In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action—helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within.

Purpose of Engagement

FMN intends to build an Agri digital platform to consolidate its various verticals and expand its reach in Nigeria through strategic partnerships with various value added service providers linked digitally.
