The Woods & Sawmills Supplying Industries In Nigeria
Wood and the supply of its related products is a lucrative business in Nigeria known by many people. Despite being lucrative and popular, only a few investors like to venture into it probably for some unknown reasons.
Considering the good number of thick forests with an enormous number of different kinds of woods in Nigeria finished wood supply business wouldn’t have many hurdles in terms of raw material.
However, this industry seems to have challenges of manpower and the expensive equipment for the conveyance of the woods as well as its processing.
The making of timber and other wood products such as sawmills had been an ancient business in the country but this business does not seem to retain the old names that had been into it.
This simply implies that some early investors in the timber-making business and other related wood product services seem not to be on the list of modern-day investors.
Obviously, it appears that there are hurdles this industry faces that those outside are not seeing. However, in terms of profit-making, wood finishing and supplying business can be among the top in the list of profitable businesses in Nigeria.
Though not certain, it appears this industry’s need for heavy vehicles, heavy machines for wood processing, the high number of manpower, and the modernization of buildings could be some of the challenges this industry is facing.
As it appears that modern buildings rarely use wooden doors, wooden frames, wooden windows, wooden ceilings, wooden tables, etc. except in roofing skeleton.
Meanwhile, the aluminum industry and other metal industries have rolled out certain beams that could be used for roofing skeleton, though this has not been adopted by everyone because of its high cost, some professional bodies and organizations could be seen using metal beams for roofing skeleton instead of woods.
Though the impact of the above changes in the modern buildings could not be very obvious, it appears to set less competition for the demand for wood and a possible drop in profit-making for the industry.
As an investor, starting a wood processing and finishing industry in Nigeria will not be a bad idea because there is still a good number of them that had been existing for years with expansion records.
The list below will guide you to make contact with the existing companies offering the same service so that you can obtain more information and guidance on how to go about it.
However, the list is not limited to investors alone, a merchant who desires to venture into the distribution business for woods can still use the same opportunity.
You can pick any of the companies in the list that is closer to your location and make a deal to start distributing sawmills and timbers for the end-users, which could fetch you good money if done properly.
