About Us

Who We Are

The NATCODEV Coconut Farmers Initiative for Development (NCFID) is a national program designed to empower coconut farmers across Nigeria through cooperative structures, access to finance, training, and market linkages.

Launched in partnership with key stakeholders including the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD) and the Coconut Value Chain Development Program, NCFID aims to transform coconut farming from subsistence activity into a sustainable, profitable enterprise for thousands of smallholder farmers.

We believe that when farmers are organized, funded, and connected, they don't just survive—they thrive.

Our Mission

To empower Nigerian coconut farmers with the tools, knowledge, and financial support needed to build resilient, profitable, and sustainable agribusinesses.
