Overview

Descriptive survey revealed credit access, utilization, and repayment affect agro-entrepreneurship performance in rural women, indicating significant disparities.

Key Points

  • Credit utilization showed that 75% diverted funds into non-business purposes, affecting performance negatively.
  • Administrative chaos was prevalent with 97.5% never accessing credit from banks, relying on family or friends for funds.
  • The study employed multiple regression, identifying credit access as the strongest predictor of performance with β = 2.25.
  • Challenges like poor market conditions and inadequate skills hindered agro-entrepreneurship growth significantly.
