Unlike other grains, fonio’s small size and husk structure makes it difficult to separate the husk from the grain without specialized tools or equipment. The traditional threshing and dehusking processes are both labor-intensive and time-consuming, often requiring extensive manual labor. This process is a significant burden on smallholder farmers who often lack access to advanced machinery, relying instead on traditional methods that are physically demanding and slow. AgroEknor is working closely with fonio farmers to develop market linkages and secure funding for better equipment needed to automate this process. This support aims to provide long-term solutions to ease post-harvest labor and improve product quality.

Celebrating our Chief Executive Timi Oke for this well deserved honour.

As part of this year’s King’s Week 2024, a few old boys will discuss and provide input on the path to a Nigeria that is prosperous, secure and economically strong. If in the coming years we want Nigeria to be able to successfully assert itself in a world that has become tougher and more complex, we need fresh ideas to develop policies of resoluteness and reason, with less bureaucracy and more proximity to the people as defining elements. Glad to join Professor Muyiwa Oyinlola , Fola Aina and Moses Nasamu, MBA tomorrow for this important discussion. AgroEknor

Winston Churchill once said, “Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.” This quote perfectly encapsulates the idea of failing forward - AgroEknor recently launched YieldPro; a tech-driven system backed by Mastercard Foundation and Aruwa Capital Management and this reminded me of our first farming scheme that ended up in considerable failure and the journey to value that failure for the lessons learnt and then apply those lessons to future efforts that birthed the YieldPro solution! A short story below!

Aruwa Capital Management , an early-stage growth equity and gender lens fund investing in Nigeria and Ghana, announced an additional investment into AgroEknor , a hibiscus flower exporter and wellness brand. “This investment will enable the company to scale further, improve its operational infrastructure, expand its farmer empowerment initiatives and continue to diversify its revenue streams, reflecting our commitment to gender-lens investing and sustainable economic development,” said Adesuwa Okunbo Rhodes , founder and managing partner of Aruwa Capital.
