About Us
Dedicated to Quality, Committed to Excellence
Plantation Industries Limited is a leading Cocoa Processing Factory in
Nigeria based in Akure, Ondo State, right in the heart of Nigeria’s
cocoa growing belt.
With emphasis on meticulous quality control of raw cocoa that feeds
our plant, Plantation Industries Limited has successfully earned itself
a market wide reputation for the responsible and reliable supply of
high quality cocoa products to the international market.
After a huge investment of capital, expertise, and energy,
Plantation Industries began the processing of Nigerian raw cocoa
beans into cocoa products in October 2011. Within a short period
of time, we have earned a reputation for high standards of
operation and the consistent production of excellent products.

ETHICAL TRADE
Plantation Industries Limited actively participates in helping cocoa farmers
through our various cocoa certification and sustainability programs. We
provide farmers with improved cocoa inputs and Personal Protective
Equipment.
We invested substantially in resuscitating farmers’ cooperative unions
and helping to form new ones to facilitate training of farmers in Good
Agricultural Practices (GAP). Through our Cooperatives, we are
actively involved in traceability and sustainability. Plantation Industries
Limited is UTZ certified for Chain of Custody and our various
cooperatives are UTZ certified for Code of Conducts.
As an origin factory, our products are clearly traceable to our
farmers’ cooperatives and to individual farmers. Processing at
origin also adds value and expertise within the local economy.
HYGIENE & SAFETY
Our entire team in the factory understand and seamlessly
implement Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Hazard
Analysis and Critical Control Point standards (HACCP). We keep
to Good Manufacturing Practices by adhering to stringent hygiene
standards, efficient process control, continuous quality
assessment, regular training and compliance with set operating
instructions. We periodically identify potential hazards, assessing
the risk, providing solution, measuring the solution and
implementing the solution within an integrated policy.
Historical concern that GMP and HACCP is difficult to
implement in origin factories is no longer tenable.
A combination of improved understanding, better management and
modern manufacturing systems allow a high level of quality and
efficiency of production to be achieved at any location. No half
measures and short cuts in our implementation of GMP and HACCP.
HYGIENE & SAFETY
Our desire is always to produce a consistently high quality
product that will be in strong demand.
Continuous monitoring of our in-process and finished products is
essential in ensuring such an outcome. It is our goal to develop
and improve our activities from the very beginning of the supply
chain right through to ensuring our clients trust our ability and
capacity to consistently deliver.
Essential to meeting our goal is the physiochemical and
microbiological examination of every batch of product we produce.
We have a modern and well equipped Laboratory to monitor the
quality of our raw material, our in-line products and to ascertain the
quality of our finished products.
