CHARCOAL EXPORT BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

Tap into the emerging market of non-oil commodity export. It is not only oil that we export in Nigeria, we export commodities. But I must tell you the truth; commodity export is untapped in Nigeria. What is happening now in Nigeria is a kind of revolution, in the sense that government is now reawakening itself to the danger of completely abandoning the non-oil sector. Presently, a lot of commodities are being exported out of Nigeria, like charcoal, Cashew Nuts, Shea Nuts, Cassava Chips, Honey, Kolanuts, Bitter Kola e.t.c which is in high demand by international buyers, but we will like to discuss CHARCOAL EXPORTATION in this report.



CHARCOAL EXPORT BUSINESS

                          
Though, one of the nation’s biggest export earner, it cost no fortune to set up and there is no shortage of market overseas. Added to this, one can run it from home. Given the right mentorship, the business is simple to start and in huge demand that anyone can make money doing it. Germany, Belgium, Greece, the Netherlands, Italy, Poland, Spain, Bulgaria and UK are substantial importers of charcoal. As charcoal is an essential commodity in Africa, it is one of the most important sources of alternative fuel across Europe. Consumption is put at eight million tons of pellets annually. The largest exporters of charcoal in the EU are Poland, France, Holland, Germany and Belgium. They buy and sell to the rest of Europe.

The volume of imported charcoal needed in Europe vary from one country to another. The total level of volume of exports from Nigeria can not satisfy the demand in the European market. Although the market is served from a number of competitive countries, exports from Nigeria, and other African countries are highly ranked because of the hard nature of the charcoal. European importers prefer charcoal produced from hardwood in Africa which is heavy and strong. Competitors are Malaysia, Indonesia, Brazil and Thailand. The quality of charcoal depends on the wood species. Companies overseas can absorb any volume, that all the companies in Nigeria cannot meet the demand of the European market.

Nigeria has vast forest area that can produce thousand of tonnes of charcoal annually. Though there are charcoal sources in Europe, most of them are made from softwood and are soft and light. Apart from that, they are bad conductors of heat and electricity, and burns without flame.

Today, there is increased usage of charcoal. Besides being the fuel that cooks steaks, hotdogs, and hamburgers, a number of companies have discovered that charcoal can be used in certain metallurgical purifying treatments and as a filter to remove organic compounds such as chlorine, gasoline, pesticides, and other toxic chemicals from water and air. Nigeria as a nation will benefit from intense activities to boost charcoal export as an economic driver and there is minimum capital needed to establish the business which will stimulate the local economy. The overhead is small and little investment is needed. If one is starting small, two equipment are needed - a scale and a moisture meter and storage area is needed near the production site.
