UPCOMING EVENT
AGRICON 2024
AGRICON 2024 is a two-day event scheduled for May, 21st and 22nd, with a blueprint geared towards rejuvenating the oil palm sector as a result of the increased agitation for the diversification of the Nigerian economy to non-oil to fast-track economic development of the country owing to the various products of the palm and the multiple uses of the products.
The event will focus primarily on the socio-economic benefits of a sustainable oil palm plantation /production to alleviate poverty and provide long-term employment opportunities and incentives that will attract more stakeholders (locally and internationally) to the palm oil sector, along with better living and working conditions.
To achieve this, AGRICON will be working in close collaboration with the Oil Palm Grower’s Association of Nigeria (OPGAN).
