Every farm in our network is verified, mapped, and traceable.

Processing & Packaging
Raw produce arrives at our integrated Nigeria-based facility where it goes through cleaning, mechanical shelling (for cashew), peeling, manual sorting by skilled inspectors, size and quality grading, moisture conditioning, and final packaging. Every commodity is processed according to international AFI standards. Packaging is customized per buyer — jute bags, vacuum tins, or FIBC bulk bags.

Manual inspection by trained quality specialists
Custom packaging available per buyer specifications

Quality Control
Every batch undergoes our 12-point quality control protocol. Laboratory tests verify moisture content, aflatoxin levels (B1 and total), defective and broken percentages, foreign matter contamination, color uniformity, and pesticide residue. Random samples are sent for microbiological analysis covering Salmonella, E. coli, and yeast/mould per ICMSF standards. Each batch receives a Certificate of Analysis.
