Farmers and other stakeholders have converged in Abuja for this year’s Nigerian International Agricultural Exhibition.

The three days event, which began on Tuesday brought many international technology developers and service providers to network and seek more opportunities to expand the reach of their products and services.

Vegetable, livestock and crop farmers and other agro processors were also on hand to see the new products and services available in the sector and to network with other farmers.

Critical players in the seed sector, mechanization and dairy were also on hand to interface with the farmers and have back-to-back business interactions.

The Co-Convener of the event, Ambassador Abiodun Olaniyi, said the event would continue to play critical roles in bringing together all the actors in the country’s agricultural sector to look at ways of boosting productivity and food security.

“This is the 6th edition of the Nigeria International Agriculture Expo, and it has been a remarkable journey. This year, all the players in the agricultural value chain, from farm to fork, are represented.  It’s one of the best international exhibitions in Nigeria, with participants from the U.S, U.K, Estonia, Turkey, China, and India,” he said.

Ambassador Olaniyi underlined the expo’s importance in contributing to sustainable food security in Nigeria, saying, “This expo is our contribution to food sustainability in Nigeria. It’s not just about organising an event; it’s about making a lasting impact. The NIAE has become a mainstay in Abuja, and its influence will continue to grow over time.’’
