A core mandate given by government upon inception was the management of a National Emergency Food Security Reserve (NEFSR).

Under this, NAFCO is essentially required to keep or hold some quantity of food as a buffer for the nation and release them when necessary, including emergency, disaster and high food cost seasons.

This helps to keep inflation in check, reduce post harvest loses and aid government’s interventions on agriculture as well as the attainment of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 15 and 17.
We work with Licenced Buyers who purchase from local farmers and transport them to our Warehouses dotted across the country for keep.
