La-Wandy’s Food products We are an Agritech offering key solutions to improve rice quality

Milled rice is Nigeria’s second most consumed food, only after Cassava in the Urban and Sorghun in rural areas; progress that rice assumed since the mid-1970s. In 2015, the Nigerian Government banned import of foreign milled rice. Initially, local giant millers had this as an advantage; swimming in unmet demands, setting prices. Their huge demand for paddy awakened smallholder farmers/ market middlemen to milling intelligence; cutting off paddy supplies, creating stiff price competitions against the industry heavyweights. A market of about 200 million consumers, growing at 2.64% per year is inspiring those challenger smallholder millers, assuring them of more promising futures. However, most of them lack the technical competence to deliver high-quality finished products, as they mostly offer poorly destonned rice. La-Wandy has engaged an economic model that aggregates milled rice from smallholder millers and finishes it to finest quality, offered to end-buyers at friendlier prices.
