Abstract:The relationship is examined between the volume of produce handled and the loans made by the cooperative produce marketing unions in the Western State of Nigeria during the 1970/71 marketing season. Pull responses were had from 17 of the 24 cooperative produce marketing unions. The results indicate a positive relationship between the tonnage of produce handled and the amount of loans made by the unions. The analysis thus indicates the usefulness of linking credit with marketing, suggesting that marketing cooperatives can serve as useful means for channelling production loans to small-scale farmers. Such loans will not only help to promote the marketing operations of the cooperatives concerned, in addition, they will stand a chance of being recovered especially since repayments are arranged to coincide with the marketing season.
