Apply for 247 Agricultural Credit Scheme 2024 (Get Up to N2 Million)

247 Agricultural Credit Scheme 2024: The 247 Digital Platform for Farmers is Nigeria’s premier Agricultural initiative for Farmers. Incorporated in April 2013, 247 Digital Platform for Farmers leverages modern agriculture to deliver inclusive farming.

The only official website to apply is https://www.digitalfarmers.com.ng

247 Digital Platform for Farmers Understand how momentous the farming process in Nigeria is suffering farmers and the lack of adequate farming tools and access to funds is deteriorating agricultural activities across the country.

In support of SDG 8 economic growth, they have designed 247 Agricultural Credit Scheme to enable farmers to exploit the untapped potentials of Nigeria’s agricultural sector, reduce inflation, lower the cost of agricultural production (i.e. food items), generate surplus for export, increase Nigeria’s foreign earnings as well as diversify its revenue base.

The support has come on due time because considering Nigeria has an arable area of 34 million hectares: 6.5 million hectares for permanent crops, and 28.6 million hectares on meadows and pastures. Agriculture accounts for about 24 per cent of Nigeria’s GDP.

It will help greatly toward the growth of the economy of the country and also provide other employment opportunities for young people, thereby reducing the unemployment rate and making Nigeria the food basket of Africa.

To access loans under 247 ACS, farmers are encouraged to visit the approved website https://www.digitalfarmers.com.ng. However, large-scale farmers are also allowed under the scheme to apply directly through the website following the guidelines.

The 247 Agricultural Credit Scheme funds are disbursed to farmers and agro-allied entrepreneurs at a single-digit interest rate of 4% per cent at a maximum period of three
(3) years repayment period. Applicants who pay back their facilities on the schedule are to enjoy a rebate of 2% per cent.
