This study examines the impact of financial inclusion on agricultural sector productivity in Nigeria using Classical Linear Regression and Johansen co-integration tests. The findings show a long-run relationship between financial inclusion and agricultural productivity. Specifically, commercial bank credit to agriculture, Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme Fund, rural deposits, and exchange rate have a significant positive effect on productivity, while inflation has a negative effect. The study recommends policies that promote sustainable financial inclusion, encourage commercial banks to expand rural banking, provide soft loans to farmers, and ensure fair loan conditions to boost agricultural output.
