The Journey of Fresh Produce: From Soil to Shelf

Fresh produce doesn’t simply appear on the shelf. Behind every tuber of yam, every grain of rice, every onion bulb, every ripe tomato, and every fiery pepper is a story — one that begins in the soil and ends in kitchens around the world. At Manjat Farms Limited, we take pride in every step of that journey.

1. Preparing the Soil – The Root of Every Harvest

Healthy soil is the starting point of every successful harvest.

• For yams: Deep, loose ridges are prepared for tuber development.
• For rice: Levelled and irrigated paddies ensure water is distributed evenly.
• For onions, tomatoes, and peppers: Soil is enriched with organic matter for proper drainage and nutrients.

2. Planting – Setting the Foundation

The journey continues with careful planting:

• Yams from selected seed tubers.
• Rice sown in prepared paddies, either directly or via transplanting.
• Onions, tomatoes, and peppers nurtured in nurseries before being transplanted into open fields.

3. Nurturing – Helping Crops Thrive

Our agronomy team ensures each crop gets exactly what it needs:

• Yams: Staked and weeded regularly.
• Rice: Controlled irrigation and pest monitoring.
• Onions: Consistent watering for healthy bulbs.
• Tomatoes & peppers: Balanced fertilization and natural pest control.

4. Harvesting – Timing is Everything

• Yams: Harvested when leaves yellow, indicating maturity.
• Rice: Reaped when grains turn golden and firm.
• Onions: Pulled when tops fall over and skins are dry.
• Tomatoes & peppers: Picked at peak ripeness for flavor and nutrition.

6. Distribution – From Farm to Shelf

We ensure our produce reaches customers fresh and intact:

• Cold chain systems for perishable items.
• Efficient transport routes for fast delivery.
• Traceability for quality and safety assurance.

7. Nourishing Homes and Communities

From pounded yam at a family dinner to a steaming plate of jollof rice, from a fresh onion stew to a rich pepper and tomato sauce — our produce tells the story of months of hard work and dedication.
