Abstract
Financing agricultural projects has been extremely
difficult in Nigeria. Most banks particularly commercial
banks have shown a, persistent reluctance to give financial
assistance ;to farmers for numerous reasons. Tho various
governments of Nigeria have long recognized the fact that
the absence of a national agricultural credit institution
is one of the major impediments to agricultural developing
in the country. The Nigerian Agricultural and Cooperative
Bank Limited (N.A.C.B.) was thus established in 1973 to
provide the much needed finance to farmers in order to
increase their production. .
This study attempts to appraise the performance of
the N.A.C.B. in relation to its stated objectives. It
attempts to identify the problems faced by the institution
in providing agricultural loans to farmers and the problems
faced by farmers in obtaining loans from the N.A.C.B.
It also attempts to suggest solutions where possible to
the problems identified as being encountered by both the
learners and the institution.
