The Federal Government of Nigeria has opened the application portal for the GEEP FarmerMoni federal government interest free loan, allowing eligible Nigerians to apply for financial support of up to ₦300,000.
FarmerMoni is part of the Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme (GEEP), designed to support smallholder farmers with affordable financing to improve productivity and strengthen their livelihoods. The loan is provided without interest and without collateral, making it accessible to farmers who are often excluded from traditional banking services.
This programme focuses on helping farmers access essential inputs such as seeds, fertilisers, farm tools, and basic equipment needed to grow their agricultural activities sustainably.
What Is FG GEEP FarmerMoni?
FarmerMoni is a component of GEEP, a Federal Government empowerment programme implemented under the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA). It targets economically active farmers who need small but structured financial support to expand or stabilise their farming operations.
Unlike commercial loans, FarmerMoni is structured as a federal government interest free loan, aimed at financial inclusion rather than profit-making.

The FarmerMoni programme comes with several farmer-friendly benefits:
-
Interest free loan of up to ₦300,000

Important Things to Know Before Applying
FarmerMoni is not a grant. It is a structured federal government interest free loan that must be repaid according to agreed terms. Repayment performance may also determine eligibility for higher loan amounts in future cycles.
There is no application fee. Applicants should be cautious of individuals or platforms requesting payment to “facilitate” access to the loan.
Benefit of FarmerMoni to Nigerian Farmers
Access to affordable finance remains one of the biggest challenges facing smallholder farmers in Nigeria. FarmerMoni helps bridge this gap by providing structured, interest free funding that supports productivity, food security, and income stability.
By supporting farmers directly, the GEEP programme contributes to rural development, job creation, and national economic growth.
