FINANCIAL EXCLUSION OF FARMERS AND RURAL ENTREPRENEURS
Journal Title: Journal of Agribusiness and Rural Development - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 36
Abstract
Financial exclusion appears to be greater in rural areas than in cities. The article concludes that the problem is connected not only with the people of low incomes but also individuals running their own businesses e.g. farmers and small entrepreneurs. The extent and reasons for fi nancial exclusion among such entities have been identifi ed and accompanied by the analysis of access to banking services – the key to effective management. The source of empirical data relied on survey questionnaires of farmers and small entrepreneurs in the rural areas in the south-eastern region of Poland. It was stated that in case of persons running their own businesses fi nancial exclusions is mainly connected with a limited access to bank credit, yet the reasons for this situation are diverse. Apart from the internal factors associated with businesses (e.g. low and unstable incomes, aversion to risk, lack of confi dence in banks etc.), signifi cant determinants lie on the side of banks and the structure of fi nancial system in rural areas.
