Nigeria

We were delighted to receive a delegation of senior members of the National Agricultural Foundation of Nigeria (NAFN), who visited CCFRA as part of an agri-promotion and fact-finding mission to the UK. The NAFN's mission is to promote the agri-related activities of Nigeria and improve its economic development and income generation. The agricultural sector provides employment to around 70% of the Nigerian workforce and contributes over 40% of GDP. The visit included discussions with staff from CCFRA's Agriculture Department and a tour of our wider facilities.
