BOA, AFAN to finance 400,000 dry-season farmers

The Bank of Agriculture (BOA) has teamed up with the All-Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN) to provide financing for 400,000 farmers ahead of the 2026 dry-season farming cycle. This initiative aims to support year-round food production and improve farmers' access to agricultural inputs and irrigation equipment. Under the partnership, AFAN will identify and present farmers within its network, while the BOA will provide approved financing through suitable Farmer Aggregation Companies (FACs) to help farmers sustain production during the dry season.
