To support the Federal Government of Nigeria’s National Food Security Programme, the Maize Aggregation Scheme provides access to inexpensive loans for the purchase of locally cultivated maize to feed millers, poultry farms, silos warehouse operators, and confectionery businesses.
The goals of the program include the following:
i) Maintaining maize prices at a level that makes farming profitable.
ii) Boost regional maize production.
iii) Offer loan facilities at a single-digit interest rate to feed millers, poultry farms, silo and warehouse owners, integrated feed millers, and confectionary businesses that utilize maize as a key ingredient.
iv) Increase the country’s food security.
