With support from the UK Government, Propcom+ and Welcome2Africa International have launched a high-level Agribusiness Deal Room aimed at catalysing investment, strengthening value chains, and accelerating sustainable growth across Nigeria’s agricultural sector.
The initiative, powered through the UK Government’s climate-smart agriculture programme, convenes key stakeholders, investors, and high-potential agribusinesses to unlock private capital and advance inclusive, market-led development.

It reflects the UK’s continued commitment to enhancing Nigeria’s agribusiness landscape while promoting climate resilience and economic transformation.
The two-day Deal Room, taking place from November 18 to 19 in Lagos, is expected to generate more than £5 million in potential investments and trade commitments.
Over 20 pre-vetted, investment-ready enterprises will pitch opportunities across priority sectors such as grains, cassava and starch derivatives, livestock, bioethanol, food processing, mechanisation, agri-tech, and renewable energy. All featured businesses have demonstrated strong commercial viability and scalable growth models.

“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,” said Olumide Ojo, Strategy Director at Propcom+.
“By connecting high-potential SMEs with investors, we aim to drive capital mobilisation that strengthens market systems, improves resilience, and expands economic opportunities for farmers, women, and rural communities.”
Echoing this vision, Welcome2Africa International CEO, Bamidele Seun Owoola, highlighted the importance of attracting long-term capital into the sector:
“At Welcome2Africa International, our focus is to catalyse sustainable investment into Africa’s agrifood sector. Co-hosting the Deal Room with Propcom+ presents a unique opportunity to position Nigeria’s most promising agribusinesses before global investors.
This platform is fundamentally about unlocking capital and forging long-term investment partnerships that deliver shared prosperity.”
The Deal Room is a key component of Propcom+’s broader mandate to strengthen Nigeria’s agricultural markets, empower SMEs, and stimulate low-carbon, climate-smart growth.
Following the event, Propcom+ will continue supporting participating enterprises through technical assistance, investor linkages, due diligence, and transaction facilitation to help them move toward investment closure.
