The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP) FarmerMoni Loan application portal open to the public, offering a new window of opportunity for smallholder farmers across the country. Implemented under the National Social Investment Programmes Agency (NSIPA), the initiative is part of the government’s broader commitment to promoting financial inclusion, strengthening livelihoods, and driving sustainable economic empowerment.
FarmerMoni is specifically designed to support farmers who often face challenges in accessing credit facilities due to limited financial resources or lack of collateral. Under this programme, successful applicants can receive interest-free loans ranging from ₦100,000 to ₦300,000, enabling them to acquire essential agricultural inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, agro-chemicals, farming tools, and modern equipment needed to enhance productivity.
The programme is strategically targeted at boosting national food production, encouraging agribusiness development, and empowering rural economies. By easing access to capital, FarmerMoni helps farmers expand their operations, improve yields, and ultimately increase income levels. This intervention is expected to play a key role in reducing food shortages, stabilizing prices, and supporting Nigeria’s agricultural value chain.
