HOW TO EXPORT FOOD STUFF ABROAD

Three days ago I received an email from one MR. PAUL OGUNDANA, below is the message.
“Hello MR. SUNKANMI AFOLABI I want to commend your good work especially giving out useful guides on your website for free. I pray that God will give you more knowledge to keep the good work moving. Please sir I need your help on how to start food exportation business, have heard a lot about this business but I am afraid to fall into the hand of 419ers. I and others reading your blog shall be grateful if you can provide clear information on this.
  Thanks (PAUL OGUNDANA) 0805XXXXXXX”

Good morning friend thanks for joining me on this blog this week as I will be giving out more useful Tips on a daily basis. The message I quoted above was the one I received from Mr Paul Ogundana last weekend (sent to afolabisunkanmi@gmail.com), please permit me to keep his contact email and phone numbers anonymous.
I want to quickly correct a statement in his message, as a business minded person you should not be afraid of being a victim of 419ers or scammers, to succeed in your business you must be ready to take business risk, business owners are risk takers. I always say be wise.
    Now back to food stuff export business information or guide which ever you call it.

FOOD EXPORTATION
According to record of Nigerians living abroad at present has been estimated to be over 20 million, with majority living in South Africa, USA and UK. Though we have Nigerians all over the world, but the population figure shows that more Nigerians reside in UK and USA than other countries.
      With this high population of Nigerians and other Africans living abroad, it has provided a business opportunity to sell food stuff {AFRICA FOOD STUFF} to these people. But do you know only few food exporters are into this business by which it has made the supply of food stuff very low and can not meet the high demand from these people over there. Now you as a smart and business minded Nigerian that is ready to venture into food stuff export business, then you should consider some exportable food stuffs listed below.

HOW TO SEND YOUR FOOD STUFF AND HOW TO RECEIVE YOUR MONEY
  1. You can receive your money through bank to bank transfer {i.e. you must have a domiciliary account with any globally known Nigeria banks} Also your buyers can pay through western union and money gram.
  2. You can send by air that’s the fastest and suggested option to export your product abroad. Since it takes less hour sending by air than sending through Nipost, you can choose sending your product by air when it comes to perishable products} more so, you can send by Nipost, visit any nearest post office for further details on this. To non Nigerians please use your country postal agents.
  3. You can also choose to deal with commodities exporter companies that you know.
        
USEFUL INSTRUCTIONS
  1. To open a domiciliary account you need a current account, two referees and opening balance that depends on the bank you are dealing with, I use GTB is $100.
  2. sending through Nipost, send to individual address and  not company to avoid delay or useless interrogation
  3. If you want to go into this business as a serious investor then you should try as much as possible to register a business name or company name. {many buyers would love to deal with reputable company or business owners and not ordinary individuals}                                                                                 HELLO with the above tips, i think it is a new dawn for you.
