1980
Rooted in the Land
Our journey began with earth, sweat, and vision. Vicago Group was founded as Vicago Farms when we acquired our first cocoa farm in Nigeria. We didn’t just trade cocoa; we grew it, learning every stage of cultivation, quality, and care from the ground up.
- •Legacy Launch
- •Built expertise from soil to harvest
- •Rooted in practical agricultural knowledge
2004
Stepping into Global Trade
To bridge the gap between local harvests and global demand, Vicago Nigeria Limited was officially incorporated. This marked our evolution into a premier commodity trading house, bringing corporate structure to our agricultural expertise and exporting premium cocoa beans to the world’s most demanding confectionery leaders.
- •Formalized Operations
- •Premium Cocoa Specialists

Growing Together, Growing Stronger
Through trust and empowerment, our network expanded organically. By 2015, we were partnering with over 10,000 farmers across Nigeria, providing training, fair pricing, and sustainable farming support—proving that growth and community can go hand in hand.

2019
A Milestone Year
Our unwavering commitment to reliability built a legacy of meaningful volume. By 2019, Vicago had cumulatively traded over 150,000 metric tons of cocoa, cementing our role as a trusted and enduring link between African farms and international markets.

2025
A New Continent, A Broader Vision
Building on 45 years of agricultural mastery, Vicago expanded to North America with the incorporation of Vicago Canada Inc. This strategic move marked our evolution into a multi-commodity global powerhouse, integrating wheat, Canadian Western Red Spring (CWRS), Canadian Western Amber Durum (CWAD), and soybeans into our portfolio.
