Exploring another business adventure: Palm oil processing business and Palm kernels sales.

Spending this year's Easter holidays in the village is a rewarding and the best decision I've ever made. The tranquility of the village was a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. But little did I know, my trip would also bring me a newfound appreciation for entrepreneurship and the rewards of hard work.

It was my mom who first told me about the lucrative business of palm oil processing and palm kernel sales. She had the experience and also witnessed friends and family members thrive in the business, and she was convinced that I could do the same. At first, I was skeptical, but my mom's enthusiasm was infectious. I decided to give it a try.

With my mom's guidance, I set out to purchase 20 bunches of palm fruits from a local farmer. The cost was reasonable, and I was eager to start the processing journey. Early in the morning today, I was ready to extract the oil from the palm fruits. The process was labor-intensive, but I was determined to see it through.

After the whole process, I got two 25 litters of oil making it 50 litters, when I sold my palm oil, I was amazed to realize a profit of 30,000 Naira from the oil alone. But that wasn't all - I also sold the palm kernels, which earned me an additional 20,000 Naira. My total profit was a staggering 50,000 Naira! (equivalent to 211.382 steem).

As I reflected on my experience, I knew that I would continue to pursue this business these period of holidays. The potential for growth and profit was enormous, and I was eager to explore it further. My trip to the village had turned out to be a blessing in disguise, introducing me to a new source of income and empowering me to take control of my financial future.
