MAKING MILLIONS FROM SESAME SEED VALUE CHAIN



How do you become a player in sesame seed business without having millions in your account? Is it even possible? Ofcourse it is very possible to start from nothing and grow into millions even billions in the sesame seed value chain business. These are the four most vital requirements that are needed to be a player in this business.
1.   Passion
2.   Working knowledge
3.   Phone
4.   Bank account   
It is passion that first of all drive you  in this business you need to be passionate to learn about the business. The working knowledge in this business depends on which level you want to enter the business. You can’t do this business without communication, so you phone connects the bridge between your suppliers, the farmers, and other stakeholders in the business. The bank account is for your transactions and to keep your millions.  
Sesame seed is the second most sought after cash crop in Nigeria after cocoa, Nigeria is the second largest producer of sesame seed in Africa, and ranking seventh in the World. Other African countries also producer sesame seeds are Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia, Niger, mail, Kenya and  Burkina Faso. 
                
Sesame seed is highly valued for its oil which has a  very low level of cholesterol. The oil is used in production and as a preservative in canned  sardine, margarine,   corned beef and  soap. It is also used  in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Sesame seed comes in four colour  namely  clear white,  brown, gold and black.
Ninety percentage of sesame seed produced in Nigeria is exported out to different countries. However we could add more value to sesame seed apart from cleaning and exporting if as an investor extract oil from seed which sells more in the international market and the chaff used for animal feeds or as a raw material for another industrial used.
Sesame seed is produced in Benue, Taraba, Kebbi, Kano, Bauchi, Kogi, Plateau, Adamawa, Kwara, Cross-River, Ebonyi, Niger, Gombe, Katsina, Yobe, Bomo and Nassarawa States.

To make money from the sesame seed you could decide to source for the product from  any state that farms it. It means that you could decide to talk to the farmers to gather their stock for you and you pay once you see their stocks.
Secondly you could also decide to visit the cleaning mill and arrange for a buyer from there and you  get commission. For example if you get over to the milling and sesame is selling for N260,000 a ton if  sell to your suppliers for N265,000 a ton you will make a N150,000 in one trailer load of 30tons, so if you can load 10 trailers in one month that is N1,500,000 in a month.
If you have the resources or you can leverage on relationship you can supply to your buyers directly in lagos and  you make over N10,000 to N20,000 per ton thereby  making N300,000 to N600,000 per trailer.
Since the world is a global village you could connect with international buyer around the world through the internet and export directly without going to sell in lagos.
This might be your blue print to success

There is a high rate of consumption of eggs and chicken and that is a sector that can be exploited. Poultry farmers can’t do without feeding their chicken timely, because it is an asset that lay the golden egg. The market for poultry feed is large and waiting.
An entrepreneur can venture into feed production even when you don’t have a factory of your own. As a matter of fact this should a testing ground for your business. So how do you get started?
First Stage : KNOWLEDGE: Knowledge is very important in this business, without it, your is continuity in the business is threaten. First of all you must have a proven feed formula that has been tested and it is sure that it can answer to the farmers need. If you don’t have you can buy, yes I say buy from the millers, feed production company, consulting companies. The will sell to you, you just need to know how to negotiate and get what you want.
Second step: MARKETING: you need to find poultry farmers who are ready to buy your feed. It is vital that you find buyers (poultry farmers) first before you go in to production. Failure to do so would amount to tying down your capital.
Third Stage: MILLING: with your proven formula, get the basic raw materials that are needed and proceed to the millers, you can struck an understanding with them and they will always mill for you anything you show up. The milling will be done according to your formula. Your need to be very observant at this stage and be present when milling is done to make sure that your formula is strictly adhere to .
Fourth stage: BRANDING: there are companies that will brand your sack for you, because this help you build a brand early, even without have your own factory, so if you poultry feeds is quite good and demand is rising there is need to protect your brand .

There is always days of little beginning, if your proven formula is actually genuine and it is resulting in increase in demand of your feed then you will be getting your machines in place. it is a business that you can start with outsourcing production and then you build your structure . You can even start with the buyers funds.
