Profitability in food storage

Harvest season is the season for storing as much as you want. A month or two weeks before planting and planting season itself is the perfect time to sell.

If you know the foodstuff pattern you would agree with me that so many foods that are cheap now are going to be really expensive by January. It will be in our favor if you have the opportunity to store fry-done garri now especially if you have the connection or contact to sell. Anything that is surplus and cheap now, It will shock you at how high the price will peak. You can re-bag in different sizes of bags (different bags for different States) against January.

In January, yam is up for storage (Paper yam type).In March, you can start selling the yam gradually or cut and dry them to sell as yam flour by June.

In April/May, red oil is up for storage to be sold from November. In June, in some places, plantain: unripe is cut and dried to be sold as plantain flour when plantain becomes expensive from December to March the following year.

In July, Egusi is beginning to come up for storage to be sold from January/February the following year (for us that started buying in September). In August, onions is up for storage. To be sold in December.

In October and November, corn and rice are up for storage from February, corn and rice are up for storage from February the following year. In December, gin, beans, garri, soya beans, bambara nuts (okpa seed) are up for storage to be sold from March/April the following year.

If you read through carefully, you would understand that the period they are up for storage is their harvest season, and the period they are up for sale is the planting season.

Note: that these two seasons vary from State to State and are determined by soil nutrients. This write up is to tell you to store either of the ones I mentioned for December storage. Or buy few bags of all of them.
