Crop Intensification Program

Input support · Rwanda · also called CIP, Smart Nkunganire

A government scheme that subsidises fertiliser — and, through the same system, improved seed, pesticides and small-scale irrigation technology — for farmers growing priority food crops, delivered through the digital Smart Nkunganire System (dial *774#).

What to know

Administered byMinistry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI) and Rwanda Agriculture and Animal Resources Development Board (RAB)
Who qualifiesFarmers growing the crops covered by the subsidy — maize, beans, wheat, rice, soybeans, potatoes, cassava, bananas, vegetables and fruit trees — who register on the Smart Nkunganire System.
What you getSubsidised fertiliser at a reduced retail price. Example: one kilogram of urea officially retails at Rwf1,980; the government contributes Rwf890 of that, so the registered farmer pays about Rwf1,090.
How to registerRegister on the Smart Nkunganire System by dialling *774# and following the prompts, through the Smart Nkunganire mobile or web app, via a sector agronomist, or at a designated registration centre.
