AGRICULTURE

Our approach to agro business differs from our competition in that WVL is a producer in addition to a supplier, as opposed to those trading companies that focus mainly on sourcing products. WVL ensures that the largest percentage of our grains and cereals, oil seeds and fresh produce are cultivated at WVL’s farms. Our farms include one of the largest grower seed out-grower projects in Nigeria.

WVL’s crop production methods are according to global best practice and the most cutting edge crop cultivation technologies. The high quality of the inputs we utilize enables us to produce the highest quality produce for our customers. In addition, WVL uses advanced crop-genetics capable of producing higher yields and maximizing efficient input usage thereby ensuring quality and quantity of our products.

“If all arable land in Africa were to be properly

cultivated, then not only would the continent

be self-sufficient in food production, but

the whole world could be fed.” – AmritWalia.
