A Study of Farmers’ Attitude on Institutional Credit for Agriculture in Theni District

Issue Abstract


Abstract 
Due to their restricted access to money markets, agricultural producers in
the Theni area encounter many obstacles while attempting to use financial services.
Despite the government's various changes and the money sector reforms, many
rural farmers have remained in financial distress with limited access to safety nets
like as loans to battle malnutrition and famine. The purpose of this article is to
confirm the variables that influence farmers' requests for agricultural financing. A
survey in the district of Theni was carried out. Fifty farmers were given a pre-tested
form using each purposive and sampling approach. Interviews were used to get the
data because the majority of square 2 measure were unwilling to fill out the
questionnaire. A regression model was utilised for the analysis of knowledge.
