Everyone recognises the potential that Nigeria represents but anyone who has ever operated in Nigeria knows the challenges of conducting business in Africa’s most exciting developing market. Undaunted Urban Famer incorporated a subsidiary in Nigeria, UFNG Livestock Solutions (UFNG), in 2019.

The management of UFNG started 2020 by meeting with different financial institutions, clearing agents and warehouse operators in Nigeria. “Identifying and working with the right individuals and in-country partners will be key to us succeeding,” said Steven Payne, managing director of Urban Farmer.

Urban Farmer and UFNG are committed to commence trade in Nigeria in Q2 2020.
