About DevNat Agri
Building Sierra Leone's most reliable agro-distribution network, one partnership at a time.
Our Story
DevNat Agri Ltd was founded by Sulaiman Jalloh with a clear vision: to transform how agricultural products are distributed in Sierra Leone. After years of observing the challenges faced by local retailers and food businesses—unreliable supply, inconsistent quality, and lack of professional distribution infrastructure—Sulaiman set out to build something better.
Today, DevNat Agri stands as a bridge between global suppliers and Sierra Leone's growing food industry. We're not just traders; we're partners committed to the long-term success of our customers and the food security of our nation.
DevNat Agri is part of the DevNat Group, a multi-sector African development enterprise focused on creating sustainable economic opportunities across the continent. While our parent group operates in various industries, DevNat Agri focuses exclusively on building the agricultural distribution infrastructure Sierra Leone needs.
"We're building more than a business—we're building the infrastructure for Sierra Leone's food future."
— Sulaiman Jalloh, Founder
