ReelFruit champions sustainable manufacturing with support from FCMB

First City Monument Bank (FCMB) has reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable manufacturing that minimizes negative environmental impact while conserving energy and natural resources. This was demonstrated by the newly inaugurated dried fruit manufacturing plant of Nature’s Bounty Health Products Limited in Abeokuta, Ogun State. Financed by FCMB, the 800-metric-ton manufacturing plant affirms Nature’s Bounty’s commitment to large-scale production and environmental responsibility.

Nature’s Bounty Health Products Limited, trading as ReelFruit, is a purpose-driven Nigerian food technology startup that transforms abundant local fruits like mangoes, coconuts, and cashews into healthy snacks. This prevents post-harvest wastage and protects farmers from revenue loss. The company’s focus on social impact, supporting underserved communities, and promoting Nigerian products globally necessitated its expanded capacity. The new plant allows Nature’s Bounty Health Products to increase the production of its variety of ReelFruit products from 6 to 30 metric tons monthly, creating over 200 jobs.
