In his words”Through this initiative, we reaffirm our collective commitment to advancing Nigeria’s national priorities on food security, economic diversification, and export-led growth.
A major highlight of AGROMEQA EXPO 2026 will be the official declaration by the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Kashim Shettima, GCON”.

“In addition, the President of NACCIMA, Engr. Jani Ibrahim, OON, mni, will deliver the keynote address on “Agricultural Export and the Role of Private Capital in Its Value Chain.” and the Expo will bring together a distinguished mix of stakeholders, including:

He explained that across its two days, AGROMEQA EXPO 2026 will feature exhibitions of advanced agricultural technologies, including mechanised equipment, precision farming tools, irrigation systems, agro-processing innovations, and climate-smart solutions.

“It will also host high-level plenary sessions, technical discussions, interactive workshops, and B2B engagements designed to foster synergy, mobilize capital, and promote investment partnerships and technology transfer”.

“Beyond showcasing innovation, the Expo will serve as a strategic investment marketplace, connecting local producers, agritech developers, and agribusinesses with investors seeking viable projects in mechanization, processing, logistics, and export operations.? and these opportunities will align with Nigeria’s drive to expand private-sector participation and strengthen linkages to international markets”.

Chief Emeka Obegolu said a special live demonstration arena will showcase cutting-edge farming technologies, while a dedicated agro-processing and packaging platform will spotlight opportunities for local value addition. To nurture the next generation of agricultural innovators, we will also host a Schools’ Agro Exhibition and Competition.

By deepening mechanisation, innovation, and strategic investment, we aim to unlock the full potential of Nigeria’s agricultural sector, creating new jobs, strengthening rural economies, and enhancing competitiveness in global export markets”.

“We are confident that the Expo will catalyse investment inflows, technology-transfer opportunities, and strategic collaborations that will yield sustainable economic value and contribute to long-term sectoral transformation.
We therefore call on all relevant Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), private sector operators, development partners, and the international community to engage actively with this landmark event. Collaboration and capital mobilisation remain essential to achieving sustainable agricultural transformation and positioning Nigeria as a key player in agro-export across Africa”.
