The Nigerian agritech company exceeds its ₦5bn target in its first commercial paper issuance.
The Series 1 issue opens a debt-capital-market funding channel for ThriveAgric’s agricultural operations. Its proceeds support the working-capital cycle behind purchasing and aggregating crops.
The issuance sits within a ₦50 billion commercial paper programme, which provides a framework for future borrowing. Anchoria Advisory Services acted as lead issuing house, and the company reported participation from institutional investors.
