One
entrepreneur who has succeeded in agro commodities business is the Chief
Executive of Alpha Oceanic Limited, Adeleye
Friday.
Adeleye,
who spoke at the agro-commodities and investment summit, organised by Sunyprofit International Limited in
Lagos, said there was a growing market demand for cassava for commercial and
industrial use.
For
instance, he said, root starch is demand by food and beverages companies. He
also noted that cassava could be used for pharmaceuticals, as well as feedstock
for the production of ethanol biofuel.
His
mantra is simple: collect produce from the farmers throughout the year, add
value through processing, and sell them at a profit. He provided a sustainable market
for farmers to sell their produce and more importantly, using up all resources
that once used to perish. Cassava processing, he further said, is among the
areas with huge potential for entrepreneurs to make good money.
Adeleye,
a proponent of small business growth, encouraged entrepreneurs to improve the
quality of their produce to better compete in the market place. He is
championing an initiative to help entrepreneurs explore business opportunities
in agriculture and connect to markets across the globe.
The
Chief Executive, Sunyprofit International Limited, Mr. Sunny Anjorin, said entrepreneurs or traders can earn good
profit through agricultural export business. He however explained that many
entrepreneurs are ill equipped to take advantage of the opportunities provided
by agricultural export trade.
According
to him, lack of capacity and the inability to meet technical produce
specifications and stringent requirements in terms of quality, safety, health
and the environment impede their integration more Nigerians into global
markets.
He
said entrepreneurs often have limited access to resources, especially
financing. This impedes their ability to scale up to meet increased demand,
proper market produce and grow their businesses.
Anjorin
said making money from exports depends on building the nations reputation for
food safety systems and quality raw materials. He stressed the need to explore
online and offline information on the right international markets for exports,
adding that reviewing available data allows entrepreneur to assess which
markets realistically fit with their overall strategic direction.
While
there are opportunities in agricultural business, he said entrepreneurs needed
an overview of the export business, registration process, payment terms,
advance payment, export incentives, custom procedure, import management and
banking and finance. (Nation)
Have you heard this? Many Nigerian exporters have been
defrauded of huge amount of money in the process of exporting commodities to
foreign countries. Do you know why? They were not trained on export operations,
management, documentations and the best methods of payment in export trade.
This is terrible!!! Nigerians cannot continue to lose money to foreigners in
the course of export business. Exporters, why don’t you get a practical manual
that teaches the stages of export trade from processing and packaging of commodities
to receipt of payment by the foreign buyers. It teaches export operations,
export management, export documentations and methods of payment in export
trade? It is a contemporary step-by-step guide to export trade. It tells all
the contemporary dynamics in export trade. To get it, click on the link below:

imagined how the financial status of your firm will be when more than 20,000

products and services or even give you very juicy deals. The link below will
