The Problem
Nigerian farmers work hard. Middlemen profit most.
Nigeria has 36 million smallholder farmers producing enough food to feed the continent. Yet billions in value are lost annually — not because of poor harvests, but because farmers cannot reach buyers directly.
40%
Post-harvest losses
Produce rots because farmers cannot find buyers fast enough after harvest season. Food that could feed thousands never reaches a table.
60%
Middleman margin
Up to 60% of the final consumer price goes to agents and middlemen — not the farmer who planted, grew, and harvested it.
$9B
Lost annually
Nigeria loses an estimated $9 billion in agricultural value yearly to inefficient distribution systems. This is not a production problem.
"
The problem with agriculture in Africa is not the production. Farmers produce enough. The real problem is distribution — and nobody was building to solve that.
— Benjamin Okonofua, Founder & CEO, Konof Foods · Age 21 · Ibeju Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria
Why This Matters
Most agritech solutions focus on improving production. Konof Foods uniquely targets distribution — the actual bottleneck causing post-harvest losses, farmer poverty, and food insecurity across Africa. This insight drives every product decision.
