Potential Effects of Modifying the Masagana 99 Program of the Philippines

Abstract

dc:description

The study was conducted to find alternative policy measures to improve the Masagana 99 program of the Philippines by improving farm performance as well as the viability and outreach of the lending program. The program is being threatened by the poor repayment of production loans by farmer-borrowers. Loan default rate is high (about 24%) in spite of the claimed increases in farm productivity and income, and farmers' access to cheap loans in the program.
