<br/><br/> This study analyzed farmers access to, and use and repayment of credit provided by the  Agribank, Vietnam using primary data collected through a household survey.  The findings of the study revealed that the Bank could not meet  farmers demand for credit  as  the  overwhelming  majority  of  them  could  get  small  amounts  of  credit.  A  considerable  percentage  of  credit  was  used  for  non - agricultural  activities  for  several  reasons  including  low income of farmers and lack of monitoring of th e use of credit by the Bank. Nearly half  of  small  of  medium,  and  nearly  one  third  of  large  farmers  could  not  repay  credit  on  time  for  various  reasons  ranging  from  fluctuation  of  the  prices  of  agricultural  products  to  damage of crops by natural hazards.
