Agribusiness
Given the urgent need for food security and sustainable food production, agriculture is emerging as one of the key mainstays of the Nigerian economy. And with renewed focus on diversification away from a hydrocarbon dependent economy and growing the non-oil sector, concerted efforts geared towards incentivising private sector participation, improving productivity and increasing the contribution of the sector to the GDP are taking center stage.
Undoubtedly, Nigeria is endowed with enormous agricultural resources and a huge consumer market. What is important, however, is getting professional and qualified insights into the different segments of the market for investment. With an extensive local and international network abroad, the Delegation of German Industry and Commerce in Nigeria is uniquely placed to advise and support businesses and investors seeking to explore the huge potentials of the sector. The Agribusiness Unit serves as an information, networking and advisory platform for the Nigerian agriculture and food industry.
