A lot been said and done under a palm tree.
Some of us grew up around them without any knowledge of the gold mine we took for granted. You might ask, what gold mine? Oh just a N57 Billion industry that keeps waxing strong year in year out.
A business that produces things like our beloved Gbanga soup, palm oil for our others soups, palm kernel oil for our soaps and creams. And a list of other stuff. From animals feeds, to roofing materials and the latest, brake pads.
Don’t blame yourself, even I didn’t know also.
It took a crazy ass decision on my part and the massive help of an uncle, for me to give up the city life and a job as a sales executive in Standard Alliance in 2008. To head back to the village, just to understand this “Old Men’s Business” as they called it then.
And boy was it an eye opener.
In two months, i made over 3 million naira supplying palm kernel , with an initial start-up capital of N684,000. Thus how the Palm Permutations began, making me ask myself, no wonder its call “old man’s business”.
Some of you know what I am talking about. You grew up with your grandfather or aunty or uncle, who owned large expanse land with a palm plantation, as far as the eyes could see. But of late, everyone else has moved off to the big city. Once a year you head back home, only to use the trees as shade or a lovers spot.
Dude like seriously, that part of a N57 Billion business you are letting go to waste.
So what should you do?
What if I were to take by hand literally and show you what business you can do with the below mentioned palm products.
· Palm oil (Red oil)
· Palm kernel oil
From Planting, harvesting, milling and supplying of palm oil, palm kernel palm oil to markets and companies around the country from Lagos to Port harcourt.
I will show you how you can get started in these areas
· Palm oil production and supply
· Palm Kernel production and supply
· Palm kernel oil production and supply
· What to do with kernel shells and Chaff.
· How you can make money on each
· The places to go for the products
· Which times of the year is best to do business,
· Which companies to supply your product.
· Plus where to find an export market for your product.
About now you are wondering. Why in the hell would he be doing this?
The Reason Behind the Palm Permutations
My reasons, I have had a lot of calls over the years from people asking me about how I got started where I supplied to where I got my products. In each case I have given them the details without asking for a penny.
The Palm Permutations is my way of putting it all out there so people can easily get at the information they need rather than always calling me about it.
Secondly, a lot of other people tend to be cryptic, about giving information about this business. They tend to ask you to pays a sum or the other. Heck, you are eventually going to find out the truths and dark secrets of the trade once you get started, why not get to know about it earlier so one can make an informed decision.
Using the blog of the Palm Permutations, i will be posting a list of business opportunities that palm offers. Check back here from time to time.
Plus if you have a question about an area I haven’t covered or you would wish me to cover, please drop it in the comment section below.

If you would want our list of companies you that purchase Palm Kernel and Palm Kernel Oil.
Just add you details to the form below
Names of companies that buy palm kernel and oil
Hi Chidi, sorry this took a while, iI have not been around.
I will soon publish a list of companies that you can supply to.
Hopefully it will help you in making a decision on where to supply.
I want to start transporting palm oil from my village to lagos,I’m thinking of geting a shop and giving it a nice packaging and sell it to prospective customer!..hw do I get started .
Hi Akinola, your concept is a nice one.
First off before you start, look at the logistic cost of trying to move one drum of palm oil from your village to Lagos. Do it way all the way to finally selling it in Lagos.
Then ask people in haulage business around your village, how much it will cost to haul load from villa to Lagos.
If you can achieve it small then you can go big time. Because doing it small and achieving success will validated your need to do it large scale.
I think this business is good.I look forward to know how I can do this business successfully.
Thanks.
Thanks Vincent, hopefully iI an provide all the details you need to get you started and on your way to success.

I will update a post for a general list of companies available who you can supply.

Gud day Sir, I hv bin waiting for d post, am so much interested to join dis biz. are there companies that export kernel shells within ph I can supply?
@Brian, pls how much does a ton of uncracked palm kernel cost. Thanks in anticipation
Hi Chikezie
I will have to verify that, as i usually buy from the mills or people who have already cracked for sale. to get the quantities you want on uncracked Palm Kernel, you might have to go to very large mills or plantations.
Brian
Oooh! The thing is that I am lucky to be where we have this thing in abundance and it is being thrown away after extracting the palm oil. Though I am still a student but will want to go into this. A man which I met in an agric seminar wants me to be sourcing for it[in Abia state] and send to him in Ogun state. My challenge now is that I don’t know much about the business. I told him that I can send it uncracked cos I don’t have the money to crack it myself before sending it. He has asked me how much that I will use to sell the uncracked palm kernel to him, but I haven’t given him an answer because I don’t know how much it is per ton. I haven’t ask him to fix the prize which may result in setting a small price. This is why I want to seek your advice on this cos I want to use this as a start-up to gather experience with you as my mentor before I go into it fully.
Thank you very much.
Hi Chikezie
You seek to be in a unique position, before you agree to send to him. check the quantity that is currently available around you in abia state, check how many tons you can get for him per week or for others per week. I will check on price for uncracked for you.
Brian

Good day Brian. You are doing a great job. I have been doing this Palm oil business in a small scale and intend to go into both palm oil and other associated areas on a larger scale (I inherited a large palm tree plantation). I will be grateful if you can give me some useful advises
Esteemed regards.
I was referred to this site yesterday and I must confess I am impressed. I did , in two instalments June 2018 and May 2019 planted my 30 acres land with oil palm siblings I bought from Presco oil.. In preparation for harvesting in the next two years, I am thinking of setting up a production mill by mid 2021. I wonder what role you can play to ensure successful take off of the mill.
