Loan defaulters in Gujarat are older farmers with no training.
The study looked at how farmers in Gujarat use loans from a cooperative bank. They found that medium and large farmers are more familiar with the bank's services. Marginal farmers often borrow loans multiple times. Large farmers are most satisfied with the bank's services. There are differences in loan amounts taken by different farmer segments. Loan defaulters are usually older, have more farming experience, and take loans for longer periods.
