This document investigates the impact of access to formal microcredit on agricultural productivity. The study uses data collected from the National Agricultural Survey, with a sample of 12 078 observations. The formal agencies that grant the formal credit for this study are represented by AGROBANCO, rural box, municipal bank, private bank, NGOs, State programs, Cooperative and EDPYME. On the other hand, productivity is defined as the value of agricultural production in soles between the area per hectare. This study also analyzed the determinants of access to formal microcredit, resulting in socioeconomic variables such as education and language being significant when estimating the Probit model. Likewise, the number of parcels and the credit that is destined to buy a machinery have a positive impact on access to credit. This research used the Heckman model to determine if the study analysis presents selection bias. When performing the lambda test, it was confirmed that the model did not show bias. And therefore, the analysis was continued with an OLS method, where it was observed that the linear regression presented heteroscedasticity, but this was corrected with the vce command. As a result, it was obtained that the formal credit takes a P value of 0.01, which shows the significance of this variable. In conclusion, credit is an important factor that positively impacts agricultural productivity. Finally, this study recommends carrying out strategies to offer financial training programs to agricultural producers.
