  1. Will like to commend all you do to foster our farmers in Agribusiness particularly in bringing information about the source of loans for financing their ventures. Well-done.

  2. Good information to those of us that are battling with cash to finance our project. But my concern is that, is it compulsory to have an off takers before one can access funds, in case of Anchor borrowers ,people were supplied with substandard inputs while cash were not given at required period. I believe people should be given cash to purchase their inputs themselves while proper monitoring should be carried out by financing firm.
