Nigeria’s premier federal agricultural convocation uniting over 18,000 farmers, innovators, agribusinesses, and policymakers to advance national food sovereignty.
AFAN • Nasarawa State • Federal Ministry of Agriculture
The National Agricultural Show was established in 2007 as a strategic tripartite initiative uniting the All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN), the Nasarawa State Government (NSSG), and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Born out of the urgent need to create a dedicated national convocation, it serves as the premier annual benchmark for Nigerian agricultural progress.
Formally incorporated in 2008 as the National Agricultural Foundation of Nigeria (NAFN), the Foundation operates with a statutory non-governmental mandate to organize the annual show, advocate agricultural policy harmonization, foster public-private agribusiness investment, and empower grassroots farming communities across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
Exhibiting the immense richness of Nigeria's agro-ecological zones, staple crops, livestock breeds, and homegrown agricultural technologies.
Uniting grassroots smallholders, commercial agro-processors, financial institutions, research institutes, and federal policymakers on one platform.
Diagnosing sector-wide production bottlenecks, facilitating knowledge transfer, and catalyzing sustainable agribusiness investments nationwide.
The National Agricultural Show brings together people, products, technologies, knowledge, and opportunities across Nigeria's agricultural value chain. Explore the core experiences and pavilions that define the annual convocation.
