CHARCOAL

Description

Charcoal is the blackish residue consisting of impure carbon obtained by removing water and other volatile constituents from animal and vegetation substances. Charcoal is usually produced by slow pyrolysis, i.e. the heating of wood, sugar, bone char, or other substances in the absence of oxygen. The resulting soft, brittle, lightweight, black, porous material resembles coal and is 85% to 98% carbon with the remainder consisting of volatile chemicals and ash.

Harvest

Hard wood charcoal can be produced year round. However, it generally advised that charcoal production and export should be done during the dry season (from November to May). Production and export of charcoal during the raining season could be rejected by buyers because of the high moisture content (i.e. above than 10%) which is usually the characteristics of the charcoal produced during this period.

Location

Charcoal can be produced from different part of the country, especially in the south west region (Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, Ekiti, etc), south south and south eastern part of the country (Enugu, Rivers, Cross river, etc), and also in the middle belt (Kwara, Kogi, Abuja and Benue) are of the country.

Specifications

Ash content: 3% - 4% max
Volatile matter: 5 – 10% max
Wood matter: 2-4% max
Size: 20-120mm
Carbon: 65-80% max

Uses

Charcoal are widely used for outdoor grilling and barbecues in backyards and on camping trips. It’s also used for House-Heating. Historically, charcoal was used in great quantities for smelting iron and later in blast furnaces and finery forges.

Export Market

The export markets for charcoals from Nigeria include Germany, Belgium, Greece, Italy, Poland, Spain, Bulgaria and UK. The largest importers of charcoal in the EU are Poland, France, Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. They buy and sell to the rest of Europe.

SESAME SEED PRODUCT PROFILE

Description
Sesame seeds (also called benni seed) are the seeds of the tropical annual Sesamum indicum. The species has long history of cultivation, mostly for its yield of oil. The original area of domestication of sesame is obscure but it seems likely to have first been brought into cultivation in Asia or India. The plant is usually 60 to 120cm tall and the fruit is a dehiscent capsule held close to the stem. When ripe, the capsule shatters to release a number of small seeds. The seeds are protected by a fibrous ‘hull’ or skin, which may be whitish to brown or black depending on the variety. 1000 seeds weigh some 4-8g. The seeds have a high oil content of 44-60%.

Harvest
Harvesting begins in late December and continues trough July. Each producing area stated in the next section below (Location) has only one season.

Location
The major producing areas in order of priority are Nasarawa, Jigawa, and Benue States. Other important areas of production are found in Yobe, Kano, Katsina, Kogi, Gombe and Plateau States. The major marketing centers (towns and states) of sesame seeds in Nigeria.

Types and Varieties
There are 3 types of sesame (and these include White, Black and Brown/Mixed sesame seeds). However, only two of these are majorly produced in Nigeria and these includes:

• White/raw – Food grade used in bakery industry. 98 – 100% whitest grade seeds.

• Brown/Mixed = Primarily oil-grade

The white (Food grade) seed is grown around the town of Keffi, Lafia/Makurdi, Doma, and in Nassarawa, Taraba, and Benue States. It is easier to sort and the Fulani/Denin people consume sesame locally. The Brown/Mixed grows in the North, in Kano State and in Jigawa Sate near Hadejia, and somewhat in the southern part of Katsina state.

Uses
Most sesame is processed directly into oil by the grower or within the producing region, but can also be sold in various stages of processing, for various uses, such as meal, paste, confections, and bakery products.

Export Market

The major import of sesame seeds in the world is Japan while the major consuming markets in the EU are Greece, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. In the past, the bulk of sesame was imported from China. Increasingly, other sources such as India, Sudan and, most recently, Pakistan, are taking the market share. The USA is the fifth largest import market with a steady demand for over 50,000 tons per year.
