Palm Oil Farming business

Описание: Nice — smart question. Below I’ll give a balanced, evidence-backed run-down: the concrete reasons for investing in Assetrise’s oil-palm offering (what they claim and the structural advantages), the main risks, and a practical due-diligence checklist you can use before writing a cheque. I searched Assetrise’s own materials plus industry sources so the most important claims below are sourced.

Why you might invest in Assetrise’s oil-palm (the positives)

1. Dual-income model: land appreciation + crop income (+ intercroping).
Assetrise markets “Palmrich” (their oil-palm estate) as ownership of real estate and the recurring revenue from palm oil and by-products — so you’re not just buying land but an income-producing farm. That’s their core pitch


2. Long, steady cashflow potential from oil palm trees.
Oil palm is a perennial crop that — once mature — produces fruit for multiple decades, which can generate a steady revenue stream (typical commercial palms produce for 20–30+ years). Assetrise presents projected annual returns for their schemes (their marketing cites ₦2–3M per acre per year in some places). Treat those projections as company estimates you must verify.


3. Growing global and local demand for palm oil.
The global palm-oil market is large and projected to grow (multiple industry reports show market growth and multi-billion-dollar size), and Nigeria remains a significant consumer/producer with domestic demand for edible oils — meaning local markets exist for product. That macro demand supports long-term revenue potential for well-run plantations.


4. Vertical integration & management support (if true).
Assetrise states they provide farm management, seedlings/nursery work, and processing expertise — which matters because agro investments fail or succeed mostly by quality of operations. If Assetrise actually manages the farm and processing, that reduces the operational burden for individual investors. Verify the team, track record, and contracts.


5. Positioning and local partners / sector momentum.
Local success of listed palm players (Okomu, Presco) and press coverage suggests the sector has significant commercial activity in Nigeria; some media pieces point to rising industry profits/prices that could benefit upstream growers. That’s useful context for upside potential.
