You don't need any license here in Nigeria. Its not a health related business, you're operating under agriculture. Unless you want to license your palm front business then it will operate with benefits unfold.Now the Business of cutting down forest and selling them in the market is a great business idea that I would love to explore and see how it goes. I don't know if one will need to get a licence for some kind of a business or you will need permission before you can be able to cut down some trees to sell.
