The Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), in partnership with Autodex Nigeria Limited, has announced the second edition of the Farm, Food and Allied Technology (Farmfatech) Expo 2025 — an event designed to drive agricultural innovation, strengthen food security, and expand agribusiness opportunities across Africa.
Scheduled to hold from November 10 to 12 in Abuja, the three-day exhibition is expected to attract over 500 exhibitors, 76 participating countries, and more than half a million visitors.
President of ACCI, Dr. Emeka Obegolu, described the Expo as "a gateway to modern agribusiness partnerships" that will deepen collaboration between Nigeria, China, and other global players in agricultural sustainability.
Represented by the Chamber's Director General, Mr. Agabaidu Chukwuemeka Jideani, Dr. Obegolu said the Chamber remains committed to economic diversification and industrial growth, with agriculture as a cornerstone.

"Our passion for Nigeria's agricultural growth is at the heart of this Expo. We believe it will enhance productivity, strengthen food security, and create more jobs across the value chain," he stated.
Autodex Nigeria Limited's Managing Director, Mr. Tony Ifeakandu, said the company's mission is to provide farmers with efficient, technology-driven tools that improve yields and reduce costs.
"At Autodex, we believe food security depends on productive mechanisation and smart logistics," he said. "Our role is to equip farmers with clean-energy mobility solutions that boost efficiency and market access."
He added that the company is developing battery-swap and charging infrastructure to support modern agro-mechanisation and reliable farm-to-market systems.
Supported by Afreximbank and other partners, Farmfatech 2025 will showcase innovations in hybrid machinery, electric mobility, and food processing technologies. The organisers say the event will create a platform for knowledge exchange, investment, and cross-border trade — key drivers of Africa's growing agritech ecosystem.
