Speaking

into other sectors like agriculture and food by bringing Rayna Roasted Oat
Flour to the market with the aim of providing healthier options to “the daily
nutritional needs of the consumer”.
He said:
“We’re an investment company and we take into opportunities when we see
it.
“The launch of Rayna Roasted Oat Flour is not just about making money; as
a business enterprise, we also aim at creating value and giving society the
best product. The decision to deal in Oat is hinged on the health benefits it
gives to our consumers and the general public.
“And the partnership we are forming with our distributors is to ensure we
have a means of creating work for other people as well, so it’s a two pronged
system we are running here, we are creating value for the consumers and then
creating convivial atmosphere for our partners to operate.
“What we bring into the market is a premium product selling at market
value price. It is like we are bringing Mercedes and selling it to you at a
Toyota price. We’re bringing in the best product to the market in terms of
value for price.
“It all began in year 2014 but major plans of creating this product
started in 2017, the product planning stage, the designs and qualities of the
product itself show the time we have spent planning Rayna Roasted Oat Flour.
“We have had challenges which are peculiar to Nigerian business
environment such as disappointment from vendors, pricing, logistics, staffing
and funding.
“I don’t see any other competition at the moment but we will keep a closer
look at the market, we don’t expect to dominate the market today or tomorrow
but we will break through and dominate the market just the way we’ve grown our
other businesses.”
Also commenting on the unique features of Rayna Roasted Oat Flour, the Chief
Operating Officer, Bukola Adedigba said:
“Rayna Roasted Oat Flour is a premium food product made from whole grain
oats.
“We have packaged Rayna Roasted Oat Flour to make sure it is free of any
sort of contamination that may arise especially for those having allergies. So,
what we have is premium soluble fibre oat that is not mixed with any other
ingredient; the product is roasted and can be used for multipurpose – you can
use it for anything; to cook, bake, as a thickener and as your swallow.
