Nigeria’s ambition to build a competitive, industrialised food economy will take centre stage as agrofood Nigeria 2026 convenes key stakeholders in Lagos from March 24 to 26 at the Landmark Centre, Victoria Island Annex.
Now in its 11th edition, the exhibition and conference will headline the Netherlands — the world’s second-largest agricultural exporter — as Guest of Honour, underscoring a strategic push to accelerate Nigeria’s agro-industrial transformation.
Backed by the Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture, the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, and the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the event comes at a critical time. Although agriculture contributes over 22 per cent to Nigeria’s GDP, challenges such as weak processing capacity, post-harvest losses, food inflation and import dependence continue to limit value creation.
The three-day event will bring together policymakers, investors, manufacturers, buyers and technology providers to advance scalable solutions in processing, packaging, cold chain, logistics and sustainable production.
Exhibitors from more than 15 countries, including Germany, China, Belgium and South Africa’s Western Cape, are expected to participate, reinforcing the platform’s international standing.
Conference sessions will feature macroeconomic and trade insights from leading economists, with a focus on food inflation, export competitiveness and opportunities under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
Organisers say the 2026 edition signals a shift from potential to execution, positioning Nigeria to move from primary production to export-ready agro-industrial value chains.
