Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this paper is to discuss the problems of agricultural credit institutions in developing countries with specific reference to Jordanian institutions. A credit institution will often be set up by a government of the Third World to provide investment for the rural sector. This investment is seen as a means of promoting innovation and, therefore, efficiency in the agricultural sector. Through improved efficiency, it is also seen as a means of abating the poverty of farmers.
