Examples of stationery items are exercise books, notepads, box files, computer paper, photocopy paper, laser printing paper, diaries etc.
With much emphasis on education and vocational training, demand for stationery and related products has witnessed a significant increase.
In the absence of a truly self-reliant manufacturing sector, most African countries have to depend on imports to fulfill demands within their own countries and even re - export to other countries (entrepot).
African buyers may buy in bulk from suppliers in other countries like Nigeria and then re - sell in their own countries at a very healthy profit.
Academic, vocational and corporate activities will resume soon all around the world after the festive break. This is an opportunity for investors to channel their investment into the business of selling and exporting stationery.
It is a time when demand of stationery is very high, thereby, making the profits and gains from the business huge.
Moreso, the capital required to start up the business is minimal and limited risk is involved.
