Abstract

This paper assesses the impact of access to credit from rural and community banks (RCBs) on the technical efficiency of smallholder cassava farmers in Ghana. The study employed the stochastic frontier, and endogenous switching regression models to estimate the technical efficiency, and the impact of RCB credit access, respectively, on a randomly selected sample of 300 smallholder cassava farmers in the Fanteakwa District of Ghana. Results suggest that cassava farmers in the District are 70.5 percent technically efficient implying that cassava yield levels could be increased further by 29.5 percent without changing the current levels of inputs. The results further reveal that the gender of the household head, access to extension services, membership in farmer organizations, and proximity to the bank are the major factors that positively influence farmers to access credit from RCBs. On average, farmers who accessed credit from RCBs have significantly higher technical efficiencies than farmers who did not access, suggesting that access to credit from RCBs positively impacts the technical efficiency of smallholder cassava farmers.

摘要

本文评估了从农村和社区银行获得信贷对加纳小农户木薯种植技术效率的影响。该研究采用随机前沿模型和内生转换回归模型,分别估计了技术效率以及获得农村和社区银行信贷的影响,样本是从加纳凡蒂夸区随机选取的300名小农户木薯种植者。结果表明,该地区木薯种植户的技术效率为70.5%,这意味着在不改变当前投入水平的情况下,木薯产量水平可以进一步提高29.5%。结果还显示,户主性别、获得推广服务的机会、农民组织成员身份以及与银行的距离是积极影响农民从农村和社区银行获得信贷的主要因素。平均而言,从农村和社区银行获得信贷的农民的技术效率显著高于未获得信贷的农民,这表明从农村和社区银行获得信贷对小农户木薯种植者的技术效率有积极影响。
