PDI : CALL FOR STUDY PROPOSALS
In Pakistan, more than 45% people generate their income from agriculture sector and 85% of them are small farmers. Small farmers are the largest body of the farming community. They are more unproductive due to scarcity of land and capital resources. They also lack skills for creating more marketable surpluses. They lack access to financial resources to adopt the modern agricultural techniques required for increasing agriculture production. They also face problems in getting credit economically from the private sources.
The fact is that the capital required for adopting innovative farm technologies relied on appropriate technology either comes from farmers own savings or through borrowing and agriculture credit thus comes to be regarded as an essential input in the modern technology.
PDI jointly with Oxfam GB is conducting study on Issues and Challenges of small farmers in accessing Agriculture Credit in Pakistan. The research is designed under the project "Enhancing Food Security and Resilience of Small Farmers in Sindh and Baluchistan provinces of Pakistan" with the support European Commission and Oxfam GB.
