How to Apply for Poultry & Agribusiness Loans in Nigeria (Harvest Aligned Moratorium)

Aligning Credit to Agricultural Realities

One of the major reasons commercial loans fail for Nigerian farmers is the requirement for rigid monthly repayments starting 30 days after disbursement. A farmer raising broiler chickens or cultivating maize cannot pay principal until the crop or bird reaches market weight.

Eligible Agribusiness Ventures

•**Poultry Production:** Day-old chicks, feed procurement, vaccine management, and egg grading equipment.
•**Aquaculture / Fishery:** Fingerlings, catfish/tilapia feed, and pond construction.
•**Grain & Vegetable Cultivation:** Seeds, fertilizers, mechanized tilling, and drip irrigation.
•**Agro-Processing & Milling:** Cassava processing, rice de-stoners, and cold chain storage.
