However, securing inputs and keeping blending plants active and productive, is only the first step. The real test is last-mile and immediate access. Fertiliser must reach the farmers who need it, when they need it. That is why, amongst other programmes, we launched the Renewed Hope Farm Input Support Programme (RH-FISP) through the National Agricultural Development Fund. Under this intervention, 515,720 bags of locally produced fertiliser are being distributed to 128,930 smallholder farmers across 25 states and the FCT for the current planting season. The NADF, as part of this mandate, is also supporting modern agriculture through digital extension services, harmonised fertiliser application guidance, and targeted support for priority crops including rice, maize, cassava and soybean. 4/
