    Give Me Liberty Chapter 1 Summary

    I used to think the banks were supportive of our United States agricultural market especially in the days of the 1800-1900's when farming was an essential element of livelihood and the American way. I learned in this chapter that the Farmers in the West and in the South, who were primarily cotton and wheat farmers found themselves in a troublesome situation in the late 1800's. The farmers had found themselves locked into their land and indebted because of the rising prices primarily due to the expansion of cotton exports and production in other places during the Civil War, along with the merchants, who were exhausting the farmers with high-interest rates and the banks who refused to help. The farmers had to react quickly in order to get help before they lost their land and their farmsteads from the economic insecurity that had bequeathed them.

    Agricultural Credit

    Agriculture plays a crucial role in the development of the Indian economy. It accounts for about 15.7 per cent of GDP and 52.1 per cent of the total workforce of the population is dependent on the sector, and despite a steady decline of its share in the GDP, is still the largest economic sector and a significant piece of the overall socio-economic development of India. The importance of farm credit as a critical input to agriculture is reinforced by the unique role of Indian agriculture in the macroeconomic framework and its role in poverty alleviation. Recognising the importance of agriculture sector in India’s development, the Government and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) have played a vital role in creating a broad-based institutional framework for catering to the increasing credit requirements of the sector. Agricultural policies in India have been reviewed from time to time to maintain pace with the changing requirements of the agriculture sector, which forms an important segment of the priority sector lending of scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) and target of 18 per cent of net bank credit has been stipulated for the sector. The Approach Paper to the Eleventh Five Year Plan has set a target of 4.2 per cent for the agriculture sector within the overall GDP growth target of 8.2 per cent. In this context, the need for affordable, sufficient and timely supply of institutional credit to agriculture has assumed critical importance.…

    Factors Affecting Loan Payment

    Agricultural lending involves giving out of credit (in cash and kind) to small- scale farmers for the purpose of farming. There is no doubt about the crucial roles of credit in economic development. Agricultural household models suggest that farm credit is not only necessitated by the limitations of self-finance, but also by uncertainty pertaining to the level of output and the time lag between inputs and output. Recent studies show the growth rate of investment in agriculture is less than other economic sector. So financing agriculture is one of the most important factors to develop rural areas in developing countries. Banking system payment is a way of financing. Generally, credit accessibility is important for improvement of quality and quantity of farm products so that it can increase farmer’s income and reduce rural migration. In the other hand, Lending is a risky enterprise because repayment of loans can seldom be fully guaranteed. Generally In spite of…
