All Organic Farms Limited, a Nigerian food processing company, is expanding its organic food production capacity with plans to serve both the domestic and international markets.
The company’s state-of-the-art food-processing facility is expected to commence operations in January 2027, initially producing plantain flour, yam flour and herbal teas made from soursop, avocado and lemon leaves.
Osita Oparaugo, founder of All Organic Farms Limited, said the company is building an end-to-end value chain.
“All Organic Farms is building an integrated agricultural value chain covering cultivation, farmer partnerships, processing, packaging and distribution,” he said.
“We are also contributing to the transformation of farming and food production in an organic way that promotes healthy living while protecting and preserving our farmlands for future generations,” he added.
Oparaugo outlined the company’s guiding philosophy: “Our philosophy is simple: healthy food begins with healthy soil,”he stated.
“We want consumers to know where their food comes from, how it is grown and how it is processed,”
“Farmland is not dirty; it is destiny,”he said
The company focuses on the cultivation and processing of various agricultural produce and It is targeting significant production capacity in its first three years of operation before progressively scaling to meet growing domestic and international demand for organic African food products.
All Organic Farms is positioning itself at the intersection of agriculture, healthy living, sustainability, food processing and rural economic development.
Its business model includes a network of outgrower farmers who will cultivate approved crops according to the company’s organic production guidelines.
The initiative is designed to expand production capacity while creating economic opportunities for farmers and rural communities.
Participating farmers will receive seedlings, technical guidance on soil management, organic cultivation, crop protection and post-harvest management and the company will also provide market access through produce offtake arrangements.
In a move to promote transparency, All Organic Farms is introducing digital and virtual farm tours which will allow consumers, institutions, government agencies, distributors and potential partners to observe aspects of its farming and processing operations remotely.
The company says the initiative reflects its belief that consumers should have greater visibility into how the food they purchase is produced.
The farming system excludes synthetic fertilisers, pesticides and genetically modified inputs, with an emphasis on building healthy soils and naturally resilient agricultural ecosystems.
Its processed products are developed without artificial food additives, reinforcing the commitment to producing food as close to nature as possible.
As it prepares to open its processing facility in 2027, All Organic Farms Limited says its long-term ambition is to build a globally recognised African organic food brand, create opportunities for farmers, and demonstrate that sustainable agriculture can operate successfully at commercial scale.
Oparaugo dedicated the first harvest of mature plantains from the company’s farm in Mbieri, Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State, as a gesture reflecting his Christian faith and his belief that the first harvest should be offered in thanksgiving for the farm’s progress.
