Our farmer partners and agents network in Oyo State
We started because we saw neighbours going hungry while food rotted in farms.
In Ibadan, Oyo State, we watched the same pattern repeat every harvest season. Smallholder farmers oversupplied the local market, prices crashed, and tonnes of tomatoes, peppers, and vegetables were left to rot. Meanwhile, just kilometres away, civil servants were skipping meals because payday was still days away.
FoodBank.ng was built to fix both sides. We connect farmers to a guaranteed offtake market and use those savings to offer food credit to families at zero interest. Civil servants pay 50% at order and the rest from their next salary. No loan sharks. No shame.
Your donation funds the float that makes this possible. It pays for farmer inputs so they can grow more and bridges the gap when a family cannot make their first payment.
Part of Oyo State's push to rebuild its food value chain.
In 2021, Foodbankng was selected as a participant in the OYSADA Youth Entrepreneurship in Tomato Value Chain Project a programme run by the Oyo State Agribusiness Development Agency to connect young entrepreneurs to Nigeria's tomato supply chain.
That experience deepened our understanding of how food actually moves from Nigerian farms to Nigerian kitchens and what breaks along the way. It is one of the reasons our farmer support programme is built the way it is.
This is what a funded farm looks like.
Every farm in our network receives certified seedlings, fertiliser, and access to irrigation infrastructure. Our agents visit fortnightly to track crop health. Farmers are trained in post-harvest handling to cut waste.
This is what your donation puts on a family's table.
A typical FoodBank.ng food credit order includes Semovita, spaghetti, rice, beans, cooking oil, and seasoning. Enough to feed a family of five for a full month. They pay 50% on collection day and the rest 30 days later, automatically deducted from salary.
What your donation does
Skip one thing.
Change one family.
You do not need to give a lot. You need to give once. In Nigeria right now, the difference between a family eating and a family going without on the 20th of the month is smaller than you think.

Take the bus once. Your ₦5,000 covers the service charge on a civil servant's monthly food credit so they stop paying 40% to the market trader.
