The data were collected in two waves between January 2014 and March 2015. Survival is estimated using a lagged probit model.FindingsIt was found that the survival rate of SCPFs is influenced by ties to universal banks and cooperative credit unions that have a positive effect while those with ties to savings and loans companies have a reduced survival probability.Originality/valueThe findings of the study make a significant contribution to the agricultural enterprise financing literature showing the relevance of the different financial institution types in the continued survival of agricultural SCPFs.
