Deals worth over $100m were sealed at the just-concluded Agriculture Summit Africa held in Abuja to strengthen the agriculture value chain, operators in the industry have said.
This was announced in a statement from the organisers of the summit on Thursday, saying that the deals were part of the Nigeria Feed, Fodder, and Livestock Investment Deal Room, Series 1.
Convened under the theme ‘Transitioning from Scarcity to Security,’ the summit, supported by Sterling One Foundation alongside other private and public sector partners, including the African Union, International Finance Corporation, Leadway Assurance, Benue State Government, and Sterling Bank was held against the backdrop of acute food insecurity and rising climate challenges across Africa.
“ASA provided a platform for driving innovative solutions and facilitating transformative partnerships,” the statement stated.
“ASA is a platform for addressing Africa’s pressing agricultural challenges, and the deals signed at the Nigeria Feed, Fodder, and Livestock Investment Deal Room reflect the growing confidence in strategic partnerships to unlock the potential of agricultural value chains and drive sustainable growth across the continent.”
