About Company

YAU AGRO is an agritech and agribusiness company in Nigeria dedicated to empowering smallholder farmers—especially women and youth—by tackling two major challenges: aflatoxin contamination in maize and low yield/protein quality in soybeans. Through improved seeds, early detection tools, and farmer training, we help farmers move from rejection to approval, ensuring their harvests meet safety and market standards. Beyond farming support, YAU AGRO also sources high-quality grains and supplies them to processing companies, bridging the gap between farmers and reliable markets.
