AgroNigeria Welcomes AgroAfrica Magazine, Celebrates Akinwunmi Adesina.

Nigeria’s foremost agricultural mouthpiece, AgroNigeria is set to scale up operations to a continental level this October with the launch of its sister magazine tagged AgroAfrica.  The AgroAfrica magazine launch will be taking place October, 20, 2017, in Des Moines, Iowa as part of this year’s Borlaug Dialogue – a yearly event which tackles the topic of global food security.

Speaking to the event, CEO of AgroNigeria and Editor in Chief of AgroAfrica, Barrister Richard Mbaram says this new addition to the Agro family will serve to project Africa’s voice in the global arena and provide viable strategic support for the private sector in a bid to showcase their contributions to the attainment of the overall objective of the #FeedAfrica message, and rally stakeholders thereto, in a post "African Green Revolution" era.

“We are excited to be launching AgroAfrica magazine at a time when the world has turned its attention to Africa’s strategic position in the war on hunger. Providentially, Africa’s foremost agricultural evangelizer is being honoured with a World Food Prize Laureate Investiture. This launch could not have come at a better time,” he says.

To this end, the first edition of the magazine, the October 1 edition, flies with the cover, “The Lion of African Agriculture, “in celebration of the man who dared the odds to put Africa in the world’s agricultural map.  “Africa needs to tell her own stories,” Mbaram continues. “And we need to tell it in an authentic objective voice. We cannot leave it to foreign media to shape our conversations.”

Over the last decade AgroNigeria has undertaken the quest to provide visibility for Nigeria’s agricultural sector. With AgroAfrica, the media organisation hopes to do for Africa, what it has been doing for Nigeria.

AgroAfrica, which will start off as a quarterly magazine in its print format will have English and French formats.  It will also have an electronic imprint which can be assessed through agromagazine.net.

This maiden Collector’s Edition features the ‘who is who’ in African agriculture and tackles, through incisive and in depth columns, feature, editorials and opinion pieces, issues ranging from irrigation in Africa to the effects of climate change.

The magazine will go on sale immediately after the launch on October 20, 2017. The general public is advised to mail@askagromagazine.net to pre-order copies.
