BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Farmer need productive resources and these resources are acquired with owned or borrowed fund. Agriculture is very important to the economic of most developing countries of the world and because of this, a supply of adequate farmer finance is essential for natural well bring.

Agriculture recorded growth rate in 1975 at about 2.6% while the population grew at about 70% compared to 57-7% in 1993 economic growth summit (1995) the small scale farmers according to the national agricultural policy document for Nigeria (N.A.P.O.N) constitute over 90% of the food and fiber requirement of Nigeria on the other hand large scale farmers produce has than 1% of farm out put in Nigeria but they tend to have greater access to farmer inputs including farm credit or loan.

LIMITATION OF THE PROBLEMS

In this study a number of limiting factors were observed.

2. The problem or in accessibility of some of the local government in Edo state.

3. There were financial constrains and as a result, the researcher was limited to only Ovia North East local government.

4. The unwillingness on the part of some farmers to open up also contribute to the problems.

5. Another limiting factor of the study is that the banks may not like to give out the correct information as to the loan method they adopt in case of loan default.

However all these limiting factors will of course affect quality of the result of this research work since the work will be based on the available information?
