FINANCING SMALL-FARM DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA

Chester B. Baker and Vinay K. Bhargava

Australian Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1974, vol. 18, issue 2, 18

Abstract: Small farm credit is important in public programs of developing countries. It is supported to finance increased productivity through modernization and to replace the exploitive moneylender. However, expectations often exceed performance. Indian research suggests the discrepancy may be traced to failure to account for the needs of liquidity management. It suggests, too, that programs that are designed to account for liquidity management can lead to modernization and to improved viability of small farms as well.
