About the company

Releaf connects smallholder palm oil farmers with large food manufacturers in Nigeria. It buys palm nuts from over 2,000 farmers and uses a proprietary Kraken de-sheller to process nuts 25 times faster with 95% purity, then sells high-quality kernels to consumer goods brands while offering farming financing and training; a USSD-based SITE software manages the supply chain. The company also turns palm kernel shells into biochar through pyrolysis, producing carbon removal credits verified with partners, while the biochar acts as a soil amendment and has shown yield gains in pilots. Its goal is to remove 700,000 metric tons of CO2e by 2030 and generate revenue from kernels, biochar, and carbon credits, setting it apart with a tightly integrated farmer network, faster processing, and a new climate-focused revenue stream.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • February 2026 Salesforce bought Releaf Earth’s inaugural 190-ton carbon removal credits.
  • May 2025 Cross River plant gave Releaf Nigeria’s first industrial biochar platform.
  • March 2026 Releaf raised $10 million, funding expansion across Nigeria and West Africa.

What critics are saying

  • Cross River biochar economics depend on steady shell supply and Carbon credit buyers after 2026.
  • Palm processors like Presco and local mills can squeeze margins before Releaf scales.
  • Single-site industrial exposure at Iwuru creates existential outage risk from fire, permits, or logistics.

What makes Releaf unique

  • Kraken processes palm nuts 25x faster than local equipment, raising 95% kernel purity.
  • Releaf controls farmers, processing, and financing across 2,000+ suppliers in Nigeria.
  • Releaf Earth links palm waste to biochar, carbon credits, and soil amendments.

Nigerian agritech Releaf raises $10M turning palm waste into biochar and carbon credits

Releaf, founded in 2017 by Ikenna Nzewi and Uzoma Ayogu, has raised $10 million to scale its palm processing and climate technology in Nigeria. The company has evolved from early marketplace concepts to developing Kraken, a proprietary palm nut processing system designed for African conditions that improves efficiency and reduces waste. The startup has expanded into climate finance through Releaf Earth, which converts palm kernel shells and agricultural waste into biochar. This carbon-rich material improves soil quality whilst generating measurable carbon removal outcomes, enabling participation in international carbon markets. Releaf's dual revenue model combines processing income with biochar sales and potential carbon credits. The company aims to demonstrate that traditional agricultural systems can be redesigned into modern value chains delivering stronger incomes, better resource use and measurable climate benefits simultaneously.
