INTRODUCTION
  • As part of its developmental role, the Central
    Bank of Nigeria in collaboration with the Federal
    Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources
    (FMAWR), has established the Commercial
    Agricultural Credit Scheme (CACS).
  • The scheme was created to promote commercial
    agricultural enterprises in Nigeria, which is a
    sub-component of the Federal Government of
    Nigeria Commercial Agriculture Development
    Programme (CADP) being anchored by the Federal
    Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources
    (FMAWR).

4
INTRODUCTION CONTD
  • CACS was also introduced to complement other
    initiatives of the Bank aimed at providing
    funding for agricultural development. Such
    initiatives as the Agricultural Credit Guarantee
    Scheme (ACGS) which is for small and medium scale
    farmers, Interest Draw-back Programme and
    Agricultural Credit Support Scheme (ACSS), etc.

5
OBJECTIVES OF CACS
  • To fast track development of the agricultural
    sector of the Nigeria economy by providing credit
    facilities to commercial agricultural enterprises
    at single digit interest rate.
  • To enhance national food security by increasing
    food supply and effectively lower the prices of
    agricultural produce and products, thereby
    promoting low food inflation.
  • To reduce the costs of credit in agricultural
    production and enable farmers exploit the full
    potentials of the sector.
  • To increase output, generate employment,
    diversify the revenue base of the economy,
    increase foreign exchange earnings and provide
    input for the industrial sector on a sustainable
    basis.

6
TARGET AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES
  • Cash crops cotton, oil palm, rubber, Jatropha
    carcus, sugar cane
  • Food crops Rice, maize, cassava, wheat, fruits
    and vegetables.
  • Livestock dairy, poultry and piggery.
  • Fisheries.

MOBILIZATION OF FUNDS FOR THE SCHEME
  • An MOU to enable the Debt Management Office (DMO)
    raise N200.0 billion was signed on August 28,
    2009.

  • The DMO is expected to raise the balance of N100
    billion to be disbursed to the CBN in two more
    installments between September and October, 2009

8
FUNDING
  • The N200 billion being raised by the DMO shall be
    in two tranches.
  • The first tranche envelope of N100 billion had
    been released to the participating banks, United
    Bank for Africa Plc. (N75billion) and First Bank
    of Nigeria Plc. (N25 billion) representing 50 of
    the Fund.
  • The second tranche will be released to new banks

    (FNEs) in every two local governments in the
    country. This component is expected to commence
    with 24 pilot projects.
  • The FNEs are expected to attract a new generation
    of entrepreneurs to engage in farming as a
    business, generate employment, minimize
    rural-urban migration, and consolidate farms,
    farmers and farming requirements within the
    estate to leverage on economies of scale and
    market linkages.

19
NEW DEVELOPMENTS (Contd)
  • Each FNE will occupy 2,000-3,000 hectares of land
    (to be provided by the State Governments with
    built up infrastructures), accommodated farmers
    would be organized into production clusters,
    input suppliers and marketers so as to enjoy
    subsidized inputs, foster relationships
    themselves,
  • FNEs will also have access to storage and
    processing facilities, and physical and virtual
    markets (commodity exchange).
