Discover the hidden secret of making millions from ginger

 Discover the hidden secret of making millions from ginger.

Everyone in the Ginger value chain industry had a reason to smile or laugh all the way to the bank. The 2015/2016 Ginger season ended on a very good note. The Price of dry split ginger open in October 2015 at N350,000 per ton and close in April 2016 at N650,000. You can imagine the happiness in the face and account of the farmers and all stakeholder in ginger business.   

Few weeks to go, the ginger season for 2016 / 2017 season would make a grand entrance. From a personal point of view, I think that the prices will soar higher than last season. So how does an entrepreneur ( investor) position himself to take an advantage of this industry?

Ginger process starts from planting to harvesting and then to export or industrial uses, the more value  attached to the chain, the higher the prices it commands. Fresh Ginger is cheap compared to dry split ginger .  Presently fresh ginger  goes for N195,000 per ton while dry split ginger goes for N550,000 per ton. The difference  is because the is no value added to the fresh ginger after harvesting. One of the ways to make money from this business if you are not a farmer is to buy fresh ginger and process into dry split ginger.

Let check the maths using a ton of fresh ginger  as a case study .

Price of a ton of Fresh Ginger=====N   195,000

logistic                                       ======N  10,000

Processing                               ====== N   25,000

Bagging and labour               =======N  10,000

Total Cost                               ======= N240,000

Price of one ton of dry split ginger       N550,000

Profit                                                        N310,000

(bear in mind that these prices are volatile(could change any time )

So if you didn’t farm Ginger the easiest way to tap into this is to get the fresh Ginger at the start of the season and process into dry split ginger and make over 120 percent returns on Investment .

Bear in mind that at times prices(ginger) soar higher than a supersonic jet and could fall faster than gravity, so please do your due diligence before you invest.

Cows for hire

 

What comes to your mind when you see these Fulani herdsmen with their herds of cattle roaming about?  Let me guess, cattle rustlers, trouble markers a whole lot of bad sentiment attach to this guys, (I wouldn’t blame you if you think in this direction). I don’t see that negativity (you wouldn’t blame me ofcourse) but  I see money scattering around with  no sense of direction on the part of the individuals involve and the government of that state.

If the Individuals that own these cattle could explore the economic  opportunities  that are inherent in these business then there would be on their way to creating job opportunities for the  unemployed Nigerian youths. The state government on the other hand also has various opportunities that it can tap from this Fulani herdsmen business.

According to 2011 agricultural sample survey announced by   the minister of Agriculture  Nigeria had 19.5 million cows. An average cow takes in 30-40 gallons of water every day and consumes 20-30 kg of  fodder every day. Now assumes a state government states up a ranch that herdsmen would have to stay for their cows to be feed. Guess how many people would be employed in that ranch? Bearing in mind, that a ranch will have various value chain business going on inside that ranch. There will be an abattoir, diary collection, dung collection ( useful as manure ) and the cows will power the ranch with their dung(no need for power holding)

Lagos state alone consumes over 6000 cows daily, assuming that a ranch is feeding that state with an average cow going for N150,000, it means that directly over a billion naira will be made in a day and other value chain activities. The business is open to Individual and to the government , one can even do a PPP(private public Partnership).

What will it take to feed 6000 cows that lagos state would consume, it would take manpower, food and water. The value chain create around here would spur research on the best hay for cattle, an inorganic fertilizer plant can that would use cow dung and a lot of other opportunities. Individuals can also start this project with young calves that comes in cheap and nurture them. It is important that we convert our challenges into opportunities. If you are ready to start today I have cows for hire.   

 

MAKE OVER 300% PROFIT FROM PLANTING GINGER

    

It is no longer new that the Revenue from oil has dwindle, and  this the  time for agriculture to take the front seat, as matter of fact not just  agriculture but agricultural  value chain is the way to go. The present reality leaves us with no other option than the diversification of the Nigerian economy, it is in the light of this present economic situation and the need to create other source of income that investing in ginger would be a nice alternative.

In the last three years ginger has gone to be the most price agro commodity after coca but in 2015 Ginger was more expensive than cocoa making it the most price agro commodity in the country, in  the international market ginger went from $1,500 per ton in 2011 to $5,000 per ton in 2015.   

There are a lot of opportunities in the ginger value chain. From planting to processing, exporting, logistics, extracting and a whole lot of activities. Have you ever consider investing in planting Ginger, it is hidden gold mine that most people haven’t consider except people that are from ginger producing areas 

Planting Ginger is a serious work as ginger take 8-9months to be ready for harvest, some people even leave the plant for sixteen months. But you can outsource the planting  ( paying the locals to plant for you) if the best agronomy practice are followed ginger yields 16ton to 20tons per hectare.

Locally In 2015  a ton of dried split ginger went as high as N550,000 per ton. Let consider    planting and processing of dried   split ginger on  a hectare

Cost of one hectare(leasing)                    N100,000

Seed                                                            N280,000

Land preparation                                      N100,000

Labour for planting                                      N150,000

Fertilizer/manure/chemical                      N100,000 

Labour harvesting and packaging          N80,000

Total cost of production                            N810,000

If the farmer lost 40% to  50% of the tons he harvested dues to processing he has on the average 8ton to 10tons to sell, meaning if he selling at N450,000 per ton he would have made net profit of  N3,600,000 to N4,500,000  making over 300% returns on investment. This would hold true  if the price of ginger don’t go south.

To invest in business this you must have a business plan, the must be soil analysis and of  course the market(which is readily available) . The author is experience in this and can assist.
