Abstract

Using nationally representative household survey and utilising suitable quantitative tools, this study provides evidence in favour of the positive effect of participation in a credit programme on agricultural production. Our estimates suggest that credit had significant contribution towards household crop production–in comparison to an otherwise similar household without credit. Credit recipient households were found to produce significantly greater amount of agricultural commodities.
