Kellogg Tolaram Nigeria Limited (KTNL) is a Joint Venture between Kellogg Company USA and Tolaram Group of Singapore. KTNL was incorporated on 20 August 2015 to develop the cereal and snack business in Nigeria and other West African countries. KTNL started the import of Kellogg brand cereals and snacks from the UK and Belgium in Europe in 2016. In April 2016, the JV board approved the set up of a cereal plant in the Lagos Free Trade Zone. The plant is ready and commercial production started in January 2018. Manufacturing in Nigeria with the help of locally available raw materials will help generate revenues for the local farmers and traders, become self-sufficient, boost the economy as well and generate employment for the local talent.
