Shakil BRAC Institute of Governance and Development Agriculture Bangladesh Farmer Microcredit This article was published in The American Journal of Agricultural Economics [©2018 Published by the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, Inc.] and the definite version is available at: https://doi.org/10.1093/ajae/aay070 The Article's website is at: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1093/ajae/aay070 We study the impact of an agricultural microcredit program on the livelihoods of small, marginal, and landless tenant farmers in Bangladesh based on a Randomized Control Trial (RCT). Twenty percent of eligible households acquire at least one loan from the program within two years of the start of the intervention. Results show that access to credit has positive but imprecisely estimated effects on adoption of modern varieties (MV) of rice as well as rice yield. The microcredit program increases crop farm income but has no significant effect on total income or expenditure. Although the program does not have a significant effect on most economic outcomes, it demonstrates an increase in farm activities among the targeted farmers. Our study suggests that facilitating access to credit without addressing other constraints may not be enough to increase investment and profits of tenant farmers.
