Often decision makers in agrofood Industry from all over West Africa attend the expo in quest of business development benefits. On an annual and regional basis, more than US20billion is committed to import of processed and packaged foods, not minding the abundance of arable land and good weather for agriculture. More than 90% of inputs and machinery deployed to agriculture in the region are also imported from overseas, which figure comes to more than US4billion per annum and is projected to grow by a 10.6% factor between 2018 and 2019.
Owing to the growing popularity of Agrikexpo, attendee figures in 2017, expanded partnerships with agrofood trade associations and intensified promotional activity across the region, over 10,000 trade visitors are expected from different countries of West Africa in 2018.
Many National and State Agricultural Development Agencies and their representatives would be at the event and would be seeking direct interactions with solution providers and to see products on parade. Most States today have specific areas of agro-investments needs and offers to prospective partners, including abundant arable land for cultivation and husbandry.
