Teragro, Transcorp Agricbusiness Arm Partners Coca-Cola on New Five Alive Pulpy

The Coca-Cola Company has launched a new line of fruit juice made from concentrate: Five Alive Pulpy Orange, and announced Teragro, agribusiness subsidiary of Nigerian conglomerate Transnational Corporation of Nigeria Plc (Transcorp) as the sole local-concentrate sourcing partner for the product.
 
Transcorp agribusiness subsidiary Teragro Commodities Limited produces orange, mango and pineapple concentrates for industrial markets. Teragro first began producing concentrate for Coca-Cola in 2014.
 
“In July, we invested in a world-class extraction cup, which revolutionized the production process and ensured that our concentrates meet the most stringent international standards,” said Teragro CEO Dupe Olusola. “

Our budding relationship with Coca-Cola is essentially the international seal of approval on our products.”
 
Given the scale of The Coca-Cola Company’s sales network and the impact on critical resources like water, it has emphasized the importance of partnering locally to ensure sustainability of supply chain.
 
“We are establishing long-term relationships with suppliers all over the world, and our partnership with Teragro is helping us to change the way agribusiness is done in Nigeria,” said Nigerian Bottling Company Director of Stills Prahlad Gangadharan. “We are proud to have a supplier like Teragro, that delivers the highest quality product, making sustainability without sacrificing quality, a real possibility.”
