The Agro-Industrialisation Blueprint (AIB) says its 2026 Inaugural Summit on Agribusiness will accelerate agro-industrial transformation across Africa.

The initiative’s lead advocate, Dr Godfrey Sunday, stated this in a statement on behalf of the organisation on Friday in Abuja.

Sunday said the summit, scheduled to hold on Nov. 12 in Abuja, would also feature the unveiling of the AIB digital portal.

The event is themed “Unlocking Africa’s Agricultural Potential through Agro-Industrialisation, Investment, Innovation and Inclusive Growth.

Sunday said the summit would strengthen partnerships, mobilise investment and promote a shift from primary agricultural production towards processing, value addition, industrial development and job creation.

He said the programme would also feature high-level policy dialogue, discussions on agricultural value chains and the Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones (SAPZ), and the AIB Africa Agro-Industrial Investment Forum. (NAN)
