CHAPTER ONE

1.1   INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY  

        The real exchange rate and Nigeria agricultural exports-one of the most dramatic events in Nigeria over the past decade was devaluation of the Nigeria naira with adoption of a structural adjustment programme (SAP) in 1986. A cardinal objective of the SAP was the restructuring of the production base of the economy with a positive bias for the production of agricultural exports.

The foreign exchange reforms that facilitated a cumulative depreciation of the effective exchange rate were expected to increase the domestic prices of agricultural exports and therefore boost domestic production significantly, this depreciation resulted in changes in the studture  and volume of Nigeria’s agricultural exports as empirically determined by many researchers (Oyejide, 1986) Ihimodu, 1993, Osuntogun  et al, 1993, world Bank 1994). The depreciation also increased the prices of agricultural exports and studies have shown a marked increase in volume of agricultural exports over the gears. However, the volatility, Frequency and instability of the exchange rate movements since the beginning of the floating exchange rate raise a concern about the impact of such movements on agricultural treacle flows. Structural adjustment and agricultural performance among other measures, the structural adjustment programme (SAP) which starlit in 1986, abolished the commodity board, the body that since 1960 had been responsible for organization and purchase of agricultural exports. As a result farmers could sell their products directly to foreign buyers and local processors without any intermediary, this was expected to remove the excessive taxation on former products by the erstwhile marketing boards and leare producer prices to be determined by market forces. Giver that agricultural output is influenced by process among other factors, the depreciation of the naira and abolition of the commodity boards were expected to result in overall increase in production of exports.  There was a major increase in fire major agricultural export crops that had been on the decline since the 1970s. by 1985, only 375, of the 1970 output was achieved.
