Palm Permutations

Yes, yes, we all love our native soup that comes from the Oil Palm Tree, Banga Soup. That rich, smooth texture that goes so well with fresh fish, goat meat, and fufu... a taste that only a perfect mix of palm oil and palm kernel oil can give. But have you ever taken the time to ask: What else can we get from an Oil 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," if they have a market for it. Others will say "nothing else". The 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. A Breakdown of Palm Tree Products Crude Palm Oil (CPO) This is an oil ranging from blood-red to reddish-yellow in color, gotten from the pressed pulp of a palm oil fruit bunch. Here in Nigeria, it's usually used for cooking soups and stews, while also hol...

The process of palm oil and kernel oil extraction has been a slow and tedious process for quite a while in Nigeria. It's not tedious because of a lack of tools, but rather a lack of information about where farmers can get these tools. This list of 13 palm and kernel oil milling machine fabricators in Nigeria is made to help folks see that a palm oil or kernel oil press, be it automatic or manual, can be fabricated at low costs here in the country, as an alternative to foreign imports that cost from 2 million Naira upwards. The funny part is that these companies have been in the business of agro machine tools fabrication for quite a while.

Used in making great soups like Egusi, Ogbono, and in its raw form, Gbanga, Red oil starts its journey to your plate (and to your stomach) from a humble gathering of palm fruit bunches planted, grown, harvested, and milled in a palm plantation. That simple. I am usually surprised by how many people focus on one aspect of the N57 Billion business when there are a lot of areas where one can get involved in and make more money. Please note: this is where you need your thinking caps on. Now let’s break it down. PLANTING To make a tangible profit from growing palm trees you need a lot of land. I am not talking your measly 2 plots or 1 acre; I am talking hectares. You need at least 55 plots (10 acres or 4 Hectares) . In some areas of Ogun, Osun, and Oyo state, you can get a plot of land at 60k or lease plots at a far cheaper rate per year. Better still, if you are from the eastern part of the country, you can buy or lease large expanses of land for cheaper...

We were once the largest producers of Palm products in the world, till Malaysia humbled us with our own seeds to become the largest producer. Now we are gradually getting back to our rightful place. The palm tree provides in a lot of ways, in fact it’s one of those gifts that just keep on giving. It will surprise you the amount of useable material you can get from just one palm tree. The business opportunities are immense. Consider what can be made from a single tree: Leaves: Used to make brooms and for roofing materials (in the rural areas). Bark of the frond: Can be peeled and woven into baskets. Main Trunk: Can be split like sawn timbers and used as part of building materials. Sap: Palm wine can be obtained from the palm tree. Fresh Fruit Bunches: The source of red palm oil. Each in itself is a viable business opportunity you can key into, with just the right information. (That’s what we are here to do.)

Hello, and welcome to the blog! If you’re in the palm oil or palm kernel business in Nigeria, you know that producing a great product is only half the battle. The other, often more difficult half, is answering the big question: "Where can I find companies that Buy Palm Oil and Palm Kernel Oil?" My name is Brian Chijioke Ahamefula, and back in 2009, I ran my own business supplying palm kernel in the East of Nigeria. I learned firsthand how many producers struggle to connect with the right buyers, often falling prey to middlemen or scams.
