Niger Food and Logistics Company Limited is a Public-Private Partnership established by the Niger State Government to enhance agricultural productivity and food security in Niger State, Nigeria. The company’s mission is to develop efficient and profitable agricultural businesses that play a central role in the state’s agricultural value chain, aiming to become a trendsetter and major player in Nigeria’s agricultural sector for both local and export markets.
Niger Foods focuses on increasing the yields and quality of vegetables, fruits, root crops, grains, pasture, animal feed, and livestock in Nigeria. The company emphasizes reducing post-harvest losses by developing infrastructure and institutions for handling food for export and local consumption, thereby establishing lawful food systems.
To achieve its mission, Niger Foods plans to establish modern, state-of-the-art collection, storage, and packing centers (Food Parks). Additionally, the company aims to develop farm estates ranging from 250,000 to 5,000,000 hectares across 25 local governments for primary production, aggregation, processing, conditioned storage, and warehousing of farm produce, with the goal of realizing significant yield and quality improvements.
The company is also involved in various partnerships to boost agriculture in the region. For instance, Niger Foods has collaborated with international agricultural companies to empower local farmers with modern farming techniques and inputs, ensuring guaranteed off-take agreements to enhance productivity and sustainability.
Niger Foods serves as a platform for investors to invest and thrive in the agricultural sector, contributing to the growth and sustainable development of Niger State’s agro-industrialization efforts.
