Our story

Built on Nigerian farms. Refined for the world.

Platemate began with a simple observation: Nigeria grows extraordinary rice and cassava, yet too little of it reaches the market at a premium, consistent standard. We set out to change that — investing in sourcing relationships, modern processing and rigorous quality control.

With a commitment to affordability and innovation, Platemate has earned its reputation as a trusted name in the food processing industry. Our offerings — cassava starch, garri, cassava flour and cassava chips — showcase that dedication to premium quality.

What we stand for

Four commitments, applied daily.

01

Quality first

We would rather reject a consignment than ship one that does not meet specification.

02

Affordability

Efficient sourcing and processing keep premium products within reach of everyday kitchens.

03

Innovation

We continually refine drying, milling and packaging to raise yield and shelf stability.

04

Community

Our tagline is a promise: growth shared with the farmers and communities we buy from.
