Part 3/6:
The Onj Eco Farmer Subsidy Program seeks to provide a 25% subsidy on animal feed to local farmers. In practical terms, this means farmers will only need to pay 75% of the total cost of their feed upfront, while the state government covers the remaining 25%. This payment model is designed to provide immediate financial relief to farmers who are grappling with increasing production costs.
The program is set to roll out as a pilot project throughout February 2025, with weekly deliveries planned to meet the needs of at least 1,000 farmers across several locations in Lagos. The plan is to rotate farmers weekly to ensure that support is distributed fairly and sustainably.
