Accurate assessment of farmers' credit constraint condition is important in order to understand the circumstances under which credit would have its greatest impact. In this study a switching regression model was used to determine the impact of credit on smallholder dairy farms in the East African...

Credit constraints and smallholder dairy production in the East African highlands: Application of a switching regression model
In Ethiopia smallholder livestock producers have adopted components of improved dairy technologies but the intensity of adoption remains low. It is hypothesized that credit-related constraints limit the ability of many smallholder farmers to make investments in crossbred cows and/or to purchase c...

The role of credit in the uptake of improved dairy technologies in Ethiopia
Based on analysis of credit supply in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and Nigeria, it is shown that public credit institutions do not have sufficient funds to meet the demand for livestock credit and cannot mobilize savings from their clients or other commercial sources for one reason or another. In addi...

Supply and demand for livestock credit in sub-Saharan Africa: Lessons for designing new credit schemes
This study investigates the household-level impacts of market-oriented dairy technologies (crossbred cows and complementary feed and management technologies) on in-comes, food and non-food expenditures, nutrient intakes, and health of pre-school children. A recursive econometric model was employe...
