As a result, the current study was undertaken on the agricultural loans that the farmers in Kot Valley had access to.

Calculations were made of averages and percentages. The majority of respondents have accessed loans for crops, while some have accessed loans for farming tools and others have accessed loans for seeds and fertilizer. The majority of respondents concur that taking out the loan increased their income. This improvement resulting from the introduction of the new crop. Therefore, it was recommended that the paperwork and other formalities needed for agriculture loans be standardised, streamlined, and kept to a minimum.
