An international agribusiness exhibition, Growtech West Africa, has pledged to connect global agricultural innovation with local market needs as West African countries intensify efforts to strengthen food security and reduce dependence on food imports.
In a statement, the organisers disclosed that the exhibition would debut in Lagos from 26 to 28 January 2027, at the Landmark Centre.
They noted that the event comes as governments and private sector operators across the region push for improved agricultural productivity, modern farming systems, and stronger local food production capacity.
According to the organisers, West Africa currently spends over $50bn annually on food imports despite the region’s growing agricultural potential.
