babyjay: Hi everybody,

I am new to Nairaland and I think I like what I see and read on this forum.

I would like to know if anybody is knowledgeable about the soap business in Nigeria.

I think I would like to start my own soap company soon but on a small scale and mostly household soap.

Thanks.

mr sage: Hello, I wish to recommend the following business ideas

1. Turkey farming business- A Mini Turkey Farm
This is an agric bizness with a short turnaround period. You can start
this venture with a room, bq, uncompleted building or any vacant space.
The profit margin is very handsome. Turkeys mature within a few months and
they do not smell like other poultry animals. You can recoup your
investment within 6 months with a very high profit margin.
The key areas are: Feeding, Where to get supplies of young animals, pest
control, housing etc.

2. Custard Powder Production
Custard as we all know is a fast moving food product here in Nigeria.
Start up capital is low

3. Grasscutter farming
4. Meat Delivery/Supply Business. Food related and very profitable. I can
provide more info on this concept if necessary. You can supply meat to
eateries, hotels, restaurants and individuals. You can also bring in live
cows/goats from the North and sell.
5. Soap making. Soap is a fast moving consumer product and production
process is not too complex
6. Exercise Book production
7. You can set up a small bakery and expand in future. Nigerians love bread
8. You can import shoes and other fashion accessories. I know a guy that
imports male casual shoes from the Uk and he sells to wholesale buyers in
Lagos. The rate of return is very high, quick turnover is guaranteed and
the products sell fast because it meets one of the basic needs of man -
Clothing.
9. Transportation. the recent ban on commercial motorcycles in Lagos has
thrown up a huge business opportunity for smart investors who understand
the Lagos business environment.
10. Supply of corporate gift items.
11. Small scale Printing press.
12. Game lounge.
14. Production and marketing of Cosmetics and personal care products

You can also consider:
Table water and pure water business
Export of agric commodities such as ginger, garlic, coacoa or charcoal.
Production of Toilet roll/ Tissue paper/Serviette. I'm doing a feasibility

So what can be done to increase revenue.

nopoverty: The Demand for African foodstuff in Europe and America is rising due to the increasing number of Africans, particularly Nigerians who sojourn to these Countries for better life. Do you know that even veteran exporters of Nigerian commodities are yet to access the secrets that I am about to reveal to you.There are many small exporters of foodstuff in the sub-region who depend on middlemen to export foodstuff in small quantities and sell them directly to consumers or retailers running ethnic shops in the United States of American or Europe. The volume of Nigerian export of foodstuff to these countries is still on a very small scale.
Tap into the potential of foodstuff export
It is estimated that 20 million people of Nigerian descent reside outside Nigeria, with the majority living in the United Kingdom and the United States. This is a great opportunity to sell to this category of people. My research in this business sector revealed that the few exporters of African foodstuff cannot met with the demand of Nigerians which populations are increasing everyday in US and UK.
Here are the foodstuffs that you can export to foreign Countries
Smoked fish, Gari, Beans Flour, Melon seed (Egusi Ground), Ogbono,Cassava Flour, Bitterleaf, Dried Ugu leaf:, Palmwine, Butter production. Coconut processing,Pepper,Tomato , Hibiscus flower, Yoghurt,Pap (Ogi), Ukazi leaf
,
Others are,

Hot Chilli Pepper – Ground, Kolanut, Potato, Semolina, Ginger beer, Kilishi, Soybean, Groundnut, Okra, Cassava, Yam, Honey, Snail, Bitter Kola, Ofada rice, Catfish, Shrimps, Pounded Yam Flour, Poultry, Fruit juice, Cashew, Plantain Flour, Palm Oil

What you need to start
Company registration is not important, you will need about N100,000 to N150,000 to start this business, an e-mail, a mobile phone and an account with a reputable bank here in Nigeria, You don’t need previous experience in the field but you should have a “GOOD HEAD” for organizing. You don’t need to register with the Nigeria export promotion Council (NEPC) since you will be dealing with individual.
Product Sourcing
Every exporter is strongly advised for their best financial interest to select foodstuffs which they intend to export based on accessibility and availability
Tap into the Local Market
As a new entrants you have a choice of targeting the local or foreign market, you can package any of these products in 1kg or 2kg bags with the population of over 150 million Nigerians you will definitely make a lot of money this will prepare you for the international market.
Opportunity for small investors
As a small investor you can send this product through the NIPOST, or send it by air, NIPOST have a ready a made cartons you can send up to 30kg which is up to N40,593.00. Perishable products are no allowed through the NIPOST because it takes up to five to seven working days before the products get to the UK and US receptively. But you can send perishable items by air because it takes only 8hours to get there. It is important that you send the foodstuff to an individual because if you use a company address you may need to answer a lot of questions.
Prepare a mail campaign
To every prospective buyer, write a letter introducing your companies, telling them that you have the named goods they want to buy that it meets their quality specification, that you will package according to their requirements and don’t fail to quote the selling price and Payment terms acceptable.
How new entrants can get buyers
You can get buyers by advertising your product on line, you can have a websites where you will display your product. Make use of social site like facebook.you can also register with some trade sites like Alibaba, ,tradekey and so on. You can advertise your product as a free member. It will also give you a privilege to chart with foodstuff buyers abroad.
How to identify genuine buyers
You will receive mails from intending new buyers but you will need to ask them some relevance questions like their Company registration details, phone numbers, and office address, ask them if they have an office or a relative here in Nigeria that you can deal with, you will also need to ask them to give you the list of their customers here in Nigeria, this will allow you to know how genuine and reputable they are in the foodstuff importation industry .However you need to agree on a particular payment pattern.

How to deal with responses
A lot of response will be coming from some Nigerians and Africans that operates African shops in foreign Counties, because some of them are looking for people like you to buy from, you may need to send free samples to some of them, while you make them chose the right packaging pattern for the product you are sending.
Opportunity for Nigerians who have friends and relatives in US and UK
You can send the foodstuff to friends and relatives in US and UK, they will help you sell the foodstuff and pay the money into your account in Nigeria. You don’t need to go through the rigorous of cross checking who is genuine or not, they know the terrain and they will help you sell directly to African foodstuff importers over there.
