About Us

The Nigeria Agribusiness Register is powered by the Commodity Development Initiative, a social enterprise, in collaboration with Rossland Research. Both organizations were established by Roland Oletu Oroh, who also serves as the founder and CEO of Rossland Group. The Rossland Group is a versatile business development services provider specializing in the agriculture and food sector. Their services encompass research, market intelligence, background checks, and human capital placement, among others.

The inception of the Register was inspired by Roland’s tenure as the Project Manager for Agribusiness and Enterprise Development at the U.S. Agency for International Development from 2010 to 2017. During this period, he oversaw agribusiness development and trade facilitation projects.

The primary objective of the Register is to serve as a repository of information for the agribusiness sector in Nigeria. It plays a pivotal role in fostering new initiatives within the agribusiness realm, often through partnerships with public sector institutions such as the Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
