Supply Chain in Agribusiness: How TBT Agro delivers from state to state

The movement of agricultural commodities in Nigeria is a strategic challenge. With over 30% of annual harvest lost to post-harvest issues, this is primarily due to poor storage and inadequate transportation, and the journey from the farmgate to the market is often where profitability dies.

At TBT Agro, we recognize that for Nigerian agribusiness to thrive, we must replace the chaotic, fragmented system with a reliable, tech-driven supply chain. We don't just find buyers for your produce; we ensure its safe and efficient transit across Nigeria's complex state-to-state logistics terrain.

The Agribusiness Logistics Problem in Nigeria

Moving commodities across Nigeria's diverse regions involves navigating significant bottlenecks:

Inadequate Rural Roads: Many primary production areas are hard to access, increasing transport time and vehicle wear.

Lack of Cold Chain: For perishables, the absence of modern refrigeration and storage leads to massive spoilage and waste.

Security Risks & Checkpoints: These factors create delays, increase costs, and compromise the integrity of the cargo.

Manual Processes: Relying on paper manifests and phone calls for tracking creates zero transparency and allows for errors.

TBT Agro's State-to-State Delivery Solution

Our model leverages technology and a deep network of partners to transform interstate logistics from a risk into a core competitive advantage for our partners:

Digital Sourcing and Vetting: Our digital platform connects directly with over 1,000 farmers and a network of 85+ sourcing agents across major agricultural states (like Benue for Soybeans, Ondo for Cocoa, and Kaduna for Ginger). This digital connection allows us to vet and standardize quality at the source before the journey even begins.

Optimized Consolidation & Warehousing: We utilize strategically located regional hubs for aggregation. This process ensures we can efficiently consolidate smaller batches into bulk shipments. For products requiring specific conditions, we partner with innovative providers to incorporate smart storage solutions before long-haul transport.

Real-Time Traceability & Fleet Management: Unlike traditional methods, our system employs GPS tracking and digital documentation for every single commodity shipment. This provides end-to-end transparency, allowing both the supplier and the buyer to monitor the cargo's location and status in real time, from a farmer in Benue to a processor in Lagos.

Risk Mitigation and Insurance: We understand the risks on transit routes. By providing a digitized and traceable pathway, we reduce opportunities for loss and ensure that commercial agreements are protected by reliable insurance coverage.

By streamlining transactions, ensuring transparency, and investing in logistics technology, TBT Agro is reducing post-harvest losses and ensuring our clients receive their commodities exactly when and where they need them. We are building the "Amazon" for Nigerian agro-commodity trade—efficient, reliable, and accessible.
