The United Kingdom, UK, Government, through its climate-smart agriculture programme, Propcom+, in partnership with Welcome2Africa International, is set to host a Strategic Agribusiness Deal Room aimed at mobilising private capital into Nigeria’s agricultural value chains and advancing inclusive, market-led economic growth.
A statement by Propcom+ said the Agribusiness Deal Room is designed to catalyse partnerships, unlock investment, and accelerate sustainable growth across the country’s agricultural sector.
It noted that the initiative reaffirms the UK’s commitment to strengthening agribusiness value chains, promoting sustainability, and driving broad-based economic development.
Scheduled to take place from November 18 to 19, 2025, in Lagos, the high-impact investment marketplace is expected to catalyse more than £5 million in potential investment and trade commitments.
The Deal Room will feature over 20 pre-vetted, investment-ready agribusinesses operating across priority sectors such as grains, cassava and starch derivatives, livestock, bioethanol, food processing, mechanisation, agri-tech, and renewable energy.
Each enterprise demonstrates strong growth potential, commercial traction, and scalability.
Strategy Director at Propcom+, Olumide Ojo, was quoted by the statement as saying “The Deal Room represents a strategic opportunity to accelerate private investment into Nigeria’s agrifood sector and deepen the pipeline of climate-smart, inclusive enterprises.
“By connecting high-potential SMEs with investors, we aim to drive capital mobilisation that strengthens market systems, enhances resilience, and expands economic opportunities for farmers, women, and rural communities.”
Welcome2Africa International CEO, Bamidele Seun Owoola, echoed this view, emphasising the platform’s role in facilitating cross-border capital flows.
“At Welcome2Africa International, our focus is to catalyse sustainable investment into Africa’s agrifood sector. Co-hosting the Deal Room with Propcom+ offers a unique opportunity to present Nigeria’s most promising agribusinesses to global investors.
“This platform is ultimately about unlocking capital and forging long-term partnerships that deliver shared prosperity,” Owoola said.
Propcom+ further stated that the Deal Room is part of its broader efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s agricultural markets, empower SMEs, and promote low-carbon, climate-smart development.
After the event, Propcom+ said it will continue providing technical assistance, investor engagement, due diligence support, and transaction facilitation to help participating enterprises advance toward investment closure.
