About 1706 Farms

A farm built around a single idea: nurturing diversity, building value.

1706 Farms was founded by Olanrewaju Olawale, Managing Director, around the conviction that a Nigerian farm can be both biologically resilient and commercially serious. We diversify our enterprises by design — not by accident — so that every season has a story of production, not just a story of weather.

Our values

Stewardship

We treat soil, animals, capital and people as things we hold in trust — not as inputs to be exhausted.

Discipline

We measure what we manage. Every batch, every feeding, every naira moves through a system.

Diversification

Resilience comes from breadth: poultry, crops, small ruminants, fish and more, run as one farm.

What we farm

Five interlocking enterprises that share land, labour and management discipline.

The road ahead

Value-chain expansion

Our forward plan is to deepen the value chain we already touch — moving from primary production into processing, packaging and direct distribution where the unit economics and food-safety standards justify it. We are actively open to investment, grant and partnership conversations aligned with that direction.
