Abstract :
This paper aimed to assess financing of
agricultural value chain with emphasis in mechanization
in relation to farmers’ socioeconomic factors .Primary
and secondary data were collected from Rahad Irrigated
Scheme by structured questionnaire. Stratified random
sampling, descriptive statistical analysis and chi-square
test to examine the association between variables were
followed. The results showed that finance was the main
obstacle to adopt recommended technical packages for
53.4% of the surveyed farmers .Informal sector was more
prevailing than formal one There was a significant
relationship (p=0.03) between technical package used and
finance source. There was a very high significant relation
(p=0.009) between gender and finance source. It was a
highly significant relationship (p=0.01) between
additional job and the annual income. There was a
significant relationship (p= 0.03) between gender and
finance mode and Murabahah which is an Islamic
commercial mode was dominant in financing.
