Investing in palm oil plantation

Palm oil is native to West Africa. Nigeria used to be the world’s largest producer of oil palm before the oil boom era, but Malaysia has now taken the leading position. Oil palm plantation and allied industries is now the main stay of the Malaysian economy.
When the fruit is processed, however, the residue obtained can be used as fuel (for cooking and fertilizer to improve soil nutrient).

Red palm oil is used in cooking, making soap, candle and margarine. Palm kernel oil can be extracted from the nut, while the residue obtainable in the process of palm kernel oil extraction, otherwise called palm kernel cake, is used as livestock feed.

Palm kernel oil is used in vegetable oil and soap making, and the shells are useful as energy source. The uses to which oil palm can be made seem non-exhaustive. This clearly indicates that investment made in the establishment of oil palm plantation is nothing but a wise one.

The market is guaranteed for all the products of oil palm plantation in this era of global food crisis.

Technical information
To establish palm oil plantation, involves getting a good site where rich, well-drained acidic soils are abundant. The soil should have adequate quantities of potassium, magnesium and nitrogen. Soil tests should therefore be carried out to determine the nutrient status of the land. It is usually better to use the early maturing variety called ‘tenera,’ which bears fruits as from the fourth year.

Other requirements include seedlings procurement, which can be obtained from reputable nurseries. Prospective investors must engage the services of agricultural experts in the course of establishing this project.

Other cultural practices are planting, regular weeding, pruning and fertilizer application.

Financial aspect
We are recommending 50 hectares for a start. 20 hectares oil palm plantation can conveniently service a palm oil mill that will be established by the owner when the plantation starts to bring fruit. To establish 50 hectares of plantation, the sum of N10, 500,000 will be required and this is broken down as follows:

Pre-investments : N300, 000
Land acquisition N4, 000,000
Land clearing/
preparation : N3, 000,000
Seedlings procurement \
120/ha(2400
@ N500): N1, 200,000
Other cultural practices
@N100, 000/ha : N2, 000,000
Total N10, 500,000

Income analysis
A mature plantation will start to give an investor five tons of red palm oil annually from the fourth year per hectare. 100 metric tons of oil can be obtained annually from 20 hectares of plantation.

A ton of red palm oil is a minimum of N150, 000, while gross revenue of N15 million is obtained from red palm oil.

We can also get three metric tons of palm kernels per hectare, which gives us 60 tons from 20 hectares. This translates to annual income of N4.2 million. Total income realisable is about N19.2 million, while the annual operating expense is put at N5.8 million.

This leaves us with net income of N13.4 million annually for the investor for the rest of his/her life. Serious-minded investors can be assisted in realising this worthwhile investment.

Reap rewards by investing in cocoa plantation

Cocoa was first introduced to Nigeria in 1874. Thereafter, the country became one of the world producers of cocoa from 1904.

In 1960, it became the second largest producer after Ghana, producing about 200,000 metric tons on annual basis.

Moreover, most of the developmental projects in the western region of the country were financed from cocoa income by the then western region government. However, the decline in production started with the advent of crude oil, when most plantations were abandoned.

Thus more than ever before, there is the need to revitalise cocoa production in Nigeria because of the dwindling oil income. Not only this, there is the need to diversify the economy to create jobs and income opportunities in the face of the global financial meltdown, and inability of getting income from oil to create jobs and wealth for majority of the people.

Cocoa is one of the most exportable crops in Nigeria, which can readily generate export earning to the people. It is also an investment that will outlive the owner, and the implication of this is that an investor in cocoa plantation will reap the rewards for the rest of his/her life.

The uses of cocoa are many. These include among others cocoa butter, cake and liquor. Cocoa products are used for beverage production and cosmetics, while its bye-products can also be used as organic fertiliser and feed for ruminant animals. So far, from cocoa pod, only the cocoa beans are economically used.
The cocoa husk and cocoa sweetens have been proved to be capable of a number of industrial processes, such as the use of the husk in livestock feed and soap making, and that of sweeteners in manufacturing of jellies, jams, food ingredients, wines, sugary solution, etc.

Requirements
The number one requirement is a large expanse of land where the soil is deep, fertile, well aerated and loamy in nature.

Another is the source of seedlings procurement, which is also very important. Alternatively, nursery may be prepared separately whenever the seed are pre-lanted before transplanting them to the field. It can be grown either from seeds or vegetative breeding, but commercial plantings are mainly grown from seeds.

Other requirements are black polythene bags, farm implements, shading materials, wind breakers, abundant labour, chemicals (fungicide, insecticides, etc.), processing implements, qualified personnel, some growth hormones, and drying facilities.

Market potential/project justification
Considering the benefits of cocoa today, its demand is fast rising and prices even getting better.

It is a good source of foreign exchange also for the investor and the country. For some time now, cocoa farmers in Nigeria have been smiling due to the boost in non-oil export, which was as a result of the abolition of cocoa board by the Federal Government.

However, the demand for cocoa beans in the country for both export and domestic uses is in the excess of the supply. Moreover, the ton of cocoa bean is now selling at 400 percent of the price some years back.

The recent deregulation of the economy by the government has further more made cocoa production to gain tremendous popularity because of boost given to the non-oils exports.

Thus a lot of abandoned cocoa plantations located in some parts of Oyo, Ondo, and Ekiti states have been re-activated by their owners. Suddenly, cocoa production is being seen as one of the major sources to earn foreign currency.

In view of the above, it has been identified that establishment of cocoa plantation is one of the investment opportunities for Nigerian investors. Not only because of its foreign exchange potential, but due to the fact that it will stand as life investment for its owners.

This project is strongly recommended for consideration by investors, investment houses and profit-conscious companies, including governments, to create jobs and income for the nation’s youths.

Projected revenue
A well-maintained cocoa plantation will yield a minimum of two tons of dry seed per hectare per year starting from the fourth year, which translates to 20 tons for 10 hectares.

The current selling price of cocoa is N350, 000 (minimum per ton). An annual income of N7 million can be generated from this project, with operating expenses put at N1.5 million per annum.
Investors will be making over N5 million annually from the fourth year for life, while serious-minded investors can be assisted in the actualisation of this project.

How to set up a quarry

Nigeria is a blessed country but it is currently suffering from resource curse. The human and natural resources in the country are quite enormous and are capable of making Nigeria the greatest in the world.
However, we have been unable to harness our resources in order to achieve greatness. Therefore, the establishment of a quarry plant is one of the projects that will readily utilise our otherwise idle human and natural resources.


Nigeria is a blessed country but it is currently suffering from resource curse. The human and natural resources in the country are quite enormous and are capable of making Nigeria the greatest in the world.

However, we have been unable to harness our resources in order to achieve greatness. Therefore, the establishment of a quarry plant is one of the projects that will readily utilise our otherwise idle human and natural resources.

Setting up a quarry plant is like injection into the real (productive) sector of the economy. The real sector development guarantees employment and income generation, and are ingredients needed for economic development of the country.

Employment generation will lead to reduction in social vices and improve both the per capita income of Nigerians; in addition, this will improve both the national and gross domestic income, as well as improvement in the marginal propensity to consume, thereby stimulating demand and the economy in general.
Products from the quarry are very vital in the building and road construction industry, and even outside the country. Demand for quarry products, consisting of granite chips of various sizes and quarry dust, is very high.

You also have construction companies paying in advance for established quarry company.

Quarry sites are numerous in Nigeria. You can hardly travel 100 kilometres without seeing massive rocks waiting to be tapped. In this regard, the raw materials are readily available.

Technical information
To establish a quarry plant, you need to procure a site (where you have massive rock deposit). You need to do the analysis of the rock deposit to ascertain the quality of rock deposits.

Application for quarry lease/licence is then made to the appropriate Federal Ministry (Mines and Power).

On obtaining the quarry lease, site development follows. This is comprised of site office and installation of the quarry plant. Procurement of utility items such as generator and project vehicles are also very vital.

The project can also be established by existing construction companies as a way of diversifying and ensuring raw materials availability for their activities. Serious-mined investors can be assisted in the development of this project, including all the above stated implementation procedures.

Financial implication
To establish the plant, a sum N139 million will be needed and its broken down as follows:

N
1. Pre-investment : 2,000,000
2. Site acquisition : 5,000,000
3. Approvals : 2,000,000
4. Plant & machinery : 80,000,000
5. Utility : 20,000,000
6. Working
capital/others : 10,000,000
TOTAL : N139, 000,000

The project can be established by the federal/state governments to aid the repair and construction of roads.
Construction companies can also establish this project as a way of diversifying, while banks will also be ready to assist well-packaged prospective investors. Serious-minded investors can be packaged to meet bank’s requirement.

Profitability
The plant has an output of 300,000 metric tons per annum. This translates to an annual turnover of over N450 million. 50 percent profit margin has been computed. This gives as annual net income of N225 million, which is no doubt, a solid investment.
