In order for rural saving to respond positively to incentives to save,<br />
what is needed is rapid and widespread technological change, which<br />
accelerates the ability to save and the rates of return. Th'le higher rates of<br />
return associated with technological change would make saving more<br />
attractive and thereby would enlarge the positive substitution effect,<br />
offsetting any growth in its negative income impact. In addition to<br />
encouraging income growth in the agricultural sector, this would result<br />
in higher capital forimation, which in turn would increase the need for<br />
financial SclVit:es. Ihrougl this mechanisn, scale and scope economics<br />
for the viability of rural financial institutions would also improve. To<br />
accomplish this, agricultural credit policy should aimi at improving<br />
vertical orgalization, density, coverage of farme:s, and the mmnber of<br />
functions performed by RFIs, besides maintaining interest rates that are<br />
conducive to inmestment.
