This is made possible with the use of advanced technology and the hard work of our professional team.
We are in the Kunu drink production business because we want to take advantage of the numerous opportunities in the agricultural sector, to help Nigeria’s economy improve by increasing domestic food production, to export agricultural products from Nigeria to other nations, and above all else, to make a profit.
We are committed to sustainability as a company and we actively contribute to the development of our host community. We are equally committed to meeting our customers’ needs precisely and completely. As such, we hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards.

Market Potential
Nigeria remains one of the largest producers and consumers of Kunu Drink globally. The ban on the importation of fruit juice is a boost to the production of local beverages such as Kunu drink. The alleged medicinal value and low price of the product make it a seller. The product could be distributed for sale in schools, hospitals, restaurants, fast food outfits, and so on. It is estimated that the national demand for Kunu drink is in excess of 150 million liters per annum.
Despite the fact that it doesn’t get the government’s attention, Kunu Drink remains on high demand in Nigeria. It is the preferred drink in local traditional events, including weddings and funerals.
Kunu Drink production and preservation under hygienic conditions and the distribution of a shelf-stable bottled product offer a unique industrial opportunity if given the required attention and it is a fertile business venture for an interested businessperson.

Juice production industry is fiercely competitive and PATILAD is fully aware of these competitions that are available when it comes to selling bottled drinks/Kunu all over the globe. We are prepared to compete favorably with other juice processing companies in Nigeria and beyond.
Some of our competitive advantages includes;
- Our location
- The uniqueness of our product in the market
- Our distribution networks
- The vast experience of our team
- Our excellent customer service culture
- Proper care and development opportunity for our employee
- Our leverage of the internet by using our websites and social media platforms
- We are involved in Sorghum farming, Kunu processing, packaging and distribution for both local and international market and this allows us to take advantage of all the available opportunities in the industry.
SWOT Analysis
Knowing fully well that with a proper SWOT analysis we will be able to position our business to maximize our strengths, leverage on the opportunities that will be available to us, mitigate our weaknesses and be well-equipped to confront our threats. We therefore employed the service of a Business Analyst with a background in the juice production industry to help us conduct a thorough SWOT analysis and we came up with the following results
Strength:
- We can rightfully claim to have some of the most skilled workers in Nigeria’s juice industry as well as the top processing tools.
- What will definitely count as a strong strength for the business is that we grow our own Hibiscus at our farm and we are directly involved in all the process
- Another strength we leverage on is our location.
- We have a management team with vast experience who are highly experienced and understand how to grow a business from scratch to become a national phenomenon
- One of our strengths as a Kunu Drink Production company is that we have solid connections with a lot of key actors, including domestic and international suppliers and purchasers.
Weakness:
- As a start-up, one major weakness is the fact that we are a new company and we don’t have the market credibility yet especially from international markets which is highly competitive already as a lot of other big players are in the industry.
- As a result of limited funds, we presently operate in just one location which will seriously limit our vision of supplying to our target markets locally and internationally.
Opportunities:
- The fact that we are going to be operating our Kunu Drink Production and Preservation company close to significant states and megacities like Lagos State because of our location which provides us with unlimited opportunities to sell to a large number of people.
- The demand for bottled Kunu Drink is estimated at 150 million litres per annum and the supply is just 20% of the above figure. That is a clear show of demand-supply gap. This gap is what we are capitalizing on at PATILAD
Threat:
- One of the major threats is the arrival of a new Kunu Drink Production and Preservation company in same location where ours is located in the nearest future
- Another threats that we are likely going to face is economic downturn which has affected the purchasing power of potential customer.
