The Federal Government has officially commenced the nationwide distribution of 515,720 bags of urea and NPK fertilisers to 128,930 smallholder farmers across 25 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) under the National Agricultural Development Fund (NADF) Renewed Hope Farm Input Support Programme (RHFISP).
Following the announcement, many Nigerians have been searching for the application portal and registration process for the programme.

Due to the growing interest from farmers and agricultural stakeholders, we have created this guide to explain how beneficiaries are selected and how interested farmers can position themselves for inclusion in future distributions.
Is There an Online Application Portal for RHFISP?
One important fact every farmer should know is that the Renewed Hope Farm Input Support Programme (RHFISP) does not currently have an open online application portal where individuals can directly apply for free fertiliser distribution.
Instead, beneficiaries are selected through verified farmer databases and registration systems managed by federal and state agricultural agencies.
This means that farmers must first be properly registered and verified through recognised agricultural platforms before they can be considered for government-supported input programmes.
How Farmers Are Selected for FG Fertiliser Distribution
The Federal Government relies on several agricultural databases and farmer registration platforms to identify genuine farmers across the country.
Farmers whose information appears in these verified databases may be shortlisted whenever government intervention programmes are implemented.
To increase your chances of benefiting from the programme, you should register through one or more of the following channels.
1. Register on the National Fertilizer Management Platform (NFMP)
The National Fertilizer Management Platform serves as one of the major digital systems used for managing fertiliser interventions and agricultural support programmes.
Farmers can create a profile and become part of the national database through the official portal below:
NFMP Registration Portal: https://nfmp.gov.ng/farmers
The platform helps government agencies identify eligible farmers and manage fertiliser distribution across the country.
2. Join the National Digital Farmers Registry (NDFR)
Another important platform is the National Digital Farmers Registry (NDFR).
The registry was developed through collaboration involving agricultural development partners to build a reliable database of Nigerian farmers.
Interested farmers can register through:
NDFR Portal: https://ndfrplatform.ng
Being part of the registry may improve your visibility for future agricultural intervention programmes.
3. Register With the All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN)
The All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN) is one of the largest farmer organisations in the country.
Farmers are encouraged to register with AFAN, obtain a farmer identification record and participate in local farming groups or cooperatives.
AFAN Registration Portal: https://afannigeria.com
Membership in recognised cooperatives often makes it easier for government agencies to identify active farmers during intervention programmes.
4. Visit Your State Agricultural Development Project (ADP) Office
For many farmers, this remains the most effective route.
Every state in Nigeria operates an Agricultural Development Project (ADP) office responsible for agricultural extension services, farmer registration and coordination of government agricultural interventions.
Farmers should visit their nearest ADP office and ensure their records are up to date.
You can also contact agricultural extension officers within your local government area for guidance on registration and inclusion in future beneficiary lists.
How To Increase Your Chances of Being Selected
If you want to benefit from future fertiliser distribution programmes under the Renewed Hope Farm Input Support Programme, consider the following steps:
- Register on the National Fertilizer Management Platform (NFMP).
- Join the National Digital Farmers Registry (NDFR).
- Register with the All Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN).
- Become a member of a recognised farming cooperative.
- Visit your state ADP office for proper documentation.
- Keep your personal and farm records updated.
- Maintain active participation in agricultural programmes within your community.
Farmers who meet verification requirements may later receive notifications through government agencies, cooperatives, extension officers or designated distribution centres.
How Beneficiaries Receive Fertilisers
After the verification process, approved farmers are usually invited to designated distribution centres where fertilisers and other farm inputs are distributed.
Depending on the intervention, beneficiaries may receive:
- Subsidised fertilisers
- Free fertilisers
- Improved seedlings
- Farm inputs
- Other agricultural support materials
Distribution methods may vary from one state to another depending on implementation arrangements.

About NADF
The National Agricultural Development Fund (NADF) was established to address financing challenges within Nigeria’s agricultural sector and unlock the full potential of the country’s food systems.
The agency supports programmes aimed at increasing agricultural productivity, strengthening food security, improving farmer livelihoods and promoting sustainable agricultural development across Nigeria.
As the Federal Government expands agricultural intervention programmes under the Renewed Hope Agenda, farmers are encouraged to ensure they are properly registered and verified through recognised agricultural databases to improve their chances of benefiting from future support initiatives.
Final Note
There is currently no direct public application form for the FG 2026 Fertilizer Distribution Programme under NADF RHFISP. Selection is based on verified farmer records maintained by government-approved agricultural platforms and institutions.
Farmers who wish to be considered should complete their registrations through the approved channels and stay connected with their local agricultural offices for updates on future beneficiary exercises.
