About Buildzone
Building the systems that feed a continent.
Buildzone is an integrated agro processing company. We work across the agricultural value chain, from farms and plantations to procurement, processing, trading and distribution, and we build the infrastructure that makes those value chains work.
Our story
Founded in 2019. Built for the future.
Buildzone was founded in 2019 to process Nigerian crops close to where they are grown, so that more of their value stays with the farmers and communities who produce them.
As our processing operations grew, it became clear that what holds African agriculture back is rarely the crop itself. It is the infrastructure between the farm and the market.
Building that infrastructure is now a core part of our business, alongside our rice, cashew and palm oil operations.
Mission
To build the systems that feed a continent, using technology, innovative models and hard infrastructure to produce crops, add value and open markets, locally and globally.
Mantra
“Value added at the source, infrastructure built to last, and markets opened for African farmers.”
