The scheme

A national input subsidy, delivered digitally.

NAGS-Agro-Pocket is the Federal Government’s input-subsidy scheme, financed by the African Development Bank with US$134m.

It supported 343,187 farmers in its first two seasons. Phase 1 tripled national wheat output to about 0.5m tonnes in 2024.

The AfDB approved a further US$200m for Phase 2 in 2026.
