2. Business Description

Company Overview

Company Name: Lagos Greenhouse Veggies Ltd.
Location: Ikeja, Lagos State (strategic location with access to key markets, transportation, and suppliers).
Business Structure: Lagos Greenhouse Veggies Ltd. will be a Limited Liability Company (LLC), with ownership shared among investors.
Ownership: The company will be owned by the founding partners, with potential future investment rounds for expansion.

The company will operate using modern greenhouse farming techniques, where vegetables will be grown in a controlled environment. This allows for better control of variables such as temperature, humidity, light, and water, leading to optimal growth conditions year-round.

Industry Overview

The agriculture sector in Nigeria plays a critical role in the country's economy, contributing approximately 25% to the GDP. However, despite its significance, the sector faces numerous challenges, including inconsistent supply, reliance on rain-fed agriculture, and outdated farming practices. The greenhouse farming industry is relatively underdeveloped but is growing due to increased interest in urban farming, food security, and sustainable agriculture.

Lagos, Nigeria’s economic and commercial hub, has seen a rapid increase in demand for fresh vegetables due to population growth, urbanization, and changing dietary habits. Greenhouse farming presents an opportunity to meet this demand by providing high-quality, year-round produce.

Business Structure and Ownership

The business will be managed by a management team with expertise in agriculture, technology, and business operations:

• CEO (Chief Executive Officer): Responsible for overall business strategy, fundraising, and stakeholder relationships.
• Farm Manager: In charge of farm operations, including greenhouse setup, plant care, and crop management.
• Sales and Marketing Manager: Manages customer acquisition, branding, and sales efforts.
• Finance Manager: Oversees financial planning, budgeting, and financial reporting.
• Technology Manager: Responsible for implementing and maintaining greenhouse technology, such as automated irrigation systems, climate control systems, and hydroponic setups.

The company will hire a team of skilled farm workers, horticulturists, and technicians to manage day-to-day operations and ensure the efficient running of the greenhouse.
