Our company is a Limited Liability Company based in Lagos, Nigeria. It is a business set up with a clear, dedicated and committed vision, to excel and grow into one of the best Agro based industries in Lagos which has taken advantage of the abundant raw materials produced to create goods for export. The proposed plant will be built in Lagos, Nigeria.
We also have acquired recently a 10,000 hectares plant land in the same region for cultivating of tomato. Our processing plant we believe will be run by a team of experts that include Mr…………….. as the General Manager.
