To determine the extent to which credit can supplement limited farm savings to allow the adoption of modern technology and so raise food production and farm income in the Third World, three linear programming models (described herein) were developed. Data were drawn from a sample of 158 small, medium, and large firms in Cross River State, Nigeria. The first model estimated the extent to which farmers in the three size groupings could use their own resources to execute optimal farm plans with traditional technology. The second measured the extent to which credit could increase the efficiency of traditional technology in the three groups and so increase farm income. The third model estimated optimal credit needs of farm operators in the three groups using improved technology, given the farm operator's net worth and the interest rates on borrowed funds. Results, presented in detail, show that credit and the adoption of improved technology make it possible to supplement otherwise inadequate savings levels and increase labor, production, and income on all three farm sizes.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from first seen; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
