Have Your Own Vehicle

Egg business is more profitable in Nigeria when you make it a mobile business. The purpose of this is to make you distribute your eggs conveniently to your customers. Most shop owners usually feel too comfortable once they are seated in their shops. So they feel reluctant to go to the farms in order to pick eggs and also they consider the number of cracked eggs they will realize picking eggs directly from the farm on their own. This is why being mobile is important in the egg business.

Locate Your Target Market

Picking up eggs from farms is not a problem, your target market is what matters to you. Your target should be the highly populated environment. It could market anywhere, the mobility aspect makes you spread your distribution process all around. Once you know where and to whom to distribute your eggs, you will only need to go there directly.

To start buying and selling eggs, you must locate two or more farms depending on what capacity you want to work in, a poultry farm is where you can pick up eggs for sale. Before you can start picking eggs from farms, you must be a registered customer with the farm, and you must be consistent there, meaning you have to always pick up eggs weekly.

Other Working Tools

The basic tool needed for this business is empty crates, it could be paper crates or plastic crates. You can buy crates of 00 pieces at N10,000 or N5,000 if you choose to buy the paper crates, the total number you will need to run your business now depends on you. Note that the paper crates are more protective of your eggs, it reduces the number of cracks you will realize from transferring your eggs, and it is cheaper as well but damage more quickly than the plastic ones.

Potential Profit In Egg Distribution Business in Nigeria

In this business, you are your own boss and you will decide how much profit you want to make in a week. Depending on any size of egg you choose to buy, you will gain a profit of N100 on a crate of eggs if you sell as a whole seller but if you choose to sell as a retailer you can have a profit of N300 on a crate. If you restrict yourself to selling just 100 crates of eggs weekly, that means you will realize a profit of N10,000 weekly and this is just N40, 000 monthly.

This is how you determine your profit. Setting a target to sell 1,000 crates of eggs per week will mean you will realize  100 x 1,000 = N100,000 weekly, multiply this per month, which is a whooping sum of N400,000 profit monthly. If you deduct your monthly expenses from this amount am very sure you will still have a reasonable amount to save.

Buying and selling eggs might look odd to you but concentrate on how profitable it is and stop waiting for gainful employment in that oil and gas company that may not come until when your responsibilities are enormous. Keep yourself busy and be productive.
