Nagida Foods Building Africa’s Zero-Waste foodtech Ecosystem for Global Access

Nagida Foods is building Africa’s first AI-powered, zero-waste FoodTech platform connecting smallholder farmers with urban and global food markets. In Nigeria, over 45% of food is lost annually, costing ₦3.5 trillion and leaving farmers in poverty while businesses face unstable prices and poor supply. Nagida solves this by integrating AI, cold-chain logistics, and smart processing hubs that deliver traceable, quality food to hotels, restaurants, and retailers, reducing their cycle time (prep time) by 65%. Clients also reduce sourcing time by up to 70% and inventory losses by 40%. On the supply side, 56,000+ farmers gain fairer prices and reliable off-take, cutting post-harvest waste and boosting income. Through our Nexport platform, Nagida extends Africa’s foods to diaspora markets using a data-driven, zero-waste system powered by biogas and circular recycling. We’re transforming inefficiency into opportunity, turning waste into wealth, and data into sustainable food security
