Sunbeth Global Concepts has announced its partnership with Sterling Bank to co-host the 2025 edition of the Agriculture Summit Africa (ASA), a flagship continental event that brings together key stakeholders to explore solutions for Africa’s agricultural and food security challenges.
The summit, scheduled to take place later this year in Lagos, will center on the theme “Reimagining Africa’s Food Systems for Growth.” It aims to foster collaboration between policymakers, financial institutions, agribusiness leaders, researchers, and development partners to drive innovation and investment in the agricultural value chain.
According to the organizers, Sunbeth’s involvement reflects its growing influence in agribusiness and sustainability initiatives across Africa. The company is known for its work in agricultural exports, capacity development, and value addition, making it a strategic partner for Sterling Bank, a leading advocate for sustainable finance and food security.
Sterling Bank’s Group Head for Agriculture and Solid Minerals Finance, Bukola Awosanya, said the collaboration builds on the bank’s longstanding commitment to advancing Nigeria’s food systems through targeted financing, partnerships, and knowledge exchange. She added that integrating private-sector expertise such as Sunbeth’s will help scale impact across regional food markets.
Since its inception, the Agriculture Summit Africa has served as a thought-leadership platform for advancing innovative ideas, research-backed policies, and digital solutions in agriculture. The 2025 edition is expected to feature panel discussions, exhibitions, investment matchmaking sessions, and youth-led innovation showcases.
Experts believe this year’s summit will be pivotal in driving discussions around climate-smart agriculture, sustainable financing, and cross-border agribusiness collaboration. With Africa’s population projected to double by 2050, stakeholders see this forum as essential to ensuring food sufficiency and economic diversification.
Sunbeth representatives have expressed optimism that the partnership will not only strengthen agricultural value chains but also enhance the continent’s competitiveness in global food markets. They emphasized that the event will serve as a platform to connect ideas with implementation and unlock funding opportunities for smallholder farmers and agro-startups.
Further details on the summit’s speakers, sessions, and registration are expected to be released in the coming weeks through official ASA and Sterling Bank communication channels.
