Welcome to the 5th Edition Agri-Investment and Capital Markets Conference (AICM 2025)
Despite its vast agricultural potential, Nigeria faces challenges in scaling its agro-value chains due to inadequate financing, weak infrastructure, and inefficient market systems. The 5th Agri-Investment and Capital Markets Conference (AICM) 2025 aims to catalyze transformative investments in Africa’s agro-value chains. With an ambitious investment target of $50 million.
AICM 2025 will serve as a premier platform to bridge critical investment gaps and enhance export competitiveness within the agribusiness sector. The 2025 theme is particularly aligned with current trends and efforts to priorities Nigeria’s diversification of the economy, and tap into potential lucrative global agro-export markets.
Building on the momentum of previous editions, which collectively facilitated over $12 million in commitments and (32) strategic partnership deals, AICM 2025 is uniquely positioned to deliver impactful outcomes. The event will connect diverse stakeholders, including investors, agribusiness leaders, and policymakers, to enable sustainable growth, resilience, and global market integration.
