My name is Oluwaseun Ilori, I’m 23 years old from Nigeria. I studied Physics at the university Ibadan where I developed a strong interest in problem solving and entrepreneurship. Growing up, I always admired the resilience of local traders in my community and that inspired me to start my own business.
Today, I deal in the buying, storage and sale of grains such as beans, millet and maize. I purchase in bulk during harvest seasons when the prices are lower, store the grains properly and sell them later for a profit. This has helped me support myself and contribute to my local economy.
My goal is to grow my business, improve food availability and eventually create job opportunities for others.
I’m excited to be part of Zidisha and I’m grateful for the opportunity to connect with people who believe in small business growth and community development.
I run a grain trading business where I buy and store grains like maize, beans and millet during harvest seasons and sell them later at a profit. These grains are always in high demand as they are staple foods in Nigeria. I started this business to support local farmers and to create a reliable income for myself.
My main costs include purchasing grains, transportation and storage. Profits are reinvested to grow the business and to support my living expenses. With Zidisha funding, I plan to expand by buying more stock, increasing profits and serving more customers effectively.
I buy and sell grains like maize, millet and beans. With the funds I raise, I plan to buy more stock to increase my output and meet customer demand. In my community, there is a high demand for grains and I’ll be well positioned to meet this demand with the support from Zidisha community.
