dc.description.abstractThis study examines how diaspora networks influence the export performance of small-scale agro-processing firms in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nigeria. Drawing on social network theory and diaspora entrepreneurship theory, the study conceptualises diaspora networks through three dimensions: remitting behaviour, diaspora knowledge transfer, and diaspora trade facilitation. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to owners and managers of small-scale agro-processing firms, and the hypothesised relationships were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. The results indicate that remitting behaviour, diaspora knowledge transfer, and diaspora trade facilitation each exhibit positive and statistically significant relationships with export performance. The findings highlight the multidimensional role of diaspora communities as providers of financial capital, market-relevant knowledge, and cross-border trade support that can strengthen the international competitiveness of small firms. The study contributes to the diaspora networks and small firm internationalisation literature by providing firm-level evidence from an emerging economy context and by clarifying actionable pathways through which diaspora engagement can be leveraged to improve export outcomes. Policy and managerial implications are discussed, particularly regarding programmes that support productive remittance channelling, structured knowledge exchange platforms, and diaspora-enabled trade linkages.eng
