“The 2nd U.S.-Nigeria Agribusiness summit was tremendously helpful. I particularly enjoyed listening to Commissioner Gary Black. The field trip to the Agribusiness facilities at Auburn University was very informative. I hope to develop new relationships and business connections from the Summit.”
“The segment on funding opportunities for bankable projects was well worth my time. About half of the information presented applied directly to my position in sourcing for funds for projects. All other aspects of the seminar were well planned and accommodating.”
“The Agribusiness Summit was a rousing success, and very informative! I am glad we attended”
“USNAGRIS: Great Content, Great Speakers, Great Summit, Great People, Great Organization.”
