The Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) said it is collaborating with the African Export-Import Bank (Afrexim Bank) to foster agricultural innovation in the country.
The ACCI in a statement yesterday said it was also partnering with Autodex Nigeria Ltd (ANL) and Henan Qianli Machinery Co Ltd (QNL), to drive the initiative.
According to the ACCI President, Emeka Obegolu, SAN, the chamber will do this through its Maiden Edition of the Farm, Food, and Allied Technologies (FARMFATECH) Expo 2024 in Abuja.
Obegolu said the event would serve as a dynamic platform for showcasing cutting-edge agro-mechanisation technologies and innovative food processing solutions, fostering strategic partnerships in the agriculture sector.
“The expo will offer a valuable platform for stakeholders eager to explore collaborative opportunities aimed at boosting the agricultural value chain and improving financing models for this vital sector.
“The Expo represents a crucial aspect of agricultural marketing, a field upon which individuals, firms, and governments depend for their survival and growth, recognising the importance of this event.
“The ACCI is committed to fostering collaborations that advance the objectives of all involved parties through effective marketing strategies and skills,” he said.
