The story of Babban Gona is one of transformation. We are a high-impact, financially sustainable, and rapidly scalable agricultural social enterprise that is revolutionizing smallholder farming across Nigeria.
We saw what many overlooked: that farmers, often trapped in cycles of low yields and poverty, were capable of extraordinary things. So, we built something different. We built a social enterprise designed to scale; a business that blends impact with sustainability, profit with purpose.
Over the years, we have grown not just in numbers, but in vision. With support from partners like Nestlé, DfID, AGRA, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Skoll, GIZ, USAID, The Mastercard Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, IFAD, Global Partnerships, and EDFI AgriFi, we created an agricultural franchise model that has changed the game.
Through this model, we have helped smallholder farmers—men and women across Northern Nigeria—double their yields and incomes, access quality inputs, financing, training, and markets. We have built trust, and in return, they have achieved an astounding 99% loan repayment rate.
Today, our story continues with greater momentum than ever:
- We have disbursed over $250 million in financing to farmers
- We are managing over 100,000 metric tons in storage capacity
- We have cultivated over 200,000 hectares sustainably
And we are not done yet.
Our eyes are set on the future—50 million smallholder farmers by 2043.
This is more than just agriculture. It is about restoring dignity to farming, feeding nations, empowering women, and unlocking prosperity across rural Africa.
We are Babban Gona!
