We buy rice straight from local farmers. Then we cook it a bit, grind out the chaff or rice cost, make it shiny and take out any stones. Right now we’re using simple ways to pack it as we build our brand. Our rice represents the best of Nigerian farming, carefully processed for you to enjoy.” He added.

Kenneth sells his rice cheaper because he wants to help people during this tough time. While other businesses raised their prices, Kenneth kept his low.
He explained to Legit.ng that he wants to ease people’s struggles. Even though he doesn’t make much profit, he keeps the price low. He’s a 37-year-old engineer who had a serious accident during his university’s days that hurt his spine. But he didn’t give up. He finished his degree and even did his national youth service. He has always wanted to start a business that helps create jobs for young people. Even when he faced more challenges, like needing surgery, he didn’t lose hope. He said he is grateful for the support he got from fellow Nigerians that helped him in the surgery and he’s determined to keep serving his country.
