Integrated Agro-Industrial Processing & Value Chain Development
The OHL Trans-Nigeria Agro-Industrial Project is one of the seven anchor projects under the MDG Project Nigeria initiative. This project addresses Nigeria's critical agricultural processing and food security needs through sustainable, innovative solutions focused on roots & tuber, sugar, fruits & cocoa processing, livestock & fishery operations, edible oils extraction, cereals & grains milling, forestry products, and agricultural inputs manufacturing to support Nigeria's agro-industrial ecosystem and value chain development.
The Six Operational Phases
Phase 1 – Roots & Tuber, Sugar, Fruits & Cocoa
OHL Agro Limited will manage an integrated processing complex for cassava-based ethanol production, starch extraction, sugar milling, tomato paste processing, and cocoa processing facilities.
Phase 2 – Livestock & Fishery
OHL Agro Limited will operate a comprehensive protein value chain encompassing poultry egg farm, poultry meat processing, fish processing, pork processing, beef processing, UHT milk, milk powder, and cheese manufacturing.
Phase 3 – Edible Nuts & Oils
OHL Agro Limited will manage integrated oilseed processing operations for palm, soybean, sesame, groundnut, coconut, sunflower, and rapeseed oil extraction and refining.
Phase 4 – Cereals & Grains
OHL Agro Limited will operate a modern grain milling complex for maize, rice, and wheat processing with high-capacity milling operations.
Phase 5 – Forestry Products
OHL Agro Limited will manage an integrated forestry complex encompassing charcoal production, saw mill operations, and bamboo pulp processing mills.
Phase 6 – Agro Allied & Support Services
OHL Agro Limited will operate agricultural inputs manufacturing including animal feed mills, NPK fertiliser production, PP woven bag manufacturing, and plastics moulding facilities.
