Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1985, twenty-three chapters are brought together in 4 parts dealing with, respectively, problems in rural finance, interest rate policies, politics and finance, and new directions for rural financial markets. In an introduction it is argued that cheap and abundant credit is often regarded as essential for rural development but that actions taken on the basis of this assumption have given disappointing results. Low-interest policies and the improper use of financial markets are seen as the principal reasons for this. It is recommended that higher and more flexible interest rates are allowed and that little or no attention is given to target loans. Informal lenders are thought to offer valuable services therefore they should not be discouraged. More emphasis should be put on voluntary savings mobilization and access to formal loans by non-farm rural firms. It is concluded that many traditional agricultural credit programmes are counterproductive and that attractive product and input prices together with higher yields would be more powerful in stimulating agricultural development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper characterizes the transition from small-scale farming and the drivers of farm size growth among medium- and large-scale farmers in Ghana. The research was designed to better understand the dynamics of change in Ghana’s farm structure and contribute to the debate on whether Africa should pursue a smallholder-based or large-scale oriented agricultural development strategy. The results suggest a rising number of medium-scale farmers and a declining number of smallholder farmers in the country, a pattern that is consistent with a changing farm structure in the country’s agricultural sector. More important, findings show that the rise to medium- and large-scale farming is significantly associated with successful transition of small-scale farmers rather than entry of medium or large farms into agriculture, reflecting small-scale farmers successfully breaking through the barriers of subsistence agriculture into more commercialized production systems. The findings in this paper also suggest that some of the factors thought to be important for change in farm structure are no obstacle to farm size growth, even though they may foster transition. Notably, the results here diverge from the patterns observed in Zambia and Kenya, which indicate that the emergent farmers came mostly from the urban elite. Unfortunately, past and current policy discussions have not featured these emergent farmers sufficiently in the quest to transform agriculture in Ghana. Government should capitalize on these emergent farmers who have a demonstrated ability to graduate productively as it strives to address challenges in the smallholder sector.

Download or read book Increasing Access to Formal Agricultural Credit the Role of Collective Action Organizations written by Allison Benson and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collective action (CA) allows individuals to overcome market and state failures, something particularly relevant in rural areas and highly imperfect markets such as agricultural credit. To analyse the relation between CA in the form of Rural Producer Organizations (RPOs) and access to agricultural credit, we estimate a logit model exploiting data on 2.3 million farmers in Colombia, as well as a fixed effects model using original data on 15,000 municipality-year observations of RPOs and credit allocation. We find a positive relationship between CA and access to credit at both the farmer and municipality levels. The relationship is heterogeneous, varying by farmer size and credit source. For credit allocated to small farmers, we find a positive relation, but only via public credit; for credit allocated to large farmers, the relation is also positive, but only via private credit. We find no effect of CA on medium-size farmers' access to credit. Our results imply that CA's potential to foster rural financial development depends on pre-existing contextual conditions, notably the segmentation of the credit market. The distributional effects of CA, and its dependence on contextual conditions, should be considered carefully in policy design.
