How to become a Power Oil distributor in Nigeria
Power Oil is a vegetable oil brand made by PZ Wilmar. In June 2025, Wilmar International agreed to buy PZ Cussons’ 50% stake, taking full ownership of the business. Distributors are appointed by the company itself. You can start now by trading vegetable oil at wholesale and building a customer base of shops, food sellers and caterers.

Why cooking oil is a good line
Every kitchen uses cooking oil, and food sellers go through it fast. That makes oil one of the steadiest products a distributor can carry. The catch is price: oil follows the naira and global palm prices, so prices can move several times a year. Buy little and often, and pass on increases quickly.
Vegetable oil you can buy wholesale today
Power Oil isn’t listed on Wigmore Wholesale at the moment. These oils are in stock:
How to get started
Get the basics in place
- A business registered with the CAC (we can help)
- Storage out of direct sun. Heat and light make oil go rancid faster, and jerrycans must be stacked carefully.
- A tricycle, bus or small van for deliveries
- Cash for your first order and one reorder (trade finance options)

Sell to heavy users first
Food sellers, bukas, bakers and caterers use oil every day and buy in bulk. A handful of them can keep your stock moving while you add shops.
Offer the sizes people buy
Pillow packs and small bottles for kiosks, 3 to 5 litres for families, 10 to 25 litres for food businesses.
Watch prices every week
Check prices before each order and tell your customers early when prices are about to rise.
Will the numbers work?
Use your own quotes. Profit is before tax and before paying yourself. Nothing you type is saved.
Applying to the manufacturer
Once your volumes are steady, contact the manufacturer’s sales team in your region. Expect them to ask about your warehouse, vehicles, area and order size. Following the 2025 deal, PZ Wilmar was due to change its name, so check its current contact details before you apply.
