      abstract = {Financing agricultural producers is one of the most acute  problems within
the entire scope of economic reforms in  Kazakhstan. State financial support
for agriculture in  Kazakhstan is episodic in nature, small in size, and  seldom
reaches the target recipients, while the commercial  banks are reluctant to
give credit to agricultural  producers. Although Rural Credit Partnerships
(RCP) are  very promising credit institutions for the agricultural  sector, there
are a number of challenges to their  development. This study is organized in
two parts: the  first part analyzes the RCP membership status  among
corporate farms; the second part analyzes access to  RCP credit by members
of rural credit partnerships (both  corporate and individual farms). The results
of the first  part of the analysis demonstrate that large-scale corporate  farms
with bank credit history are more likely to be  members of RCPs. The second
part of the analysis shows that  the purpose of a loan requested from the RCP
significantly  affects the probability of a member to have access to  RCP
credit.},
