About Farmkart

Our story.
Our mission.
Our people.

Farmkart Foods Limited was founded in 2016 with a conviction that technology and purposeful enterprise could transform African agriculture. Today, we are one of Ogun State's leading commercial egg and catfish producers — and we are just getting started.

What we stand for

Purpose, defined.

Two statements anchor everything we build — a vision for the kind of food enterprise Africa deserves, and a mission for how we get there together with the communities that feed the continent.

01 Our Vision

To build a technology-driven food enterprise that makes sustainably produced, high-quality food affordable and accessible to the average African — while creating economic opportunity and improving livelihoods for the farming communities that feed the continent.

02 Our Mission

To build and optimise a technology-driven agricultural value chain that makes wholesome, sustainably produced food affordable and accessible to African households — while ensuring that the farmers, communities, and partners at the heart of our operations share equitably in the value we create.

Our journey

From two fish ponds to one of Ogun State's leading commercial egg producers.

Farmkart Foods Limited was founded in 2016 in Ogun State, Nigeria, with two earthen fish ponds and an unwavering belief that technology and purposeful enterprise could transform African agriculture. From those early beginnings, we built steadily and deliberately — launching poultry operations in 2018 and investing in automated systems to bring precision and consistency to everything we do. Each step was a commitment — not just to growth, but to doing things the right way.

Poultry layer farming became the beating heart of our commercial operations, and today Farmkart operates 33,000+ layer birds producing over 10 million eggs annually, serving a network of 150+ SME distribution partners across Lagos and Ogun State. Over 90% of those partners are women-owned businesses — a fact we are proud of, because it reflects what Farmkart is really about. We are not building a farm. We are building a food enterprise that shares its prosperity as it grows. With plans to reach 150,000 layer birds by 2027 and 300,000 by 2030, we are only at the beginning of what we set out to achieve.

What we believe

Six values that drive everything we do.

These are not poster words. They are the operating principles behind how we farm, who we hire, and the way we share the prosperity we create.

01

Innovation

Technology is not an add-on at Farmkart — it is how we farm.

02

Mission

One purpose drives everything: sustainably produced food, affordable and accessible to the average African.

03

Planet

We farm responsibly today so the next generation inherits something better than we found.

04

Accountability

We say what we mean and do what we say — always.

05

Community

We grow when our communities grow — and that is exactly how we designed it.

06

Transformation

We are not just producing food. We are building a food system that changes lives.
