Cultivating Agripreneurship: EDC and Nestlé’s Golden Morn Initiative

The Enterprise Development Centre (EDC) program with Nestlé Nigeria, specifically the Golden Morn Agripreneurship Webinar Series, is a collaborative effort to boost youth participation in Nigeria’s agricultural sector. Launched to support young agripreneurs focusing on grains, the program provides training on the agricultural value chain, mentorship, and seedlings, with top performers receiving grants to scale their businesses. Nestlé, through its Golden Morn brand (made from 100% locally sourced grains), partners with EDC of Pan-Atlantic University to deliver this initiative, enhancing local sourcing and fostering sustainable farming. It aims to equip young Nigerians with skills for economic opportunities, contributing to both Nestlé’s sustainability goals and Nigeria’s agricultural economy.
