TBT Agro Commodity Trading sprang to prominence in the agricultural heartlands of Western Nigeria, where farming had always been a major occupation.

Even at this, this occupation didn’t live up to its full potential as farmers had to deal with issues like inadequate storage facilities, inadequate transportation, lack of a standardised market etc.

Thanks to its ground-breaking Agri-tech venture, TBT Agro is currently changing the face of agriculture. TBT Agro, established in 2020 by Tesleem Tunji-Bello a forward-thinking businessman with extensive experience in business development and logistics, has grown from a regional logistics supplier to a full-fledged Agri-tech firm.

The founder, driven by a childhood passion for farming and a love for the universal connector – food, birthed TBT Agro.

The initial focus on logistics for agro commodities quickly expanded to include sourcing and trading a variety of agricultural products, creating a network with over 85 sourcing agents and directly linking with more than 1,000 farmers across Nigeria.

In 2023, TBT Agro took a transformative leap, envisioning itself as a bridge between demand and supply in agriculture through technology. This vision materialized with the launch of their agro commodity trading platform, a one-stop solution revolutionizing the way buyers and sellers connect in the agricultural market.

TBT Agro’s platform stands out with its direct network of farmers, ensuring a reliable and consistent supply. The commitment to creating sustainable markets has provided farmers with stable revenue streams. The platform’s transparency and traceability prioritize building trust among users.

The upcoming product launch, “Market Bazaar by TBT,” adds another layer to the company’s commitment to enhancing convenience in food and grocery purchasing.

This innovative platform allows individuals to seamlessly purchase and receive foodstuffs and groceries from their preferred local markets.

As the founder Tesleem Tunji-Bello states, “We are building some sort of ‘Amazon’ for the Nigerian agro commodity market.”

TBT Agro, having started as a logistics and sourcing company, is now a trailblazer in connecting agro-buyers and sellers. The company’s journey from fields to tech signifies a paradigm shift in the agribusiness sector, emphasizing efficiency, sustainability, and accessibility.

TBT Agro’s story is more than a business evolution; it’s a narrative of transforming passion into a thriving enterprise and, in the process, revolutionizing the agribusiness landscape in Nigeria.
