“…In the literature, several studies examine the nexus between agricultural loans and agricultural production. Indeed, these studies (Sogo-Temi and Olubiyo, 2004; Das et al , 2009; Ahmad, 2011; Terin et al , 2014; Ekokotu Vincent and Lucky, 2015; Chandio et al , 2016a, b, 2018, 2020; Rehman et al , 2017a, b; Duramaz and Taş, 2018) reveal that there is a relationship between agricultural loans and agricultural production and the agricultural loans positively affect agricultural production. On the other hand, many studies (Carter, 1989; Carter and Wiebe, 1990; Feder et al , 1990; Binswanger and Khandker, 1995; Pitt and Khandker, 1996; Khandker and Faruqee, 2003; Awotide et al , 2015; Khandker and Koolwal, 2016; Narayanan, 2016) argue the benefits of agricultural loans in developing countries and indicate that agricultural loans rise productivity and farmer incomes.…”
