Nigeria’s palm oil industry is witnessing a remarkable transformation, characterized by the substantial growth of industry leaders like Presco Plc and Okomu Oil Palm Company Plc, which boast billion-naira revenues and impressive market valuations.Amidst these corporate giants, innovative players such as Sefapcol Ltd. are laying a robust foundation for long-term national impact.
With an extensive portfolio encompassing over 100 hectares of flourishing oil palm plantations, South East Farms and Agricultural Processing Company Limited (SEFAPCOL) is actively shaping Nigeria’s future in palm oil production, meticulously managing every aspect, from seedling cultivation to supply chain logistics.
Despite Nigeria’s significant natural potential for palm oil production, the country currently imports more than 450,000 metric tons annually.
Sefapcol is diligently working to bridge this gap by expanding local cultivation efforts, empowering rural communities, and generating employment through sustainable and mechanised farming practices that are mindful of the environment.
Why It Matters:
Diverse Agricultural Footprint: Over 100 hectares of actively cultivated land not only dedicated to oil palm but also to vegetables, cocoa, and dairy, strategically located in Nigeria’s key agricultural zones.
Commitment to Economic Resilience: A steadfast dedication to job creation and value-added processing, catering to both local and export markets, thereby bolstering the economy.
Strengthening Domestic Supply: Playing a crucial role in stabilising domestic supply while simultaneously targeting the increasing global demand for palm oil in food production, cosmetics, and biofuels.
Promoting Sustainable Practices: Advocating for climate-smart agriculture and long-term food security through responsible land use methodologies that prioritise ecological health.
Sefapcol is committed to ensuring that local stakeholders, from dedicated farmers to dynamic agribusiness entrepreneurs, derive tangible benefits from the revival of the palm oil industry.
Our mission remains clear: to cultivate from the roots up and guarantee that no Nigerian goes to bed hungry. Through these efforts, we are not just growing a crop; we are nurturing a future filled with promise and opportunity for all.
