A varied and impressive throng attended the expo, which was held at the Police Grounds on Oba Akinjobi Way, GRA Lagos. Key industry stakeholders, interested members of the public, and seasoned farmers and creative agricultural startups were among the participants. As farmers from all over the region gathered to display and sell a vast array of fresh, locally grown vegetables, this year’s farm fair, which was held in honor of World Food Day, stood out as a vibrant exposition.
Families and guests bought premium fruits, vegetables, grains, and other agricultural items at reasonable prices while taking in the lively ambiance. In addition to giving farmers a chance to interact with customers directly, the fair emphasized the value of promoting sustainable farming methods and local agriculture. All ages were engaged by the exhibitions and activities, which promoted a sense of community.
