The CACSF will provide credit facilities to farmers and agribusinesses to enable them to finance their operations and increase their productivity. The fund will also provide technical assistance to farmers and agribusinesses to help them improve their operations and increase their yields.
To facilitate the disbursement of the CACSF, the Federal Government has appointed five banks, including Zenith Bank, Access Bank, UBA, Sterling Bank, and Unity Bank. These banks will provide credit facilities to farmers and agribusinesses on behalf of NIRSAL.
The disbursement of the CACSF is part of the government’s efforts to promote agricultural development in Nigeria.

The disbursement of the CACSF will provide much-needed financial support to the agricultural sector, which has long been in need of significant investment to improve its performance and increase its contribution to the economy. The fund will help to address some of the critical challenges facing the sector, including inadequate funding, poor infrastructure, and low productivity.
The government’s appointment of five banks to facilitate the disbursement of the CACSF is a welcome development, as it will ensure that credit facilities are available to farmers and agribusinesses in a timely and efficient manner. The banks will also provide technical assistance to farmers and agribusinesses to help them improve their operations and increase their productivity.
In conclusion, the disbursement of the CACSF is a significant development for the agricultural sector in Nigeria. The fund will provide much-needed financial support to farmers and agribusinesses and help to address critical challenges facing the sector. The government’s appointment of five banks to facilitate the disbursement of the fund is commendable, as it will ensure that credit facilities are available to farmers and agribusinesses in a timely and efficient manner. The successful implementation of the CACSF will go a long way in promoting agricultural development in Nigeria and increasing the sector’s contribution to the economy.
