Ikenna Nzewi, Releaf
Ninety percent of factories in Nigeria are running at below fifty percent of their installed capacity due to scarcity of quality raw materials and the capital to purchase them. Releaf, an Agtech startup that develops proprietary hardware and software solutions to drive the industrialisation of food processing in Africa, is working to change this narrative.

Starting in Nigeria’s oil palm sector, the company is creating technology that will make farmers and food factories in Africa more efficient and profitable. While palm kernel oil (PKO) production is not foreign to Nigeria, Releaf’s technology and scale allows the company to produce 500 tonnes of PKO weekly and also crack palm kernel nuts with ninety-five percent efficiency using their newly developed technology, Kraken.
