SpenAgro CEO Mbachu Unveils Strategy to Achieve Global Cocoa Dominance, Anchored on Premium Quality and Farmer Empowerment

The Chief Executive Officer of SpenAgro, Ebuka Mbachu, has declared the company’s intent to become a dominant force in the global cocoa market, asserting that the firm is taking decisive steps to position itself as a leading exporter amidst rising international demand.

Mbachu’s confident statement, released today, Friday, November 28, 2025, comes as the global cocoa market experiences heightened dynamism. Latest figures from the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO) indicate that cocoa prices have surged by 3-5 per cent due to tightening supply, while sustained demand from Europe and North America continues to drive processing volumes.

“As global demand for premium, ethically sourced cocoa continues to strengthen, our mission remains clear: to deliver world-class cocoa beans while empowering the farming communities at the heart of the value chain,” CEO Mbachu stated.

Strategy Built on Sustainability and Quality

SpenAgro, founded by agricultural professionals, aims to exceed global industry benchmarks by anchoring its growth strategy on three non-negotiable pillars: quality, sustainability, and farmer empowerment. The company is actively focusing on producing high-quality beans that meet the rigorous standards of international buyers.

Mbachu highlighted that the company’s recent milestones are a reflection of a deliberate push to become a reliable supplier in a tightening international market. Over the past month, SpenAgro has not only expanded its export capacity and onboarded new partners but has also deepened investments in sustainability initiatives crucial for guaranteeing long-term supply stability.

Industry watchers acknowledge SpenAgro’s swift rise, attributing it to the strong leadership of Mbachu, whose focus on strengthening farmer networks and improving processing standards is setting the company apart. As global competition intensifies, stakeholders agree that SpenAgro, with its aggressive and strategic approach, is a Nigerian company poised for major impact on the international commodity stage.
