:: ABOUT US

Lifecare Ventures Limited, a company incorporated in 1988 in Nigeria started its agro-allied operations in 1991.

The company operates a sorghum processing factory in Sango-Otta, Ogun State as its core business. The finished products from our processes (white and yellow sorghum malt) are the starting adjuncts for our customers in the beverage and food industry.

The existing factory has an installed capacity of 10,000 metric tonnes of malt per annum. At present the factory works at almost 100% capacity because of heightened demand for sorghum malt. An extension of the factory, which will double its installed capacity, is currently under way.

The company has also recently diversified into the related agro-allied area of grains handling and storage. A Silo storage and grains handling complex capable of storing, handling and cleaning 12,300 tons of sorghum and an equivalent volume of other grains.

The complex is now operational and handles the sorghum grains of two of our clients.

The complex combines the foremost equipment in grain cleaning technology with a versatile grain handling system allowing easy loading and discharge at any stage of grain processing.

The company at the same time increasing its installed capacity to 20,000 tons of malt sorghum per annum to meet up with customer demands.
