The Anchor Borrowers Program (ABP) of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) was initiated in November 2015 to foster economic linkages between Small Holder Farmers (SHF) and Anchors. It aimed to support farmers involved in maize, rice, or wheat farming.
Over the course of the program, approximately 4.67 million farmers benefitted from its initiatives. The total amount disbursed across all anchors was about N1.12 trillion, with N670.4 billion repaid and an outstanding balance of N450.90 billion.
