Nigeria
Thistleberry Food Co. Ltd is a women-led agro-processing and export enterprise headquartered in Abuja, Nigeria, dedicated to transforming Africa’s agro-food sector through value-added production, food safety compliance, and sustainable trade.
Founded in 2017 as natural farm, we formally expanded and incorporated Thistleberry Food Co. Ltd in 2022. The company specializes in producing premium, minimally processed, clean-label African food products sourced from smallholder farmer networks. With a product portfolio spanning dehydrated vegetables, dried fruits, herbal teas, authentic spice blends, functional flours, and hand-processed grains, Thistleberry combines African heritage with modern processing and packaging that meet BRCGS Compliance, ISO 22000:2018, HACCP certifications and FDA Facility standards.
Through its training arm, the Thistleberry Food Processing Academy, the company also empowers SMEs with capacity-building, regulatory guidance, and market access support under the AfCFTA framework.
Thistleberry’s products are exported to the UK, USA, Canada, Liberia, and Gulf markets through private label, co-branding, and bulk supply arrangements, positioning it as one of Nigeria’s trusted suppliers of premium African foods to international buyers.
