About Us
On a search for a more purposeful life, Chigozie Bashua embarked on a holiday trip to the United Kingdom in 2012 and one day, she went grocery shopping. Discovering healthy flours on the aisle, she wondered why the nuts grown in Nigeria was not given the amount of attention it deserved. She did a research on the nutritional benefits of several nuts and how it will change the lives of people who needed these healthy food products as part of their diet, people diagnosed with several diseases and needed gluten-free and lactose-free food.
Recognizing that some of the problems faced in Nigeria were inefficient processing, lack of digital systems within the processing value chain and heavy dependence on imported nut based food products which led to increased food prices, she decided to be part of the agricultural food chain to contribute to resolving these issues.
The next day, she visited a medium sized processing company in Tottenham and got a crash course on nut processing. Returning back to Nigeria, The Nut Place was registered and that started the journey of nut processing.
The Nut Place became a Limited Liability Company in 2020.
