This study investigated the role of strategic innovation in enhancing the financial resilience of agro firms in Lagos State, Nigeria. The research adopts a structured questionnaire distributed to 345 firms, with 311 valid responses obtained (90% return rate), the research examined three dimensions of innovation—product, process, and business model—and their collective impact on resilience. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analyses were employed to test four hypotheses. Findings revealed that all three innovation dimensions were positively and significantly correlated with financial resilience. Product innovation (r = 0.53, p < 0.01) contributed through diversification and responsiveness to consumer preferences, though export diversification showed weaker effects. Process innovation (r = 0.57, p < 0.01) emerged as the strongest driver, with efficiency improvements and logistics optimization reducing losses and strengthening resilience. Business model innovation (r = 0.49, p < 0.01) also played a meaningful role, particularly through digital platforms and cooperative financing, though subscription farming showed limited adoption. Importantly, the combined innovation index (r = 0.62, p < 0.01) demonstrated that integrated innovation strategies yield the highest resilience outcomes, outperforming isolated efforts. Also, the regression result of R2 = 0.789 indicate that strategic innovations collectively explains nearly 80% of financial resilience of agro firms in Lagos State Nigeria. The study concludes that strategic innovation is a critical pathway to financial resilience in volatile agro markets. Based on the conclusion, it was recommended among others that Agro firms strengthen process innovation through efficiency technologies and logistics systems; enhance product innovation by diversifying into value-added goods and adapting to consumer preferences.
