How ISHOJIM RESOURCES De-risks the Non-Oil Export Supply Chain
The biggest challenge to scaling Nigerian non-oil exports lies in the "logistics nightmare" of moving products from the interior aggregation centers to the final seaport. This critical logistics aspect, compounded by infrastructure deficits and high costs, requires a highly structured and de-risked approach.
Our Two-Pillar Aggregation Strategy
ISHOJIM RESOURCES has mitigated these risks by establishing a clear, regionalized management structure to ensure smooth movement and consolidation of cargo.
- South West Zone (6 Western States): This zone is managed by our General Manager, coordinating the aggregation of multiple commodities. The focus here is on efficient collection and preparation for long-distance transport. We are supported by a large team of 40 support staff in this zone.
- Middle-Belt Focus (Kogi State Hub): Our operations in the Middle-Belt, managed by a dedicated General Manager, are crucial, particularly for Cashew Nuts. Our largest Cashew warehouse in Anyigba, Kogi State, serves as a strategic hub for consolidating and coordinating foreign supply chain activities on this commodity.
The Impact of Structure
This organizational clarity provides several key benefits:
- Consistency: A structured system reduces the accumulated costs and delays typically associated with port congestion and poor internal transport.
- Scale: Dedicated regional teams and physical warehouse infrastructure allow us to manage large volumes, whether supplying local off-takers like Walcot Ltd. or major international clients.
- Reliability: By seeing the supply chain "from beginning to end," we can offer the clear business model required for financial stability and long-term contract fulfillment.
Our robust, regionalized aggregation strategy is the foundation of our promise: to provide seamless, end-to-end logistics that bridge the distance between Nigerian resources and the global market.
