The study highlighted the following as major problems in agricultural lending. a. Delayed-processing of loan Application. b. High costs of both labour and inputs. L. Rising cost of both labour and inputs which usually makes agricultural projects planning nearly impossible.

Branch Managers should be given mandate to approve certain amount of loan volume. b. Tax clearance certificate should be waived for SHS and large scale individual clients. c. Committee meetings in which loan applications are considered should be held more frequently. | en_US |
