The Microfinance Institutions contribution in farmers finance

This Book analyzes the supply of MFI credit to food producers, which was carried out in the regions of Haut-Sassandra and Marahou. The data processing and analysis was done using the Social Performance Indicators (SPI) method and the Logit model. The results show firstly that MFIs have a wide range of services, but the latter is almost dominated by savings products, and secondly, the study has shown that the producer's prior savings, the presentation of a guarantee and the exercise of other income source activity promotes the obtaining of credit by the producer. The MFIs apply the same credit policy for all sectors of activity. This situation limits the financing of MFIs to food producers.
