NADF reviews farm input supply programme, seeks improved delivery

The National Agricultural Development Fund has engaged agricultural processors and other stakeholders in a roundtable discussion to review the first phase of its Farm Input Supply Programme and refine strategies for improved delivery in the next phase.

The General Manager, Partnerships and Investor Relations, Nasir Ingawa, in a statement on Thursday, said the programme was designed to address one of the major constraints facing Nigerian agriculture, timely access to quality farm inputs.

Ingawa explained that NADF was established to mobilise and deploy sustainable financing to support agricultural productivity, resilience, and inclusive growth, with a particular focus on smallholder farmers.

“The NADF–Farm Input Supply Programme was designed as a strategic intervention to improve access to essential inputs, enhance yields and agricultural productivity, while strengthening rural livelihoods through out-grower systems,” he said.
