- Ownership of 10 hectares in a structured oil palm estate can yield N2.1 billion over 30 years through crop income and land appreciation
- Palmrich Estate offers professionally managed farms with partnerships that reduce risk and ensure consistent returns
- Investors benefit from passive income, inflation-resistant assets, and long-term capital growth without direct farm management
Nigeria’s palm oil industry is undergoing a major revival, driven by rising local production, declining imports, and record profits from listed processors.
With the global market projected to hit $70 billion, investors are increasingly turning to structured oil palm estates as a reliable path to long-term wealth creation.
Sector Snapshot: Nigeria’s Palm Oil Rebound
Recent data from the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS/USDA) places Nigeria’s palm oil output at approximately 1.5 million tonnes, still trailing domestic demand of 1.8–2.7 million tonnes. This supply gap is fueling local investment and expansion.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, crude palm oil (CPO) imports dropped by 26% in 2024—from N17.03 billion to N12.6 billion—indicating stronger domestic supply chains. Corporate earnings reflect this momentum:
- Presco Plc posted N111.9 billion in profit before tax (H1 2025), up 120% YoY
- Okomu Oil Palm Company saw a 459% YoY surge in Q2 2025 pre-tax profit
Over N2.13 trillion has been invested in the sector over the past seven years, according to BusinessDay, with government initiatives like the NaPOTS traceability system and plans to plant 100 million new palms reinforcing long-term growth.
Palmrich Estate: A Scalable Investment Model
Palmrich Estate by Assetrise Limited offers investors access to professionally managed oil palm farms across Lagos, Oyo, and Ogun states. With over 8,000 hectares cultivated and 11,000+ landowners onboard, the estate combines land ownership with sustainable agriculture and institutional partnerships—including Okitipupa Oil Palm Plc, NIFOR, AG Mortgage Bank, and Mutual Benefits Insurance.
Investment Projection: 10-Hectare Model
- Early intercropping income (cassava): N3 million (Years 1–2)
- Oil palm returns: N40–N50 million annually from Year 4
- Land appreciation: N160 million by Year 3
- Cumulative 30-year return: N2.1 billion (crop income + land value)
These figures are based on high-yield seedlings, mechanized operations, and strategic market positioning.
