OPay, a leading financial technology company in Nigeria, participated as the signature sponsor at the 11th Nigeria Agrofood International Trade Show, held from March 24 to 26, 2026, at the Landmark Centre, Lagos. 

The trade show brought together key players across agriculture, food processing, packaging, and technology to explore opportunities for growth, innovation, and investment in the sector. 

Recognised as West Africa’s leading agrofood platform, the 2026 edition recorded its largest international participation to date, with over 100 exhibitors and thousands of industry professionals from across Nigeria and beyond. The trade show provided a strong platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and business development across the entire agricultural value chain. 

As part of its participation, OPay reinforced its commitment to advancing financial inclusion and enabling seamless digital transactions within the agricultural ecosystem. On Day 1 of the conference, Sanni Saidi, Director, Key Account and Merchant Acquiring Business at OPay, delivered an insightful session highlighting how digital payment solutions are transforming the way farmers, distributors, and agribusinesses operate.

During his session, Saidi emphasised the importance of secure, fast, and reliable payment systems in improving efficiency across the agricultural value chain. He noted that OPay’s smart business solutions are helping businesses reduce risks, improve transparency, and scale their operations more effectively. 

Beyond payments, OPay is also advancing the development of its Smart Business Solutions, a suite of tailored tools and systems designed to solve real business challenges across sectors. 

By working closely with businesses to understand their unique needs, OPay builds bespoke solutions that improve operational efficiency, streamline processes, and unlock new growth opportunities. This approach positions OPay as more than a payments provider, but a strategic partner for businesses looking to scale sustainably.

Speaking on OPay’s participation, Elizabeth Wang, Chief Commercial Officer, OPay, said: “Trade shows like Nigeria Agrofood are very important to us because they bring together the people and businesses shaping the future of agriculture. At OPay, we go beyond providing fast, secure and reliable payment solutions. We listen closely to what businesses truly need and build Smart Business Solutions that are tailored to solve their specific challenges. Whether it is helping businesses manage collections, improve operations, or scale more efficiently, our focus is to support their growth in a practical and meaningful way. This is what sets us apart: we are not just enabling payments, we are building solutions that help businesses run better and grow sustainably.”

OPay’s presence at the trade show reflects its broader mission to support key sectors of the Nigerian economy through its technology-driven financial services and smart business solutions. By partnering with agricultural stakeholders, OPay continues to play a vital role in improving access to finance, enhancing operational efficiency, and enabling more resilient business operations across the country.

The company also engaged with exhibitors, partners, and industry leaders during the three-day event, exploring opportunities to deepen collaboration and expand its impact within the agrofood sector.
