| Abstract: | There are five basic purposes to this study: 1) to identify the factors that lead to pledging of tree crops, particularly oil palm trees in Nigeria; 2) to describe the process by which the creditor/debtor (i.e. pledgee/pledger) relationship is established through pledging; 3) to evaluate the use of pledging as a loan procuring mechanism with respect to the redemption problem; 4) to explore some other loan procuring options available to the farmers; 5) to propose some methods by which the present pledging System can be improved, keeping in mind the creditor, the debtor and the land on which the trees grow.
