Nigeria, with a population of over 170 million, is currently the most viable marketplace for agriculture in Africa, by virtue of its massive arable land, growing infrastructure, and high demand for agricultural consumables. These qualities attract a wide array of national and international Exhibitors and visitors, who eagerly look forward to making business-to-business connections. Nigeria is, no doubt, a choice destination for Agribusiness development/investments, given the focus of Government on transforming the sector for food security, increased export earnings, job creation and other economic benefits. Nigeria is the hub of trade in West Africa with the implication that buyers come from nearby countries to procure from Nigeria. In that regard, there is a great need for new investments, partnerships and appropriate technology, including an increase in value chain activities for quick results. With Nigeria's agricultural sector being reshaped and reinvigorated as the center of the country's economic growth and prosperity, NIAFE 2017 is a pioneering trade event which helps participants identify key business opportunities, technological solutions, share best-practice and form the strategic relationships that will drive this new period of market growth.
