Effects Of Commercial Banks' Credit To Agriculture Of Selected Staple Crops In Nigeria
ABSTRACT
Agriculture is derived from the Latin words 'Ager' (field)
and 'cultural' (cultivation). This means field cultivation (Erebor, 2003).
According to Onyebinarna (2000), Agriculture embraces farming. Farming is
defined as man's deliberate effort to rear animals and grow plants for his own
use. Agriculture therefore entails man's quest to improve production, increase
the production of useful plants and animals to preserve, process and distribute
the products from these plants and animals. Agriculture is the oldest industry
known to mankind and it is the source of our food and raw materials for many
industries (Lot, 1985). Infact it can be justifiably referred to as the world's
primary Industry. However, progress in the agricultural sector had been slow.
(Ijere, 1994) attributed this slow in progress to the numerous problems faced
by Nigeria's economy and revealed that to improve progress in agricultural
development, credit is inevitable. In other words, finance must be critical
considered as a factor agricultural development.
