Rhabe is incorporated in 1998 with a focus on agro processing and smart agriculture. We produce and package food products both for ingredients and ready to cook under the brand name Rhabe. Our primary producers live in the Nigeria rural communities of Jos, Zaria, Lafia, Nsukka, Ogoja. Our aim is to share and conserve African food culture through promotion of African produce and spices. Some of our products serve as seasoning, binders or blending materials both in the confectionery, soups and super food segment.
Currently Rhabe is processing melon seeds (Egusi), crayfish, bush mango, beans flour and Tiger nuts under its brand names of Rhabe Quik Egusi, Ally Crayfish and Rho Ogbono and Quik Beans Flour and Xamia Tiger nut
In 2009 Rhabe Ventures Limited leadership ventured into food processing as a business opportunity to conserve African food culture and also reduce importation of food in Nigeria. The decision was made based on data analysis of statistics from Nigeria business outlook which showed a huge and growing deficit in the foreign exchange market due to importation of food raw material and finished food products.
Our objective is to raise capital to drive the marketing, sales and distribution to make Rhabe a household name. We believe that once we achieve brand recognition, we can introduce more products under the created brand.
We understand the need to make maximum use of resource therefore our team in product development and projects are exploiting opportunities available in our current value chain to ensure zero waste and also introduce other products that share same processing with our existing machinery such as dry herbs, sesame flour and cocoa powder for industrial application.
“Our team of young people mostly women daily are innovating exotic taste and texture of ingredients, spices & finished products using native agricultural produce from Sahel & savanna region of Nigeria both for binding, blending and seasoning applications in foods“
