About EAS 2026
Eweko Agribusiness Summit 2026 connects farmers and production realities with the markets, infrastructure, finance, technology, policy and partnerships needed to build a more resilient and inclusive food system.
The Summit
EAS 2026 is a one-day hybrid convening designed to bring together farmers, businesses, investors, policymakers, researchers, technology providers and development partners.
The inaugural edition focuses on Southwest Nigeria as a practical starting point for wider regional learning. Epe provides a distinctive setting where farming, fisheries, aggregation, logistics, growing settlements and metropolitan demand meet.
The Summit is intentionally larger than a discussion about production alone. It looks at the full journey from production to market while keeping food loss and waste as a strong cross-cutting priority.
Core Question
Why Southwest Nigeria
Southwest Nigeria combines major consumption centres, diverse production zones, active agribusinesses, universities, research institutions, financial institutions, transport corridors, processors and fast-growing food markets.
A peri-urban food economy where production, fisheries, aggregation, logistics and metropolitan demand meet.
Farmers, producer groups, buyers, processors, investors, government, researchers, technology providers and development partners.
A practical Resilient and Inclusive Food Systems Roadmap grounded in evidence, ownership and follow-through.
Programme Architecture
Food loss and waste is embedded across the programme rather than treated as an isolated environmental topic.
Seed and inputs, good agricultural practices, irrigation, mechanisation, climate information, soil and water management, food safety, production planning and inclusive participation.
Harvest timing, handling, sorting, grading, packaging, pre-cooling, storage, cold chain, transport, processing, preservation, redistribution and food safety.
Farmer organisation, aggregation models, buyer specifications, structured off-take, demand forecasting, wholesale and retail markets, institutional procurement and value addition.
Working capital, asset finance, insurance, blended finance, shared infrastructure, de-risking and investable partnership opportunities.
Loss measurement, traceability, digital platforms, market and logistics data, standards, research, policy coherence and practical monitoring.
Design Principles
The inaugural edition is deliberately designed to remain practical, inclusive and focused on outcomes.
Farmers and producer organisations contribute meaningfully across the programme.
Production, markets, infrastructure, finance, technology, research and policy are treated as connected parts of one system.
Production and investment discussions respond to verified demand, quality, timing, volumes and commercial viability.
The Summit distinguishes verified evidence from assumptions and makes better local loss data a priority.
Sessions must lead to defined recommendations, partnerships, pilots, commitments or technical work.
Loss reduction must protect food safety and nutritional value while considering women, youth and small enterprises.
