About Us

Tropical Plant Foods is an agricultural exporting company incorporated under the name Tropical Plants (Nig) Limited (RC 1603996) with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) in Nigeria. It was legally registered with the CAC in 2019 and has been licensed by the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) to export agricultural commodities.

However, before former incorporation in 2019, the company has been in enterprise of agribusiness since 2017 in growing and exporting valuable agricultural products on retail level and has since then expanded the scale and scope of its market to include sourcing, processing and packaging some products such as Mucuna Pruriens Seeds (Velvet Beans), Turmeric. Ginger, Moringa Leaves, Baobab Powder, Hibiscus Flowers using the cleanest, organic and natural methods to meet the standards of our buyers in North America and Europe.

In a nutshell, we have moved from a small agribusiness in the country to a more vibrant establishment doing businesses with people from all continents. We are helping food stores across countries meeting their market demands and we are so proud of that. WE hope to become one of top foods exporting companies in West Africa in few years to come. We appreciate our customers for their constant patronage and hope to it see coming.

Certifications

Product certification in recent time is becoming a great advantage to successful export of agricultural commodities across nations. Product certifications such as Good Agricultural Practice (Global GAP), Organic Certifications, Fair -trade, etc. are good examples. However, most African countries are lagging behind to go with this international practice, especially West African nations and in particular Nigeria. Though is a new practice that is yet to be understood by most farmers in Nigeria.

Notwithstanding effort are being made by some organizations in the country to partner with international agricultural standard organizations to enable farmers and exporters in the country adhere to international standard. One of such partnerships is the one of ECOCERT Group in France with NICERT Limited in Nigeria as an accredited agency for consulting and providing third-party conformity assessment and certification of agricultural commodities in the country in accordance with ECOCERT procedures.

We are currently and closely working with NICERT to ensure our products get certified by the agency as it will boost our marketability in the international market. While we await our former certification by NICERT we are continuously working to keep in place all agricultural and export ethical standards laid down by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture (FMARD, Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service (NAQS), Nigeria Port Authority (NPA), Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and their international partners.

It also worth stating here that all of our products are organic including those we have ethically sourced. Products such as baobab fruit trees are often wildly distributed and grows in natural environment with no much human effort in cultivating them and last for hundreds of years and thus a perfect organic product.  Other products we have with similar natural distribution are Moringa products, Mucuna Pruriens Seeds (Velvet Beans), Turmeric, Hibiscus Flowers, etc. though with annual lifespan.
