Dr Chinedum Eluwa, president, Grasscutters Farmers Association of Nigeria (GRAFAN), has said that the association will soon access loans for members through the Anchor Borrowers’ Programme (ABP).

Eluwa made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.

He said the association was putting all necessary documents together so that its members could benefit from the scheme. 

“Most of them do not have the fund to acquire the initial breeding stock. They also lack know-how and knowledge on how to breed and handle them (grasscutters). They also do not have enough money to purchase the cage.
