African Farming, in association with 151 Products Ltd, is set to organise the African Farming’s Agroinvestment Summit in London from 4 -6 June 2018, focusing on the growth of agriculture and agribusinesses across West Africa

As the event is expected to attract a wide range of stakeholders like government officials, importers, distributors, agribusiness owners, African farming has received endorsements from Nigeria’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment.

“We are confident that several new relationships would arise from the networking interactions amongst participants,” said Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in the letter of endorsement.

The event is expected to bring together more than 450 global CEOs in agro-food and allied industries from Europe, Asia and Africa.

“It is our belief that events like this would help attract much-needed investments and technical know-how to the Agro-Food sector in Nigeria,” according to Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment.

Representatives from both the ministry will be presented at the event.
