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...

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...

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...

A survey was conducted of 982 indigene households and 203 Hausa/Fulani households in southern Nigeria between October 1988 and March 1989. Results show that 70 percent of the indigenes and 98 percent of the Hausa/Fulani consumed some dairy products. Prevalence and regularity of consumption of loc...

In Ethiopia and Kenya, a unit of credit given to a credit-constrained farmer has twice as much effect on agricultural productivity as a unit of credit given to a farmer with adequate access to financial resources, according to a recent ILRI study. The study also found that giving farmers agricult...

This paper reviews recent research, first to present a picture of coming trends in livestock product consumption and production in developing countries, in general, and second to derive some of the market implications of these for smallholders in the highlands. Evidence is also presented concerni...

There are large economics of scale in processing and retailing livestock-origin food products, but much less in production once market distortions favouring large producers are either removed or otherwise balanced for smaller farmers through market-oriented means. In order to understand these und...
