Apply Now: BATNF Opens ₦10 Million Grant for Young Agripreneurs, NYSC Members

The British American Tobacco Nigeria Foundation (BATNF) has opened applications for the 2025 edition of its Farmers for the Future (F4F) Grant, offering up to ₦10 million in funding to support young agripreneurs and serving National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members.

Now in its sixth year, the programme aims to empower young Nigerians with innovative agribusiness ideas by providing financial support, business accelerator training, mentorship, and access to a national network of agri-entrepreneurs.

Applications opened on July 7 and will close on July 20, 2025. Interested applicants are required to download the BATNF Mobile App via the Google Play Store or Apple App Store to apply.

BATNF says the grant is not just financial aid but a platform to “build youth-led agribusinesses that shape communities and contribute to national development.”

Previous winners have successfully scaled their ventures—from small-scale vegetable farms to structured agribusinesses—contributing to food security, job creation, and climate-smart innovation.

This year’s call is especially directed at youth with viable agribusiness concepts that align with Nigeria’s agricultural transformation and food resilience agenda.
