Abstract
The participation of small farmers in developing countries in agricultural credit programs is limited by the financial risk resulting from borrowing heavily to finance the adoption of new technology. A simple intertemporal model of capital risk is presented which models the small farmer's decision to borrow to adopt new technology. Graphical and mathematical analysis indicate that crop insurance can help alleviate the risk-augmenting effect of borrowing, and thereby encourage small farmer participation in credit programs.
