NBCC's Olashore Advocates Integrated Food Ecosystem
During an advocacy roundtable on "Unlocking Nigeria’s Agriculture Supply Chain for a Resilient Domestic Production System," Mr. Abimbola Olashore, President of the Nigerian-British Chamber of Commerce (NBCC), stated that Nigeria requires an integrated food ecosystem to achieve food security. He highlighted the importance of agriculture to the economy, noting its role in employment and economic diversification.
Olashore pointed out that challenges throughout the agricultural supply chain, including access to inputs, finance, and market access, hinder productivity and increase food costs. Mr. Abubakar A.
Bello, Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director of Nigeria Export and Import Bank (NEXIM), represented by Ms. Daniella Jarikre-Ikazoboh, identified three strategic priorities for coordinated action, emphasizing the development of agro-industrial processing zones and effective public-private partnerships.
