Abstract

Small farmer development programs have often followed a strategy of simply acting as a "broker" between credit institutions and borrowers. This approach stems from an assumption that institutions and farmers would both "profit" from getting together. The bare bones of the strategy is simply the demonstration of this mutually beneficial relationship. The present study reports on a pilot project that followed this strategy in bringing together private banking institutions and small farmers in Southern Brazil.
