It is owned and operated by Teragro Commodities Limited, the agribusiness subsidiary of Transnational Corporation of Nigeria Plc (Transcorp), a Lagos-based conglomerate. It was established in 2011 as a result of a partnership between Teragro and the Benue State Government.[1] The plant is used to process orange and pineapple concentrates, mango purees and orange oil for industrial markets. The plant can process up to 26.5 million tons of fruit per year; the existing technology housed there ensures that the juices extracted meet international quality standards. HistoryOn May 19, 2011, Teragro signed an agreement with the Benue State government to take over Benfruit, the state-run fruit juice concentrate company. The plant, which is located in the Makurdi Industrial Estate, is situated on one hectare of land. It has installed capacity to produce orange, mango and pineapple fruit concentrates at up to 26,500 metric tonnes per annum.[2] During several consultations across the state with farmers’ cooperatives, government representatives, and local politicians, Transcorp Plc was invited to make the investment in support of Benue’s reputation as the ‘food basket of the nation'.[3] Benue State currently produces over one million (1,000,000) metric tonnes of citrus fruits per annum. The Benfruit transaction was Transcorp’s first investment in the agribusiness segment.[4] OperatorTeragro Commodities Limited is the operator. Teragro and its products are certified by the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration (NAFDAC) of Nigeria and the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) with ISO 9001:2008 and FSSC 22000:2005.[5][6] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/04/there-are-huge-potentials-for-fruit-processing-in-benue-transcorp-ceo/|title=There are huge potentials for fruit processing in Benue - Transcorp CEO - Vanguard News|date=2012-04-19|work=Vanguard News|access-date=2017-08-24|language=en-US}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.theoctopusnews.com/tag/teragro-benfruit-plant-in-benue-state/|title=Teragro Benfruit Plant in Benue State – The Octopus News|website=www.theoctopusnews.com|language=en-US|access-date=2017-08-24}} 3. ^http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/weekly/index.php/business/16761-hope-rises-for-benue-farmers-as-nepc-plans-citrus-export 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/juiced-up-creating-markets-to-drive-agriculture/114745/ |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2015-11-09 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121128143151/http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/juiced-up-creating-markets-to-drive-agriculture/114745 |archivedate=2012-11-28 |df= }} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/129287/67/transcorp-is-delivering-on-promise-to-give-nigeria.html|title=Transcorp is delivering on promise to give Nigerians access to country's growth potential|work=TheNigerianVoice.com|access-date=2017-08-24}} 6. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.proshareng.com/news/Investors%20NewsBeat/TRANSCORP-takes-over-ownership-and-physical-possession-of-Ughelli-Power-Plant/21555|title=TRANSCORP takes over ownership and physical possession of Ughelli Power Plant|work=TRANSCORP takes over ownership and physical possession of Ughelli Power Plant|access-date=2017-08-24|language=en}} 1 : Companies of Nigeria |
