Women In Agribusiness, NIGERIA 2025
“Unlocking Women’s Potential for Sustainable Agrifood Systems”
The Women in Agribusiness Special Day at NIAEXPO 2025 brings together female stakeholders across the agricultural ecosystem — from smallholder farmers to agri-entrepreneurs, policymakers, development partners, and youth leaders — to engage in dialogue, share innovations, and build actionable partnerships for inclusive growth in agriculture.
Across Nigeria and the African continent, women play a central role in food production, processing, distribution, and nutrition.
Empowering women in agriculture is not only a matter of social justice — it is a powerful economic strategy. W
Across Nigeria and Africa, women are driving innovation in food systems, leading cooperatives, managing agribusinesses, and influencing consumption patterns.
What women need is a sustained, inclusive, and enabling ecosystem that supports their journey — from smallholder production to value-added agribusiness and export readiness.
