To support a small-scale agribusiness and improve its agricultural yield, Stanbic IBTC Bank, a subsidiary of Stanbic IBTC Holdings, has increased the capacity of Nigerian agro-firm, Huetha Global Services, to supply agro resources for soil improvement and enhanced agricultural production.
According to the CEO of Huetha Global Services Limited, Salem Ahenjir, the bank’s customer-centric agribusiness solutions and trust in the capacity of Huetha Global Services Limited have significantly contributed to its growth and expansion.
Salem said, “Our relationship with Stanbic IBTC dates back to 2012, and we have worked together to improve our financing for agro-inputs and increase our value chain capacity. Stanbic IBTC Bank offers the opportunity to off-take various commodities farmers produce from their farms. This way, we improve the agricultural value chain across touchpoints.
“We access financing for fertilisers and increase our support to farmers. Fertilisers have become a high price commodity which makes it difficult for farmers to access, but through our relationship with Stanbic IBTC Bank, we can timely deliver fertilisers to farmers at the best price.”

Oshin assured customers of Stanbic IBTC’s willingness and availability to partner with them for sustainable growth and expansion in the agricultural value chain.
He said Stanbic IBTC’s agribusiness offered versatile, affordable gap-funding solutions for vehicle and farming equipment, unforeseen financial needs, cash flow maintenance and flexible repayment terms.
