Lagos set to host Growtech West Africa 2027 as Africa’s agriculture tech revolution gathers global momentum

Lagos, Nigeria, has been announced as the host city for Growtech West Africa 2027, positioning the region at the centre of a fast-evolving agricultural transformation across the continent.

The upcoming event is expected to bring together global agritech innovators, investors, policymakers, and food industry stakeholders at a time when West Africa is facing rising pressure to strengthen food systems, boost productivity, and adopt climate-smart farming solutions.

Organisers say the choice of Lagos reflects Nigeria’s growing influence in Africa’s agricultural value chain and its expanding role as a hub for innovation-driven food production.

The exhibition is also expected to showcase cutting-edge technologies in irrigation, mechanisation, greenhouse farming, and digital agriculture. With food security becoming a critical issue across Africa, Growtech West Africa 2027 is being positioned as more than an exhibition but a strategic platform for shaping the future of farming and food supply across the region.

The event is anticipated to attract strong international participation, reinforcing West Africa’s importance in the global conversation on sustainable agriculture and food resilience.
