Company Summary

Nigerian farmers grow 65% of tomatoes grown in West Africa, but over half rot before reaching consumers. Farmers have no incentive to invest in better farming inputs to increase their yields, so they barely participate in one of the world’s largest tomato markets. TJ captures value with a fully integrated business spanning tomato farming, processing, and sales/distribution of branded tomato paste into the Nigerian market (a $500M dollar market).
