Introducing Produce for Lagos

An integrated public-private initiative transforming how food reaches Lagos.

By combining modern infrastructure, innovative financing, efficient logistics and structured food trading, we are creating a more resilient, affordable and transparent food ecosystem that benefits farmers, businesses and consumers alike.

Produce for Lagos brings together infrastructure, finance, logistics and commercial trading into one coordinated ecosystem for sourcing food, transporting it from production centers with efficient logistics to well-organised markets and on to the final consumer.

The Challenge

Lagos sits at the epicentre of Nigeria's food security challenge.

Food security is one of the defining challenges of rapidly growing cities. Nigeria's food economy is vast, dynamic, and under sustained pressure. The national food market is valued at over ₦22 trillion annually, yet systemic inefficiencies continue to drain its potential.

Each year, the country loses an estimated $8-10 billion to post-harvest inefficiencies-eroding farmer incomes, fuelling price volatility, and undermining national food security.

Today, much of Lagos' food trade occurs through informal markets with limited infrastructure, resulting in high post-harvest losses, poor price transparency, weak quality assurance, food safety concerns, and significant logistics inefficiencies.
