Green Agric West Africa Expo (GAWAE) Ikeja

The Green Agric West Africa Expo (GAWAE) is an international trade fair accompanied by a high-level conference, dedicated to the practical levers for building a sustainable, competitive and future-proof agricultural sector in West Africa. The event takes place at the CCI Conference & Exhibition Centre in Ikeja, a modern exhibition and conference venue located at the heart of Lagos’s main commercial district.

GAWAE is organised by AgriQuest Africa Network Ltd., a specialist network focused on agricultural and food systems that brings together stakeholders from business, government, finance and research in a targeted and structured way. The exhibition focuses on practical, market-ready solutions across the entire agricultural value chain. These include climate-resilient crop production, digital farm management systems, irrigation and soil solutions, as well as modern food processing, packaging, logistics and market access. The offering is complemented by services in agricultural finance, insurance, advisory and certification, alongside renewable energy solutions—particularly solar and off-grid systems for farms and agri-processing enterprises.

In terms of content, GAWAE addresses the region’s most pressing challenges, including food security, rising production costs, sustainable soil and water management, and the economic empowerment of smallholder farmers and agri-entrepreneurs. At the same time, the expo makes clear that sustainable agriculture can only deliver lasting impact if it is economically viable. Against this backdrop, GAWAE brings investors, start-ups, technology providers, processors, traders and policymakers together in one place, highlighting concrete opportunities for investment and collaboration. Key features of the programme include thematic expert forums, curated matchmaking formats between companies and capital providers, and showcases of innovative business models and green technologies.

Exhibitors represent sectors such as agricultural technology, seeds and inputs, machinery, renewable energy, food processing, logistics, finance and consultancy. The event is therefore aimed at professional visitors from agriculture, agribusiness, the food industry, trade, energy, financial services, the public sector and research.

Located in close proximity to Lagos’s international airport, the CCI Conference & Exhibition Centre in Ikeja is well connected to the city’s main transport routes and offers modern infrastructure for both exhibitors and visitors. This makes it an ideal venue for bringing together sustainable agriculture, innovation and economic development in West Africa.

The Green Agric West Africa Expo (GAWAE) will take place on 2 days from Wednesday, 25. February to Thursday, 26. February 2026 in Ikeja.
