Renewed Hope National Agricultural Mechanization Program (RHNAMP): Applications are now open for the Renewed Hope National Agricultural Mechanization Program (RHNAMP), a federal-backed initiative designed to improve access to modern agricultural machinery and boost food production across Nigeria.
The programme is implemented by the Bank of Agriculture (BOA) in partnership with Heifer Nigeria, and focuses on expanding affordable tractor access for farmers, agripreneurs, and agro-service providers nationwide.
RHNAMP is a key part of Nigeria’s food security and rural development strategy. It supports a new generation of mechanisation service providers especially women, youth, and agribusiness companies by providing tractors, training, and flexible repayment options linked to real farm income.
What Is the Renewed Hope National Agricultural Mechanization Program (RHNAMP)?
The Renewed Hope National Agricultural Mechanization Program (RHNAMP) is a tractor financing and management scheme created to close Nigeria’s mechanisation gap.
Through this programme, selected beneficiaries receive fully equipped tractors and access to structured support systems that ensure efficient use, sustainability, and profitability.
Each beneficiary benefits from:
- Preventive maintenance and technical support through mechanisation hubs
- Digital tracking of tractor usage using IoT technology
- Flexible repayment plans tied to tractor usage and income generation
The goal is simple: increase productivity, reduce manual labour, create jobs, and strengthen Nigeria’s food supply chain.
