This paper aimed to analyze the financial gap between the demands and the actual credit obtained of the Seng Cu (SC) rice chain participants in Lao Cai province, Vietnam. Cross-sectional data were collected from 160 face-to-face interviews with SC rice producers and in-depth interviews with 31 other stakeholders involved in the chain (demand-side) as well as the representatives of district-branch banks (supply-side) in 2016-2017. |
