Abstract

Small and marginal farmers lack access to credit from institutional sources. The study focused on the choice of credit sources of small and marginal tribal and non-tribal farmers in western Tamil Nadu. Primary data were collected through a stratified random sampling design. Multinomial logit models were used to measure the factors influencing the choice of credit. Private borrowing was higher (74%) in tribal non-SHG members and 64% in non-tribal non-members. Results indicate that education is positively related to access to BL-SHG microfinance and BL-SHG microfinance with co-operative banks. Agricultural training too has a positive and significant relationship with the adoption of BL-SHGs.
