Overview
What this programme is
Agricultural Development supplies improved seed, fertiliser and tools alongside field training, and then helps farmers reach markets that pay properly for what they grow.
The programme works on a season cycle, so applications open ahead of planting rather than whenever it suits the Trust.
What you receive
- Inputs for one seasonImproved seed, fertiliser and tools appropriate to your plot.
- Field trainingPractical sessions on your own land, not in a classroom.
- Market accessIntroductions to aggregators and buyers paying fair prices.
Eligibility
Who can apply
These are the criteria we check. They are the same rules the portal uses when it tells you whether you are eligible — there is only one set of them.
You live in Olokoro or a neighbouring community in Umuahia South, Umuahia North or Ikwuano.
You are 18 or older.
If you do not meet a criterion you can still apply, but your application is likely to be unsuccessful. Sign in and complete your profile to see where you stand before you start.
