Johnvents Industries Limited has commenced its Series 25,26 and 27 Commercial Paper (CP) issuance, aiming to raise up to ₦30 billion under its ₦100 billion Commercial Paper Issuance Programme. This issuance presents a unique opportunity for investors looking to participate in Nigeria’s growing financial market.
Johnvents Industries Limited is a fully Nigerian-owned agribusiness company engaged in the processing, manufacturing, export, and distribution of agricultural commodities and consumer products. As an established participant in Nigeria’s capital markets, Johnvents intends to utilize the proceeds of this issuance to support its working capital requirements, particularly the bulk purchase of cocoa inventory as the Light Crop Harvest season concludes and preparations for the Main Crop season commence.
Established in 2016, Johnvents began operations as a crop aggregation business and has since evolved into one of Nigeria’s leading integrated agro-industrial companies. The Company operates processing facilities in Ondo and Kano States, with flagship cocoa processing plants in Akure and Ile-Oluji boasting a combined installed capacity of 48,000 metric tonnes per annum. Its products are exported to Europe, South Africa, and Asia, while the Company also serves leading local FMCG manufacturers. Through the Johnvents Foods brand, the Company additionally offers a growing portfolio of consumer products.
In 2022, Johnvents reorganized its operations into six strategic business divisions to enhance efficiency across its value chain. The Company has also expanded its international footprint, establishing trading offices in the United Arab Emirates and Uganda, while entering the Senegalese and Gambian markets through its premium rice offerings. These initiatives have strengthened its global presence and increased foreign exchange earnings.
The current offer, which opened on Tuesday 28th of July, 2026 is expected to close on Tuesday, August 4, 2026.
Further reinforcing its growth strategy, Johnvents is advancing its backward integration initiatives and expanding processing capacity with support from leading international development finance institutions, including the Dutch Fund for Climate and Development (€475,000), British International Investment (US$40.5 million), and the International Finance Corporation (US$23.3 million). These partnerships underscore the Company’s commitment to sustainable and inclusive growth.
