Make twice your capital investing in Palm oil business
During harvest, usually between March and May of every year, the prices of palm oil reach very low levels due to the abundance of the product on the market. However, during the off-peak (non-harvest) periods, when palm oil becomes scarce, the prices expectedly become very high.
This scarcity usually sets in between September and December and can see palm oil prices rise by as much as 100 percent. Palm oil scarcity and abundance cycle continues because of inadequate storage facilities to ensure an all-year round supply of red palm oil to the market.
You can buy processed palm oil in large quantities and stock them for export or sale in the local market. It is business wise to set up a stocking program that allows you to buy from the market at very cheap prices during times of abundance and sell back to the market when scarcity sets in.
