In the heart of Nigeria, where malnutrition and poverty weigh heavily on rural communities, one woman is rewriting the story of food and empowerment. Mrs. MaryAnn Okoli, founder of Esomchi Foods, didn’t just start a
business, she sparked a movement. Her agribusiness began with a simple yet powerful idea: nutritious food should be accessible, affordable, and locally produced.

Today, Esomchi Foods is a beacon of innovation, transforming biofortified crops like orange-fleshed sweet potato and vitamin A maize into everyday staples that nourish families and fuel livelihoods.
From the fields of Adamawa, Anambra, Plateau and Gombe to kitchens across different geographical regions of Nigeria, Esomchi Foods is building a farm-to-table ecosystem that puts women at the centre. Through strategic partnerships and a deep understanding of local needs.
