Farmcrowdy has acquired the livestock and seafood processing company Best Foods Global Nigeria Limited. The acquisition will enable Farmcrowdy to offer livestock production and processing solution in Nigeria. It will also enable the agritech to launch retail meat hubs in Nigeria by the 2nd Quarter of 2020.

Farmcrowdy is an agritech platform that empowers rural farmers with improved seeds and modern farming technology. It also allows people the opportunity to crowdfund and invest in specific agro portions. They will leverage the recent acquisition to operate a new line of business and help Nigerians access well-processed meat and seafood.

The acquisition will also enable Farmcrowdy to control majority stakes in Best Foods’ assets, teams, and customer contracts to supply meats across Nigeria. They will also grow Best Foods’ Livestock value chain through improved technologies, as it increases meat standards to fit local consumption and export needs.
