STATISTICAL STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF AGRICULTURAL LOANS ON FARMING ACTIVITIES
ABSTRACT
It is commonly said that money is the life wire of any business, agriculture by every standard, qualifies as a business ventures. One can summit that agricultural credit are financial resources made available to farmers against which they may draw for farming together with repayment arrangement.
This is particularly true when it is called to mind that until the mid1970s agriculture accounted for more than 60% of the national income and 70 percent of total employment.
Striking future of the Nigeria economy is the general poverty of the people. in the face of this, it becomes obvious that deliberate Government integration is inevitable. Thus, the government has demonstrated over the years through the employing of both fiscal and monetary machineries.
It is therefore, the intention of this study to view the nature and the relationship between monetary policy and agricultural output, effectiveness of implementation of the policies, problems encountered which are also responsible for low agricultural output and therefore, suggest solutions.
CHAPTER ONE

Prior to the establishment of the central bank of Nigeria, the government Held its accounts with expatriate commercial banks. Currency issue functions were performed by then back of British West Africa on behalf of the West African currency Board, whose notes & coins continued in Nigeria until 30th June, 1959.
