Some days ago, I published an article on how to make money from selling charcoal. I was not detailed in that article because I was busy
preparing an information product that I will soon be launching on this site.
So for the benefit of those who truly want to start the
charcoal selling business, please click here to read my previous article on how to make money selling charcoal before continuing with this.
There is no doubt that there are a lot of business opportunities
from selling charcoal, this is because of the various uses charcoal can be put
into. In fact exporting charcoal outside the shores of this country is a
serious money making business many people have not thought about.
HOW MUCH DO I NEED TO START THIS BUSINESS?
I believe this is the next question in your mind begging for
answers. Charcoal business can be done on a small scale or a large scale,
depending on the available capital.
You don’t need to worry your self about renting a shop or
paying for a space. You can simply use the little space in front of your house
for a start. You don’t need to worry yourself about storage, because charcoal
is not perishable and can be stored any where away from the rain to keep it
dry.
So if you intend to start this business on a small scale,
you will need a start-up capital of about N15,000 to N20,000 thousand naira.
FROM WHERE DO I SOURCE MY CHARCOAL?
In Nigeria Nigeria
1) SAKI
Local Government Area in Oyo State Ibadan
2) ITESIWAJU
Local Government Area in Oyo State Ibadan
3) ISEYIN
Local Government Area also in Oyo State
Note: if you want to buy from the producers, you have to buy
a truck load because they sell only in bulk. However, if you cannot afford to
pay for a truck load of charcoal, you can peer with two or three other buyers
to reduce the cost for you.
A bag of charcoal from the producers is sold for between
N1000 and N1300, and you can come and resell at 1550 with a gain of N250.
Assuming you sell an average of 10 bags daily, you get 2500
per week, and N75, 000 in a month. So you can agree with me that one can make
over N50, 000 per month from this business.
WHO ARE MY POTTENTIAL CUSTOMERS
Many people buy charcoal for different purposes ranging from
home use to commercial use. The charcoal market cannot be saturated because the
demand is ever increasing especially during certain seasons of the year. Below
is a list of potential buyers of charcoal.
Restaurants and bars
Fast food joints
Roadside food vendors

Local tea sellers
Bread baking industries
Bean cake sellers e.t.c
