MyFood Angels: Fresh from Farm to Doorstep

In today’s fast-paced world, many Nigerians are searching for smarter ways to buy food, not just in terms of availability, but also hygiene, freshness, and convenience. The open market is no longer the only option, and for many, it’s not even the preferred one. Stepping into this gap is MyFood Angels, a tech-driven food delivery platform that connects consumers with clean, farm-fresh produce and freshly made meals—delivered right to their doorsteps.

Founded by Olapeju Umah and her partners Daniel and Femi, the idea for MyFood Angels was born from Olapeju’s own experiences living in Lekki, Lagos, where accessing fresh food without the chaos of markets was a daily struggle. Today, the company offers a full-service online food delivery system that serves individuals and businesses that either lack the time or the will to navigate traditional markets. From fruits and vegetables to juices and cooked meals, the platform handles it all.

But MyFood Angels is more than just a delivery app. It’s reshaping the entire food supply chain in Nigeria. The company works directly with smallholder farmers to source produce, which is then cleaned, processed, and packaged under hygienic conditions before being dispatched to customers. This model helps reduce the over 40% post-harvest losses Nigerian farmers face, while ensuring that consumers receive fresher and safer food.

With technology at its core, the platform streamlines food distribution, creating a more efficient, transparent, and sustainable process. For consumers, it means access to high-quality food with just a few taps on their phones. For farmers, it opens up new markets, better prices, and quicker sales cycles. This direct-to-consumer model cuts out unnecessary middlemen and reduces delays that typically spoil or devalue fresh produce.

The rise of services like MyFood Angels represents a larger shift in how food moves across cities and towns in Nigeria. In urban areas especially, digital platforms are replacing trips to the market with seamless online shopping experiences. As more people embrace this change, small farmers—who grow most of the country’s produce—are beginning to thrive in ways they never could before. The growth of this ecosystem also helps tackle food waste, boosts income for producers, and improves nutritional access in cities.

As the company continues to expand, its impact goes beyond logistics.
MyFood Angels is building a smarter, cleaner, and more accessible food economy—one that works for both consumers and producers. With a bold vision to become Africa’s number one food delivery and shop.
