Job Description

Agbeyewa Farms is a large, professionally run agribusiness based in Ekiti State, Nigeria. We focus on growing cassava using modern machines and improved farming methods to produce high-quality crops for food and industrial use.

We farm on a large scale and use organized systems, skilled teams, and technology to manage our operations and improve productivity. This helps us achieve better yields, control costs, and ensure a steady supply of raw materials.

With the acquisition of Matna Foods Limited, a leading cassava starch processing company, Agbeyewa Farms now plays an important role across the value chain — from farming to processing. Our work supports food security, provides raw materials for industries, and creates jobs that help rural communities grow.

We are committed to safe work practices, responsible land use, and protecting the environment, while building strong relationships with our host communities and creating opportunities for local talent.

As we continue to grow, Agbeyewa Farms is building a model that can expand across Africa, driven by professionalism, efficiency, and a clear focus on long-term impact.
