“The use of sound financial management practices in agriculture is quickly becoming necessary for survival and the area required for outstanding economic performance. Agricultural finance deals with the financial aspects of the farm business. It includes both macro and micro finance aspects of an agricultural economy. Agricultural finance is the economic study of the acquisition and use of capital in agriculture. It deals with the supply of and demand for funds in the agricultural sector of the economy. Agriculture is a major source of livelihood throughout the world, especially for the majority of poor people living in rural areas in developing countries. A key challenge for the majority of these farmers is - access to finance. Lack of access to finance is a key impediment to farmers in improving the efficiency of their productions and adopting better technologies. This book is supposed to serve as a tool for the students, researchers and scholars in the field of Agriculture studies.”--Back cover
