“…However, by using a two-stage least squares (2SLS) model to overcome the endogeneity problem, Abdallah [31] found a one-way causal relation between agricultural technologies' adoption and access to credit in which credit positively influences agricultural technologies' adoption. In Brazil, the findings of Carrer et al [19] reinforced the hypothesis of endogeneity between rural credit access and agricultural technologies' adoption by using a three-stage least squares (3SLS) to estimate an SES.…”

“…The adoption of new agricultural technologies leads not only to increasing productivity and food security, but also enhances agricultural development, while reducing poverty [7]. However, new agricultural technologies' adoption may demand high investment and increase farm operational costs [19]. Therefore, the availability of financial resources is a determining factor in the farmers' decision process [11,14].…”

“…Some previous studies have assumed that agricultural technologies' adoption and credit are mutually dependent [19,31]. This means that access to credit could lead to the adoption of agricultural technologies, and the adoption of technologies could also influence access to credit.…”

“…Although relevant studies, e.g., [11,19,25,26], in different regions of the world, have established the relationship between credit and agricultural technologies' adoption, it is imperative to recall that no empirical study in Côte d'Ivoire has investigated this issue, to the best of our knowledge. This study intends to fill this gap by focusing mainly on the link between AC and FI in paddy rice production.…”

Does Credit Influence Fertilizer Intensification in Rice Farming? Empirical Evidence from Côte D’Ivoire

In Côte d’Ivoire, the use of fertilizers in rice farming still remains low. Credit constraints have been frequently reported as the main reason hampering rice farmers from reversing this situation. However, there is no empirical evidence on the link between rice farmers’ access to credit (AC) and fertilizer intensification (FI). This article examines this issue by using a sample of 600 rice farmers randomly selected in seven rice areas. Data are analyzed by the IV-Probit and IV-Tobit models. The results reveal that FI and AC reciprocally influence each other, implying that they are endogenous. An increase of credit by XOF 100 could increase the quantity of fertilizer used by 2.70 kg, all other things being equal. Moreover, FI and AC are strongly influenced by some socio-economic, rice farm, and institutional factors. Policymakers should take actions to facilitate rice farmers’ access to credit and subsidized fertilizers. Other relevant explanatory variables should be considered in rice farming development policies. By providing empirical evidence of the link between rice farmers’ access to credit and fertilizer intensification in Côte d’Ivoire, this paper contributes to the agricultural finance literature.
