The expo is set to attract participants from 76 countries, featuring over 500 exhibitors with a targeted audience of 500,000.
Agrotech or Agricultural technology is the application of techniques in agriculture, horticulture, and aquaculture to improve yield, efficiency, and profitability.

“This Expo is designed to foster international partnerships, facilitate knowledge exchange, and catalyze substantial business transactions that will drive growth within Nigeria’s agricultural sector.
“Here, we bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders to explore transformative investment and partnership opportunities that promise to shape the future of agriculture in Nigeria and beyond,” Obegulu said.
ACCI reaffirms its commitment to supporting agricultural stakeholders as the FARMFATECH Expo provides a unique platform to showcase the latest advancements in agro-mechanization and food processing technologies.
The Abuja Chamber pledged innovative support to the agricultural sector which remains a crucial contributor to Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
“ACCI underscores its goal to spotlight investment opportunities in the agro-allied sector, drive policy support for the industry, and promote initiatives that foster economic growth.
“Through policy advocacy, sustainability initiatives, and trade promotion, the Agriculture Trade Group would empower agricultural stakeholders, support research, education, and rural development” the chamber added.
