Oladunni said the products are designed to appeal to health-conscious consumers while offering competitive alternatives to imported brands.
Folay Industries is also focused on expanding its reach beyond Nigeria, leveraging its strategic location and access to export incentives in the Lekki Free Zone to promote Made-in-Nigeria products across African markets.
Oladunni emphasised: “Our vision is to promote food security locally while ensuring Nigerian products take their rightful place in international markets.”
The company’s efforts align with Nigeria’s goals of economic diversification and agricultural industrialisation, demonstrating how indigenous firms can drive growth and innovation in the agro-industrial sector.
Oladunni added: “With Folay Industries, we are not just producing food; we are redefining the possibilities of Nigeria’s agricultural wealth.”
The development underscores the transformative potential of local innovation and collaboration in creating value for Nigeria’s economy and strengthening its position in global markets.
