For investors seeking both returns and impact, Johnvents Industries offers a rare opportunity.
The Nigerian agribusiness giant aims to raise ₦5 billion through its Series 1 & 2 non-interest Commercial Paper issuance, which will close on Thursday, August 21, 2025.
Unlike conventional debt plays, this issuance follows the Murabaha model.
In this structure, Johnvents Industries Non-Interest Funding SPV Plc sells the goods, while Johnvents Industries Limited purchases them.
Consequently, the company aligns its capital-raising process with non-interest financial principles and embeds transparency from start to finish.
This issuance also forms part of the company’s broader ₦15 billion programme.
Strong Financial Momentum
Meanwhile, Johnvents continues to deliver exceptional financial results.
In 2024, the company more than doubled its turnover to ₦230.63 billion and lifted its profit before tax to ₦25.75 billion.

It also increased equity to ₦133.59 billion from ₦69.83 billion and boosted total assets by over 130% to ₦249.02 billion.
The company achieved these gains by expanding operations and strategically increasing inventory levels.
Cocoa Powerhouse In Action
At the heart of this success, Johnvents runs a 15,000-tonne semi-automated cocoa processing facility in Akure along the Ilesa–Benin Expressway.
The plant processes up to 30 tonnes of cocoa beans daily, producing 5 tonnes of cocoa butter and 25 tonnes of cake or powder.
In addition, the company works directly with over 2,000 farmers and local buying agents across eight Nigerian states, ensuring a steady supply of high-quality cocoa.
Furthermore, Johnvents holds strong credit ratings—‘BBB+’ from both GCR and Agusto & Co—because it maintains robust financial health and excellent operational performance.
By investing in the Series 1 & 2 issuance, investors can not only support Africa’s food security and export ambitions but also participate in a growth story designed to deliver solid financial and social returns.
