1.1 Overview:
Arewa Cotton Growers & Processing Ltd aims to establish a vertically
integrated cotton farming and processing enterprise based in Kano State. With a
strong focus on mechanized cultivation, local processing, and value addition,
the company will serve the growing demand for raw cotton, cotton lint,

100 hectares of cotton using improved hybrid seeds.

up a mini cotton ginnery and baling center in Year 2.

cotton lint to West African textile mills by Year 5.
2.0 Business Description
2.1 Industry Overview
Cotton is a strategic crop for Nigeria, especially in the northern regions
where climatic conditions support its growth. Historically, Nigeria was a major
exporter of cotton lint, but neglect of agriculture and industrial collapse
reduced output. However, renewed interest in the textile value chain and
government incentives through the Anchor Borrowers Programme and other schemes
have revived local cotton farming.
Kano remains a critical zone for cotton farming, ginning, and textile
manufacturing. Cotton has multiple value chains—from lint for textiles, seed
for oil and feed, to husk used in briquettes. This positions cotton as a highly
profitable agribusiness.
2.2 Business Goals
- Become
a leading cotton farm and processor in Kano State within five years.
- Develop
a robust cotton-to-fabric value chain with local and export markets.
- Create
employment and offer contract farming schemes for 200+ local farmers.
2.3 Business Model
Arewa Cotton Growers & Processing Ltd operates a dual business model:
- Primary
Production: Cultivation of cotton using improved
agronomic practices.
- Processing:
Ginning of seed cotton into lint, crushing cottonseed into oil and cake.
Revenue streams include:
- Sale
of raw seed cotton
- Sale
of processed cotton lint
- Cottonseed
oil and cake (by-products)
- Potential
export of lint and cottonseed oil
2.4 Location Justification
The business will be located in Bichi, Kano State, a prime cotton-growing area.
It offers:
- Fertile
loamy soils ideal for cotton.
- Proximity
to major roads and markets (Kano city, Katsina, Kaduna).
- Availability
of skilled labor and existing farming culture.
2.5 Legal Structure
The business is registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) as a
limited liability company. All relevant licenses from NAFDAC, Nigeria Cotton
Association, and NEPC for exports will be secured.
