2. The problem or in accessibility of some of the local government in Edo state.

3. There were financial constrains and as a result, the researcher was limited to only Ovia North East local government.

4. The unwillingness on the part of some farmers to open up also contribute to the problems.

5. Another limiting factor of the study is that the banks may not like to give out the correct information as to the loan method they adopt in case of loan default.

However all these limiting factors will of course affect quality of the result of this research work since the work will be based on the available information?
