Why you shouldn’t miss FirstBank’s Agric and Export Expo 2026

Nigeria's economy is shifting away from oil dependence, with agriculture and exports gaining prominence in driving growth, creating jobs, ensuring food security, and generating foreign exchange. To further this dialogue, FirstBank will host its fifth Agric and Export Expo on September 16-17, 2026, with the aim of strengthening Nigeria's agricultural value chain and expanding access to global markets.

The event will convene policymakers, regulators, agribusiness leaders, exporters, investors, and development partners to explore practical solutions for bolstering agricultural productivity, enhancing food systems, and opening up new market opportunities.

Keynote speaker Hon. Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Senator Abubakar Kyari, will offer insights on boosting agricultural output and fortifying food systems. Governor of Niger State, Alhaji Mohammed Umar Bago, will deliver a goodwill address. Renowned industry figures will share their perspectives on emerging market prospects, export financing, value addition, technological advancements, and policy measures to enable Nigerian enterprises to compete on a global scale.

The FirstBank Agric and Export Expo serves as a crucial platform for fostering collaboration, innovation, and investment across the agriculture and export sectors. Attendees, including farmers, exporters, agribusiness owners, investors, and entrepreneurs, can expect a wealth of valuable information, potential partnerships, and discovery of fresh growth avenues.
