately.
There are three major species of Egusi commonly available.
- The brownish yellow type. It is the best for storage, it is majorly farm in Benue and Nasarawa states. Once dried, it hardly spoil. Also the demand is higher.
- The brownish yellow type with smaller seed. Mostly farm in North East ( Taraba etc.) Is similar to the aforementioned, but the demand slightly lower. And also the price is cheaper too. And the shell is stronger than the first. Is also good for storage, reduce slightly after storage, unlike the first type that content reduction is noticeable.
- The last is the whitish strong shell type. It is stored too and is the cheapest of all. Mostly farm in Niger state axis. The demand is also high but it is more delicate to store. Make sure you sundry it very well, before storage. And once in a while, still loose the bags and sundry till harmattan.

Above all, Egusi storage like other agro produce storage is profitable. But is important to know this important points
1. Know when to buy: When the price is at least, usually during harvest.
2. Know where to buy: you don't buy goods for storage from every market. Is not advisable to buy storage from mother markets, is better you buy from daughter market. For example, in Nasawara state, people buy Egusi from Kadiroko, Adudu, agwatashi etc and take to Ayaragu to sell on the market day( every Friday), with the aim of making profit. So the price will be slightly higher in Ayaragu market.
3. The most important of all is where to store. I always advise people to keep their storage by themselves. Store it in your house or let a cheap store to avoid story that touch. Most time people sell off stored goods in their stores without telling the owner of the goods or tell stories that their store was rob. Last year Nov/Dec a bag of white beans at Mutubi market Taraba state, was #19,000 by 2 week of June this year the price was #52,000. A store own sold his costumer 50 bags without informing him, and when the costumer demand for his goods, he was telling story that touches. They are still on the case, though not all store owners are like that, but to be on safe side and to have rest of mind. I will advise don't allow whoever buy your storage goods to store it for you.
