No full textNot AvailableThe paper investigates the nature of credit
transactions in artisanal marine fshing in a developing economy by analysing the case of Kerala, a
south Indian state of India. The study examined the
structure of credit in marine fshing and its composition; interlocked credit-market and credit-labour
transactions; segmentation of credit market; interest rate variations, and the potential reasons for high
penetration of informal credit in marine fsheries in
the background of a relatively better developed formal fnancing system in sectors outside fshing. The
study concludes that the risk-sharing role of the informal credit in addressing the high variability of the
income stream in marine fshing and the failure of the
formal system to develop credit products internalising the risk element perpetuates the informal credit
dominated by output-credit interlocking between fshers and auctioneer-creditors. While the fshers share
the risk of high variability in income stream through
the sharing arrangement, the auctioneer-creditors are
assuring the fow of fsh to be auctioned. However,
the system is not without “exploitative elements”
triggered by the monopoly power of stakeholders,
particularly auctioneer-lenders. The traditional “triadic system” involving fshers, auctioneer-lenders
and the society as regulators of trust that sustained
the informal credit system is weakening due to extraneous forces. The study highlights the need to have
credit products that bundle insurance.Not Availabl

in the 21st century. With rapid modernization and intensification of agricultural oper ations, land degradation has also increased simultaneously. This study estimates the
losses accruing to agriculture from land degradation. On an average, land degradation
results in losses in agriculture productivity amounting to INR 3654 per hectare annu ally (at 2011–12 prices). Further, a reduction in land degradation by 10% would
reduce direct economic losses accruing from land degradation to INR 3145 per hect are to INR 3654 per hectare. Examination of state-level cross section reveals that
annual losses accruing from land degradation vary considerably across states. A vul nerability matrix is formulated using four parameters to place the states (sub-national
agricultural units) in the order of vulnerability to land degradation. Further, we esti mate that an increase in land degradation by 1% could lead to loss of agricultural
productivity by INR 104 per hectare on average (2004–05 prices). The findings of
the study indicate that the adoption of land and water conservation measures stands
to increase the gross value added to agriculture by reducing economic losses accruing
from land.Not Availabl
