The Nigeria Incentive-Based Risk Sharing system for Agricultural Lending (NIRSAL) is calling on all smallholder farmers, farmer leaders and aggregators – particularly for Dry Season and Non-Seasonal Commodities – to take advantage of the NIRSAL AgroGeoCoop® formation exercise which is currently structuring smallholder farmers for access to finance, trainings, markets and more.
The exercise aims at creating 16,000 Agro Geo-Cooperatives (ranging from 10 hectares to 20,001 hectares and above) on 4 million hectares of farmland and enrolling about 8 million farmers across Nigeria who are expected to produce about 12 million metric tonnes of Grain Product Equivalent (GPE) annually over the medium to long term.
