Nigeria Feeds the World Initiative

Nigeria Feeds the World Initiative is set to competitively position Nigerian Agricultural and Halal food products for global markets.

On the 30th of October 2020 at the Presidential Villa, President of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR) hosted the Founder of Nigeria Feeds the World initiative, Dr. Noel Akpata, and the Chairman of Horasis, Dr. Frank Jurgen Richter alongside the Chairman of Horasis in Nigeria, Dr. Shamsudeen Usman, The Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum and Key members of the Federal Executive Council.

The President endorsed the activities of Horasis in Nigeria and its request to build its regional hub in Nigeria and setup its intervention initiatives within the Africa region.

Horasis is one of the world's largest international think tanks which brings some of the world's business and political leaders together to develop and implement critical solutions relevant to moving the world forward

The Horasis-Nigeria Economic Development Council created as a result of this endorsement by President Buhari has given birth to this agricultural and halal sector-focused initiative to connect Nigeria to the world within a secure and globally accepted platform.

Nigeria Feeds the World Initiative (NFWI) is a collaborative launch of Nigeria's debut on the world’s ONLY agricultural and Halal e-commerce solution integrating both Blockchain and supply chain traceability to verify agricultural and Halal certificates as well as food origin and guaranteed off-takers.

Built by OneAgrix, this world’s first B2B e-commerce marketplace for agricultural and halal food is a digital platform that integrates sustainability into an end-to-end supply chain, seamlessly connecting guaranteed buyers and suppliers in a singular customer journey and creating one ecosystem that serves the world and in particular, health-conscious consumers.

Nigeria Feeds the World Initiative would also focus on developing the export readiness capacity for agribusiness practitioners and the creation of globally certified farms across the country.
