Golden Agri Inputs (GAIL)
We offer a platform that provides a reliable and consistent supply of local raw materials for best utilization of the FMN group’s processing capacity through well-defined Backward Integration Programs as well as local procurement and aggregation efforts.
Through this value chain we ensure a close interaction with farmers providing them with inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, storage solutions, agronomic support and agricultural extension services.
In addition to this, GAIL has been developing outgrower and contract farming schemes for over 50,000 Nigerian farmers while providing a platform to offer high yielding hybrid varieties, access to good agronomy practices, aggregation and storage solutions.
We also provide a ready market for the output of these farmers. In effect, we are providing both sources of inputs and a visible, reliable, consistent and ready platform for their outputs i.e. maize, soybean, sorghum, cassava, wheat and palm kernel which form the basis of the raw materials for our food, edible oils and animal feeds value chain.
