The U.S. Soybean Export Council hosted its signature “Nigeria: NOW” conference this month, bringing together stakeholders across the government and private sectors, including poultry producers, nutritionists, and more. Participants discussed multiple topics, including how to address Nigeria’s protein gap, trade, and economic growth. Speaking at the event, Acting U.S. Consul General JoEllen Gorg said, ”The U.S. Soybean Export Council’s conference marks a pivotal milestone in creating a pathway for mutual prosperity and shared economic success. By addressing Nigeria’s protein gap, fostering innovation, and promoting best practices, the U.S. soy industry is helping to build a resilient agricultural sector in Nigeria, ensuring long-term food security and economic stability.” USSEC said it’s enthusiastic about the opportunities arising from the collaboration with the U.S. Mission in Nigeria. It’s crucial in helping export-ready U.S. companies build relationships with Nigerian agribusinesses, training Nigerians in new agricultural practices, and promoting U.S. soy in Nigeria’s feed and food.
