First City Monument Bank (FCMB) affirmed its commitment to
sustainable manufacturing that minimizes negative environmental impact
while conserving energy and natural resources, with its support for
ReelFruit.
This was demonstrated by the newly inaugurated dried fruit
manufacturing plant of Nature’s Bounty Health Products Limited in
Abeokuta, Ogun State. Financed by FCMB, the 800-metric-ton manufacturing
plant affirms Nature’s Bounty’s commitment to large-scale production
and environmental responsibility.
Nature’s Bounty Health Products Limited, trading as ReelFruit, is a
purpose-driven Nigerian food technology startup that transforms abundant
local fruits like mangoes, coconuts, and cashews into healthy snacks.
This prevents post-harvest wastage and protects farmers from revenue
loss.
The company’s focus on social impact, supporting underserved
communities, and promoting Nigerian products globally necessitated its
expanded capacity. The new plant allows Nature’s Bounty Health Products
to increase the production of its variety of ReelFruit products from 6
to 30 metric tons monthly, creating over 200 jobs.
Affiong Williams, Founder and CEO of Nature’s Bounty Health Products highlights the factory’s broader significance: “This
facility is more than just bricks and mortar; it embodies my unwavering
belief in Nigeria’s agricultural and manufacturing potential. With this
factory, we are scaling our dried fruit production to serve customers
nationwide, export ‘Made in Nigeria’ products globally, and transform
agribusiness. We are creating jobs, supporting farmers, and proving that
large-scale impact is achievable. This facility is a positive symbol
for Nigeria’s business landscape for generations to come.”
The new factory has ten times the capacity of its predecessor,
positioning the ReelFruit brands to reach domestic and international
markets with its premium dried fruits. The company’s innovative approach
successfully balances economic development and environmental
protection.✍️“feel free to disagree in the comments
