Who we are

We are not a trading desk. We run a palm mill, we load our own trucks, and we buy the rest direct from farms we have worked with for years.

Our story

Naerapower works from offices in Nigeria, Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire, with buyers in Europe, the Americas, Asia and across Africa. Two things sit at the centre of the business: agro industrial raw materials moving in container quantities, and African foodstuffs moving to diaspora retail.

We keep the awkward parts under our own roof. Fruit is pressed and kernel cracked at our own mill in Côte d'Ivoire. Loads cross a weighbridge before they leave. Spices and flours are cleaned, dried and milled to the moisture spec a buyer asks for, not to whatever came off the farm.

Alongside commercial volumes we run a personal shopper service. If you need African foodstuff in household or small retail quantities, we buy it, pack it and ship it for you.

Sourcing

We buy through our own farms and mills and a set of targeted out growers across Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Benin, Burkina Faso, then consolidate for shipment.

Milling & Processing

Fresh fruit bunches are sterilised, pressed and separated on site. Kernel is cracked, shell is dried and screened, and everything is bagged in the mill house rather than bought on from a middleman.

Haulage & Weighbridge

Tipper and tanker fleets move product from the mill to the Port of Abidjan, and from farm and mill to Apapa, Tema and Takoradi. Every load crosses a weighbridge, so the tonnage on your documents is the tonnage that left the yard.

Sourcing at Scale

Beyond our own mill we buy direct from farms, mills and targeted out growers in Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Benin and Burkina Faso, which is what lets us hold commercial quantities of more than forty product lines at once.
