As Nigeria continues to diversify its economy beyond oil, agriculture and non-oil exports are emerging as powerful drivers of growth, job creation, food security, and foreign exchange earnings.
To advance this conversation, FirstBank will host the 5th edition of its Agric and Export Expo on 16 and 17 September 2026 under the theme: “From Farm to Global Markets: Building Nigeria’s Export Value Chain.”
The two-day event will bring together policymakers, regulators, agribusiness leaders, exporters, investors, and development partners to discuss practical solutions for strengthening Nigeria’s agricultural value chain and expanding access to global markets.
