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.
