WHO WE ARE

About Us

GreenThink is a company registered in Nigeria with a vision to create social innovations that will lift the rural poor out of poverty and transform them into the engine of economic growth. Our mission is to create platforms, opportunities and sustainable agribusinesses that will drive economic growth.

WHAT WE DO

We are growing community of smallholder farmers that produce quality Ginger/Tumeric and soy beans sustainably. All produce that meet the GreenThink seal of quality are nurtured with a consciousness of a tradition of responsibility at every stage from land preparation to harvest.

We operate a Ginger Hub at Kachia in Kaduna state where produce is evaluated, graded, branded for the market as well as for value addition. On the forward integration front we work with partner clusters to achieve best practices in postharvest handling that deliver quality to the table.

Our community of farmers are organized in cooperative clusters across 12 Local Government Areas that grow ginger in Kaduna state. We have 10 service centers that serve the needs of our farmers. Our initial focus is on vegetables but our network is growing to include commodities across the spectrum of agribusiness.

The core of that tradition being aflatoxin free, quality produce that meets global best practices and standards. The overarching goal is create an enterprise in farming for these smallholder farmers with that assure them and their families of a future that would otherwise remain elusive.

Global Reach

To keep the pace on meeting international standards on best farming practices with a view to farming optimally, we strive to partner and collaborate with global players of the highest competence in the agricultural sector with decades, if not centuries of track records of success in innovative agriculture. Some of these agro-corporations include; Alphavet, Hungaro Seeds, AgroFeed, Babolna Tetra, STE Tech etc.

GreenThink-MASTERCARD GINGER VALUE CHAIN PROJECT

In the wake of the Covid 19 pandemic GreenThink in partnership with Mastercard Foundation launched an intervention (the Recovery and Resilience Program) for 60,000 smallholder farmers (SMH) out of 1.2 million vulnerable indigenous ginger farming communities of Kaduna state covering 12 local government areas. Many of these famers, mainly youth and women, depend on their ginger as the sole source of cash to support the production of other food crops.

Project Impact

Mechanization at its Peak

As more farmers begin to learn and use tractors in their farm, they soon realize the difference. They are able to cover more work in less time. Now they happily expect a bumper harvest like they have never seen before.

GreenThink Rice Farm

Our rice farm covers a collective land area of over 1,000 hectares across Kaduna and Benue states. As food scarcity increases throughout the continent as a result of insecurity, Covid 19, Farmer/Herders clash and poverty, we have taken the initiative to also increase our rice production to produce more food for our growing population. In the past decade, rice consumption has been on a steady increase which reached 4.7% as at 2017. Rice is one of the most consumed staples in Nigeria, with a consumption per capita of 32kg, also accounting for 20% of Africa's total consumption ... In 2011, rice accounted for 10% of household food expenditure, and 6.6% of total household spending. Given the importance of rice as a staple food in Nigeria, boosting its production is of paramount importance to GreenThink and we plan to increase its production in the year 2022.
