To answer these problems descriptive analysis, logistic regression analysis (logit) was used. Formal institutions assigned to channel the funds include government banks and private banks. Informal institutions that carry out the distribution of micro-credit funds are the private sector or institutions from the farmers themselves. The majority of farmers generally know that the level of formal financing sources is indeed lower, but administrative procedures are considered difficult. Based on the results of logistic regression analysis for the factors that influence the decisions of Horiculture farmers in East Java in accessing credit, including education, length of business, land area, and income. It is recommended that in order to formulate steps for the ease of taking out agricultural loan, Field Extension Officers, regional cooperatives, government banks, and private banks should conduct specific studies and take specific approaches.
