Five Acres Ltd was established in 2023 with a clear ambition: to become one of Nigeria's most trusted and sought-after agricultural commodity companies. It entered full operational activity in November 2025, and today it supplies cocoa, cashew nuts, soybeans and sesame seeds, alongside technology: CCTV cameras and laptops.
Executive summary
The company was established in response to a significant opportunity in Nigeria's agricultural value chain: the need for reliable, professional and quality-focused commodity companies that connect farmers and local suppliers with processors, manufacturers, exporters, international commodity buyers and other strategic off-takers.
Five Acres Ltd focuses primarily on four strategic commodities, chosen for their importance to Nigeria's agricultural economy, their availability across different parts of the country, their strong domestic and international demand, and their potential for value creation across the supply chain.
Our long-term objective is to build a national agricultural commodity sourcing network that provides dependable access to quality commodities, while creating sustainable commercial relationships with farmers, buying agents, cooperatives, aggregators, processors, off-takers and international buyers.
To become one of the most sought-after agricultural commodity sourcing and supply companies in Nigeria.Our ambition
Company background
Five Acres Ltd was conceived in 2023 as an agricultural commodity enterprise, with the vision of building a commercially sustainable business around Nigeria's abundant agricultural resources.
The founders recognised that Nigeria has considerable agricultural potential, but that the commodity value chain still faces challenges of fragmentation, quality consistency, aggregation, market access, logistics, information flow and dependable supply. Smallholder farmers and local producers frequently operate in fragmented markets, while processors, exporters and international buyers need dependable volumes, consistent quality, traceability and professional counterparties.
Five Acres Ltd intends to bridge this gap. After its establishment, the company developed its business model, market relationships and operational structure, and became fully operational in November 2025. It is now focused on building a scalable commodity business with nationwide sourcing capacity and a strong reputation for reliability, quality, transparency, professionalism and consistent supply.
Our business
Five Acres Ltd operates primarily as an agricultural commodity sourcing and trading company. Our model is built around identifying commodities at their points of abundance, establishing relationships with producers and local aggregators, consolidating volumes, applying quality-control procedures, coordinating logistics and supplying reliable buyers.
We also supply technology, specifically CCTV cameras and laptops. Learn more about our technology offering.
Vision and mission
To become Nigeria's most sought-after and trusted agricultural commodity sourcing and supply company, recognised nationally and internationally for quality, reliability, integrity and consistent delivery.Our vision
Our mission is to responsibly source, aggregate, manage and supply high-quality Nigerian agricultural commodities while creating sustainable value for all stakeholders. It is driven by these objectives:
- To provide buyers with reliable access to quality Nigerian commodities.
- To build efficient commodity-sourcing networks across Nigeria.
- To promote quality improvement and professional agricultural trading.
- To create long-term economic value throughout the agricultural value chain.
Core values
Eight values guide how we deal with everyone along the value chain.
- Integrity
- We conduct our business with honesty, transparency and accountability.
- Quality
- Quality is central to the long-term success of a commodity business, so we maintain appropriate quality standards from sourcing through delivery.
- Reliability
- Our objective is to be a dependable commercial partner that buyers and suppliers can trust.
- Professionalism
- We approach commodity trading with structured systems, documentation, market intelligence and disciplined execution.
- Transparency
- We keep clear commercial relationships with farmers, buying agents, suppliers, buyers and financial partners.

- Sustainability
- We recognise the importance of responsible production, environmental protection and the long-term welfare of farming communities.
National sourcing strategy
One of our major strategic advantages is a commitment to a nationwide sourcing network. Rather than concentrating in one area, we intend to establish representation and reliable supplier relationships in every major commodity-producing region, guided by one principle:
Source where the commodity is abundant, aggregate where it is efficient, and deliver where the market demands it.
South-West
Potential sourcing relationships will be developed across states such as Ondo, Osun, Ekiti, Oyo and surrounding production areas.
South-East
North-Central / Middle Belt
Potential sourcing areas include Benue, Nasarawa, Kogi and neighbouring states.
North-West
Potential sourcing areas include Kano, Jigawa, Kaduna and neighbouring states.
North-East
The Federal Produce Inspection Service's commodity-location information shows the geographic diversity of Nigeria's commodity production, which supports this approach. We also work with experienced local buying agents and commodity specialists who understand the realities of Nigeria's agricultural communities.
Quality management
Quality is one of the foundations of our business. Buyers are increasingly interested not only in quantity, but in consistent quality, documentation, traceability and reliability. Our approach includes:
- Incoming quality inspection
- Commodities are assessed before acceptance based on applicable product requirements.
- Moisture management
- Moisture levels are monitored to minimise quality deterioration during storage and transportation.
- Defect management
- For relevant commodities, defect levels are monitored and controlled.
- Bean count
- For cocoa and applicable commodities, bean-count information is recorded as part of quality assessment.
- Foreign matter
- We seek to minimise foreign materials and contamination.
- Proper storage
- Appropriate storage practices are used to preserve commodity quality.
- Documentation
- Quality information is documented to support transparency with our commercial partners.
- Traceability
- Where commercially and operationally appropriate, we intend to improve traceability from aggregation point to final buyer.
We work to ensure that every commodity supplied meets the agreed commercial and quality specifications of the buyer. In international commodity markets, reputation is built shipment by shipment.
Strategic positioning
Five Acres Ltd seeks to occupy the space between producers and buyers:
By organising fragmented supply into a commercially reliable system, we aim to be a strategic sourcing partner rather than merely a commodity buyer.
Buyers and suppliers
Our relationship with buyers
We develop long-term relationships based on trust, consistency, transparency, quality, competitive pricing, reliable communication, delivery performance, problem-solving and continuous improvement. Our objective is for buyers to see Five Acres Ltd as a dependable extension of their procurement operations in Nigeria.
Our relationship with suppliers
We are building a supplier ecosystem based on fairness, respect and transparency. Suppliers should understand what we require, the quality standards expected, how pricing works, delivery and payment arrangements, quality deductions where applicable, and documentation requirements. Transparent relationships encourage better quality and stronger long-term supply.
Business ethics
We are committed to conducting business responsibly, and we do not seek short-term gains at the expense of long-term reputation. Our principles include:
- No deliberate misrepresentation of commodity quality
- Transparent commercial documentation
- Responsible supplier engagement
- Proper financial records
- Respect for applicable laws and regulations
- Professional treatment of business partners
- Zero tolerance for fraudulent transactions
Our reputation is one of the company's most valuable assets.
