who we are
Petros Farms is a wholly owned Indigenous Agro-Allied company, located in Egbelu Nguru Community in Ngor Okpala Local Government Area of Imo State (30 minutes drive from Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Owerri).
The idea for Petros Farms was born in 2020 at the early stages of the COVID 19 pandemic. Our Co-founder Justine Echebiri, who after graduation from the university was unable to secure appropriate employment, became inspired after visiting his friend who was working at an egg depot. That simple interaction at an egg depot with deep introspection that followed thereafter became the genesis of Petros Farms.
The current focus on commercial table egg layer operations is due to the unmet demand in Nigeria. The vision is to systematically establish major poultry production facilities in different local communities, such that these networks of communities will become meaningful stakeholders and contributors to the Nigerian global food system.
Due to the high unemployment rate and minimal to zero opportunities for employment in our local communities, the Co-founders of Petros Farms believe that a sustained commercial agricultural investment in these communities will gradually accelerate the improvement of their respective local economies; reduce unemployment rate and elevate the standard of living. That is the future we aspire.

As Nelson Mandela once said, “everything is impossible until someone does it” — Petros Farms embraces this challenge.
We are a company unlike any other company. We are not just an egg production and distribution enterprise; we are the growth engine and solutions for your business. Our mission is simple: Be the constant, consistent and reliable solution for businesses in need of Table Eggs for operations.
We believe that in the near future, Petros Farms of today will have achieved its vision. Petros Farms will then remain the rock, the foundation upon which future generations will chart a new course to tackle the challenges of a new era while maintaining our core values: unparalleled Customer Experience, unwavering commitment to Employee Empowerment and Community Development.
