Mr Ibrahim Anas, the Executive Director and Convener of the fair disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Bauchi on Monday.
Anas said that the fair was billed to take place between Sept. 29 and Oct. 7.
He said that the event was being organised by the foundation, in conjunction with the State Government.
He said that representatives of the 774 Local Government Areas (LGAs) in the country would converge on Bauchi for the fair.
Anas said that the event would provide the platform for the cross-fertilisation of ideas to grow the nation’s agricultural sector and ensure food security.
He also said that it would help to promote rural agriculture and enhance quality service delivery in farming for national economic growth.
He said that the objective of the fair was to diversify the revenue base of the states and LGAs by strengthening all the indicators of development, including improved agricultural practices.
“It will also serve to improve rural infrastructure, enhance income generation and improve the people’s standard of living,” he said.
