Who Can Apply for This Loan Programme?

Whether you are a small-scale farmer looking to move to medium-scale production or an existing operation seeking working capital for feed and equipment, the LSETF Broiler Project Loan Programme offers a practical solution.

With the added flexibility of the repayment structure, farmers can focus on growing their birds and their business rather than worrying about unmanageable debt.
This opportunity is ideal for poultry farmers seeking affordable capital to scale production without the burden of high commercial lending rates. With manageable repayment terms and targeted agricultural support, the Lagos Broiler Project provides a practical pathway for business growth.
