Speaking on the strategic importance of the partnership, the Group Chairman of FMN, Mr. John G. Coumantaros, described the France–Nigeria relationship as mutually beneficial and growth-driven.

He said, “The France–Nigeria relationship is a valuable partnership built on a shared value agenda that fosters remarkable intercontinental trade growth. Also, as an organisation with over six decades of transformational footprint in Nigeria and progressively across the African continent, FMN has been unwaveringly committed to product and process innovation. Therefore, our continuous partnership with France for the success of the Paris International Agricultural Show further buttresses the thriving relationship between both countries.”

At the inauguration of the Nigerian Pavilion, the Managing Director, FMN Agro, and Director, Strategic Engagement/Stakeholder Relations, Mr. Sadiq Usman, said the company’s presence at the fair aligns with its corporate mission.
