Agribusiness Conference in Uyo to Boost Investment and Food Security

The 5th Agribusiness Roundtable International Conference is scheduled for October 25–28, 2026, in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. The conference aims to gather investors, government officials, financial institutions, and agribusiness executives to explore investment opportunities and enhance food production and industrial development.

The theme for this year is “Accelerating Agribusiness Transformation: Unlocking Value Chains to Achieve Food Security, Nutrition Sustainability, Job Creation, Poverty Alleviation, and National Prosperity.” The event will facilitate investment matchmaking, business partnerships, and technology transfer while addressing challenges such as inadequate financing and poor infrastructure. A significant focus will be on access to capital, with discussions on agricultural infrastructure, blended finance, and private-sector investment.

The conference will also cover topics like agro-processing, storage, and climate-smart agriculture, alongside the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area, aiming to improve cross-border trade and market access for Nigerian and African agribusinesses.
