Nigeria: Truvis Agro supported for GLOBALG.A.P. Assessment

TRUVIS AGRO SERVICES LIMITED is a Nigerian agro-business engaged in the cultivation and processing of vegetables, herbs, and spices. The company has production activities in Epe (Lagos state), Ayetoro (Ogun state), Ilemeso (Ekiti State), and Ilemona (Kwara state), along with a processing facility in Lagos. Their focus is on implementing good agricultural practices to meet the requirements of the domestic and export markets. In 2021, TRUVIS AGRO SERVICES LIMITED joined COLEAD’s Fit for Market SPS programme, aiming to enhance their agricultural practices and meet international market standards.

As part of the collaboration,, the Fit For Market SPS programme supported Truvis Agro in conducting an assessment of their pepper growing operations in Ilemeso, evaluating their compliance with the globally recognized GLOBALG.A.P. standard. The assessment, which took place in December 2021, showcased Truvis Agro’s cultivation of over 25 hectares of pepper farms.

The outcome of this work has provided Truvis Agro with valuable insights into the corrective actions required to achieve full compliance with the GLOBALG.A.P. standard. COLEAD will be able to provide capacity building assistance to bridge some of the identified gap through its programmes in Nigeria.

The activity was supported by the Fit For Market SPS programme, implemented by COLEAD within the framework of the development cooperation between the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) and the European Union (EU).
