There is an increased use of organic cream. Also a lot of Nigerian and african ladies now loves to keep their hair in it's natural form hence the need for various essential oil to keep up.
Oil business is a good business to venture into if you have a lot of young ladies around.
The popular oil we all know is the

1. Groundnut oil
2. Palm oil
3. Coconut oil.
But the truth is that these 3 oils are not even the only set of oils in the agricultural market.
Many other oils, especially the ones used for beauty and health maintenance are called essential oil.
They are usually expensive and that means more money.

Example of such oil are

9. Sesame seed oil
10. Morning oil

And many other oils.
How are oils extracted?
steam distillation and cold pressing. Steam distillation works by boiling the herbs and plants till the essential oils separate from the plant and float on the water. You can collect the oil on the surface of the water and store it in an amber glass.
The cold compress most times need a compressing machine to achieve.

You also need to note that there are oil extraction machines and you would need large quantity of these products to get considerable amounts.

One key rule of farming is patience.

If you are not patient enough don't worry you can still be in the agric business.
Yes, I said so because along the value chain there are many ways of making money but one key opportunity for those who want to venture is agro marketing.

There are many agricultural products people around you consume; you could start being a distributor.

In fact, most times I advise anyone who wants to go into farming or production to start off marketing.

That way you begin to learn some basics so when you go into your own, you would have identified the need of the customers in your niche.

For example, if you want to start a layers farm, sell eggs!
