Abstract

With the help of microcredit, a farmer’s way of life could be transformed from one of utter destitution to one of greater dignity. For the poor and disadvantaged, especially rural farmers, it unlocks potential and increases productivity and well-being. This study investigated the determinants of demand and supply of microcredit among fish farmers in Osun State. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select 150 fish farmers and 50 microcredit providers for the study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a simultaneous equation model. The result revealed that many fish farmers are males (86.5%), married (77%), and educated (95%). Simultaneous equation estimates revealed that farmers’ income, age, interest rate, and educational level determine microcredit demand among fish farmers whereas liquidity, experience in lending, and interest rate determine the microcredit supply in the study area. The findings of the study revealed that microcredit suppliers consider several factors before supplying credit to fish farmers.
