About Agricorp
When thinking of ginger, many people automatically think of India and China, the two powerhouses of ginger production globally. However, what many do not know is that the second largest producer of ginger is located right in the heart of Africa. This country is responsible for 16% of global production. Agricorp is a proudly Nigerian company (with a UK Office) that provides global exports to clients of ginger sourced in key trading markets in Africa. We currently have an origination processing facility in Kaduna (Nigeria). Agricorp has invested in a state of the art 0.5MT/hour integrated spices processing equipment. The technology meets with both international and local standards. Our aim is to put Nigeria on the radar for the export of ginger, turmeric, garlic and other indigenous spices and agro products.
