EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
Nigerian agriculture has high potential but actualizing it depends on concerted efforts to address the major challenges confronting the sector which include among others; access to finance by small scale farmers. This problem has been compounded with the bank consolidation exercise that took place in the country in 2005 as banks’ now prefer to lend to large scale businesses. In the past, the agricultural financing policy of the Nigerian government emphasized primary production without paying attention to the marketing of agricultural products. Consequently, the current emphasis by financial institutions on value chain financing has further compounded the problem of access to credit by small holders who account for over 90 per cent of agricultural production in Nigeria and do not have access to lucrative markets, nor adequate processing and storage facilities. More worrisome, is the fact that the current efforts being made by government to develop value chains has been limited to only few crops, cattle and fish farming, whereas Nigerian agriculture is very diverse with over 25 crops possibilities namely, maize, millet, sorghum, rice, wheat, acha, cowpeas, cassava, potatoes, yam, cocoyam, plantain, assorted vegetables, melon, peanut, sesame, soya bean, cotton, oil palm, cocoa, rubber, sugar cane, kolanut, ginger, cashew, pineapple, and palm produce. Similarly, about seven livestock products are produced in the country namely, poultry, goat meat, mutton, beef, pork, milk, and eggs. In the fishery sub-sector, we have the artisanal and coastal brackish water catches, artisanal inland rivers and lakes catches and fish farming
