Our Story

A Decade of Delivering Freshness

Founded in 2015 in Lagos, Dariltweens Nigeria Limited began with a clear mission: to supply high-quality frozen seafood to Nigeria's growing market at competitive, accessible prices.

From a single office in Ikotun, Lagos, we built relationships with international fishing fleets and cold-chain logistics partners to import Atlantic Herring, Mackerel, Croaker, and Horse Mackerel — species that are the lifeblood of Nigeria's food markets.

As we grew, we diversified into agricultural exports — leveraging Nigeria's natural abundance in cashew nuts, sesame seeds, and hibiscus flowers to generate foreign exchange and build global trade relationships.

Today, DNL serves wholesalers, retailers, restaurants, and food businesses across all 36 states of Nigeria, underpinned by our cold storage facilities, a skilled workforce, and an uncompromising commitment to quality.
