The Nigerian-American Chamber of Commerce (NACC), on behalf of its President, Board of Directors, and members, is pleased to announce its upcoming Trade and Investment Mission to the United States, scheduled to take place from September 9 to 15, 2025, in Miami, Florida.
Under the theme “Flavours Without Borders,” this strategic initiative aims to deepen trade and investment ties between Nigeria and the United States.
The mission will spotlight Nigeria’s vibrant portfolio of indigenous foods, spices, and value-added products while offering local exporters direct exposure to cutting-edge innovations in packaging, labelling, and regulatory compliance within the U.S. market.
A key highlight of the mission includes participation in the American Food and Beverage Show in Miami, Florida.
The National President of NACC, Alhaji Sheriff Balogun, will be leading the delegation to the United States.
Some of the delegates will also attend the PACK EXPO in Las Vegas, one of the world’s premier exhibitions for packaging and food processing solutions.
Attendees will enjoy high-impact activities such as a welcome networking dinner featuring African-American fusion cuisine, expert-led webinars on export readiness, and U.S. compliance, a robust product showcase at the WTC Miami, and a guided tour of Miami’s Export Processing Zone in collaboration with Enterprise Florida.
Participants will also embark on a business and pleasure cruise along Biscayne Bay with the U.S. trade representatives and industry stakeholders before concluding the week at PACK EXPO in Las Vegas.
This engagement presents a rare opportunity to explore state-of-the-art food safety technologies, automation tools, and packaging innovations vital to increasing Nigeria’s export competitiveness.
Dr Violet Abdulkadir, the chairman Trade Mission Committee of the Chamber, stated that the participating, Nigerian businesses will gain direct access to the U.S. distributors, retailers, manufacturers, and investors while also receiving first-hand insights into American standards on food safety, traceability, sustainability, and presentation.
This mission fosters technology and innovation transfer, strengthens Nigeria’s value chains, and elevates its culinary and cultural identity on the global stage.
The initiative also benefits American businesses by expanding sourcing opportunities, introducing new African consumer products into diaspora markets, and creating reliable supply chain linkages between the U.S. firms and credible Nigerian exporters.
With sectoral focus areas including agriculture, food and beverage, packaging, energy, and value-added consumer goods, the Trade and Investment Mission reaffirms NACC’s role as a leading facilitator of commercial diplomacy between Nigeria and the United States.
