Mr Kayode Falowo, President and Chairman of Council of the Nigerian-British Chamber of Commerce said that the Agricultural value chain is a key industry for economic development. Harnessing its trade and export potential will not only create wealth and job opportunities, but will also boost the nation’s GDP, reduce poverty and insecurity. As the largest sector employing two-thirds of the nation’s citizens, we recognise the significance of agriculture and cannot undermine its transformative power.
