Organisations whose Nigerian priorities already align with this platform.
Runners Agro is not asking to replace existing farmers, cooperatives, processors, banks or government institutions. It seeks to connect them through trusted technology, local execution and agricultural intelligence — a partner to plug into, not a competitor to react to.
Cargill
Publicly committed to training and improving market access for 10 million farmers globally by 2030 — and has separately explored a cassava processing investment in Kogi State built around an inclusive smallholder model.
The fit: Runnerbot 1's farmer advisory and pesticide-safety data map directly onto exactly the kind of smallholder engagement that commitment requires at Nigerian scale.
Olam Agri
Already runs a 10,000-hectare nucleus-outgrower rice operation in Nasarawa State, and signed an MoU with AGRA in September 2025 specifically to scale smallholder programmes in Nigeria.
The fit: Ogun State is a genuinely new geography for Olam Agri's field operations — Runners Agro offers a land-secured entry point next to their own Lagos base.
These are potential partnership areas under exploration — not existing commercial agreements or endorsements. Cargill and Olam Agri are researched in depth because their public commitments align most directly with what Runners Agro offers today; the broader list reflects institutions whose Nigerian priorities are relevant, not confirmed conversations.
