Why Nigeria
Africa's Agricultural Powerhouse
With over 33 million hectares of arable land, a young and growing workforce, and a federal government increasingly committed to agricultural transformation, Nigeria represents one of the most compelling agribusiness frontiers in the world.
The EU remains one of Nigeria's top trading partners. Under the EUNAP mandate, we are working to deepen this relationship — making it easier for European businesses to invest, source, and partner with credible Nigerian operators.
