CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1) BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
A commercial bank can be defined as a financial institution or company carrying on the biz of receiving monies other valuables as deposits from the public for keeping and for lending to the investors on short and medium term basis on which it charges interest such deposit or repayable on demand to the depositors or order. ADEKANYA(1993)
The early commercial bank in Nigeria were established by the colonial Govt and mainly catering for the interest of the expatriates, thus (i) financing export trade and neglecting agricultural financing. The discriminatory attitude makes some Nigeria to establishing indigenous commercial banks could be found in the country which include union bank plc, first bank plc, universal trust bank limited and afribank plc.These institutions perform such services which include the acceptance of deposits in form of cash or cheque from the public granting of loans and overdraft faculties to customers, issuance of letters credit to worthy customers and fund transfer service discounting of bills. Etc. Despite the amount of loan being channeled to the agricultural sector for industrial development by commercial banks, the agricultural sector still suffers from some in he rent problems militating against the industrial and agricultural of the nations. Also, due to lack of agricultural development, the country faces a constant shortage of basic necessities.
Due to the limited annual production of agricultural products, food prices are constantly fluctuating. If the agricultural sector were fully developed, huge amounts of foreign currency would be spent each year on raw materials essential to local industry. Farmers and other agribusinesses have no incentive to obtain agricultural lines of credit because banks have strict standards for credit ratings, payments and repayments.
Finally, due to the underdevelopment of the agricultural sector, GREENER (1990) was unable to achieve much of the foreign exchange income that would have been achieved through commodity exports from improved agricultural products. This study therefore focuses on the disbursement and repayment of agricultural loans in commercial banks in Nigeria and examines the factors opposing the orderly disbursement and repayment of loans aimed at revitalizing the agricultural sector.

industrials are faced with problem arising from the disbursement and payment of agricultural loans

Sometime the security to be offered by customers for such loans become a problem as some customer found it difficult to offer a collateral security for such loans which even tonality deprive them from obtaining agricultural loans Furness (1991).
Most farmers and other agro-based ventures customers deviate from investing the proceeds of the loan on agricultural ventures for which purpose such loans was extended during a period of cash sequence in the economy commercial banks often finds it difficult to extend agricultural loans to credit worth customers due to scarcity of liquidity. These and other problems, the research intend to investing in this study.
