Edible oil manufacturer BN Group announced on Tuesday a USD 1 billion (approx Rs 8000 crore) investment to expand its operations across Africa, targeting emerging markets with a phased deployment over the next five years. The company, in a statement, said it plans to establish three manufacturing facilities with a combined production capacity of 2,000 tonnes and invest in palm plantations.

The company’s Founder and Managing Director, Anubhav Agarwal said the expansion is a strategic move to become a global enterprise, focusing on creating value-driven businesses that cater to diverse African markets.

BN Group, which currently operates brands Simply Fresh and Nutrica in India, reported revenues of over Rs 4,500 crore in fiscal year 2024.
