Our Story

Importation is the single biggest obstacle to building a pharmaceutical business in Nigeria. We exist to remove it.

Yellow Drugs Limited was built around one observation: talented Nigerian entrepreneurs keep abandoning good pharmaceutical products, not for lack of demand, but because getting them made and imported is too complicated to navigate alone.

The Reality

Why importation is such a big deal in Nigeria

Nigeria's pharmaceutical market depends heavily on imports, and India remains one of its largest sources of affordable, quality generic drugs. But the path from an idea to shelf ready stock is longer and harder than it should be.

Minimum Order Quantities

Manufacturers want scale you don't have yet

Most Indian manufacturers are set up for large volume clients, leaving first time Nigerian importers priced out or ignored.

Regulatory Maze

NAFDAC documentation is unforgiving

Registration requirements are strict and detailed, and a single missing document can delay a product for months.

Forex & Logistics

Payment and shipping add fresh risk

Sourcing forex, paying a manufacturer abroad, and coordinating freight and customs clearance require experience most first timers don't have.

Market Access

Landing goods is only half the job

Even after clearing customs, getting products into Nigeria's major drug markets requires trusted, existing relationships.
