Best Food and Agriculture Tech Companies in Nigeria
The 143 best Food and Agriculture Tech companies in Nigeria in 2026, ranked by funding and momentum. Funding, investors, founders, valuation, tech stack and live signals. Top: TradeDepot.
Food and Agriculture Tech in Nigeria is more active than most outsiders assume, and this directory ranks 143 tracked companies by disclosed equity funding and recent funding momentum to show you exactly where the capital is landing.
Total disclosed funding across the sector sits at $257M, and one name dominates that figure hard. TradeDepot has pulled in $123M, which is roughly 48% of everything tracked here, while Babban Gona follows at $20M. That concentration tells a story: a handful of operators are capturing most of the institutional attention, backed by names like Y Combinator, Sahel Capital, and Techstars. The global food and agriculture tech market is valued at around $4,200B with a 4.7% CAGR projected forward, and demand drivers like water conservation and a return to plant-based basics are pushing operators across emerging markets to build faster. Across 504 food, foodtech, and agriculture apps globally, median install growth is running at roughly +20% year-over-year. So the consumer pull is real. I'd watch the mid-tier closely here, because companies like ORDA ($4M) and Winichfarms ($3M) are building in exactly the segments where that mobile momentum is sharpest.
