In a significant stride toward transforming Nigeria’s rural agricultural landscape, the British American Tobacco Nigeria Foundation (BATNF) has inaugurated the second phase of its impactful rice farming support program in Ebonyi State.

The event, centered on the distribution of vital farming inputs, highlights the Foundation’s commitment to strengthening food systems, promoting sustainable livelihoods, and empowering smallholder farmers across Nigeria.

In 2024, BATN Foundation made remarkable headway by supporting 400 smallholder rice farmers across four communities in the State — Eketube Enyigba (Abakaliki LGA), Ndiokeda (Izzi LGA), Ogwulangwu (Ohaozara LGA), and Nduikbi (Ebonyi LGA).

These farmers received targeted capacity building through hands-on training, demonstration plots, and field days designed to promote improved agronomic practices.

Now, in 2025, the Foundation’s efforts are intensifying with a strategic intervention that saw the distribution of 1,000 kg of high-quality rice seeds, 6,000 kg of fertilizer, herbicides, pesticides, and other essential inputs to 200 farmers, selected from the initial cohort for this planting season. This timely support aimed to cultivate at least 20 hectares of rice.

Looking ahead, BATN Foundation plans a third phase in 2026, envisaged as an enterprise development initiative. This phase aims to support 100 farmers with inputs to cultivate 100 hectares of rice, coupled with market linkage services to ensure sustainable income streams. Such steps are crucial in creating resilient farming communities capable of weathering climatic and market challenges.
