The NOVO Evolution Centre Group of Companies hosted a business mission from West African countries at its platform during the Russian agricultural exhibition "Golden Autumn – 2025". The visit program was dedicated to developing cooperation between the Russian Federation and West African countries in agriculture and ensuring food security.
The joint pavilion of West African countries, organized by the NOVO Evolution Centre Group of Companies, served as a platform for dialogue between Russian businesses, representatives of African government authorities responsible for agriculture and foreign trade, and commercial companies from Nigeria, Niger, Mali, and Togo.
"Cooperation between Russia and Africa has reached a qualitatively new level, and we intend to continue making efforts to develop it: by expanding trade, developing transport and logistics corridors, deepening cooperation, and implementing joint business projects and investments, all to ensure the food security of our countries. We are glad that our pavilion is serving as a platform for open and productive dialogue and negotiations between the business communities of Russia and West African countries," said Karen Ovsepyan, General Director of the NNOVO Evolution Centre Group of Companies, in his welcoming speech.
The company held four busy business days filled with productive meetings and negotiations, resulting in the signing of a package of promising contracts and agreements. The event gave a strong impetus to long-term trade and economic interaction between Russia and African countries, providing an opportunity for representatives of domestic companies from various sectors, such as agricultural education, fertilizer and pesticide production, and agricultural automation, to present their potential.
The visit of the West African countries' representatives to the Russian Federation was organized by the Trade Representation of the Russian Federation in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
"Golden Autumn" has been the country's main agricultural event for over 20 years. It is a large-scale exposition of domestic agricultural achievements and an intensive business program for industry professionals. The annual event brings together tens of thousands of participants at its venue.
