ABSTRACT: The
purpose of implementing current work was to determine the role of banking
services in development and progress of agriculture in Iran. For this purpose,
variables associated with bank facilities including long-term, mid-term and
current facilities were used as conceptual model of the current research. On
the other hand, existing indications and evidences indicate that in the process
of development and growth, employment in the agriculture sector has been
usually descending due to several reasons such as capital-intensive production
and using modern technologies, while this trend has been ascending in two other
sectors, namely industry and services. This paper demonstrates that the
agriculture sector in Iran has not optimally used all its existing facilities
and thus it seems that some employment opportunities have been lost there. This
issue was investigated by looking at the agriculture sector and using statistics
of time series from 1980 to 2010 as well as econometric models. In this regard,
the required information and data were collected in terms of library and field
studies, while SPSSwin software was utilized to run statistical tests in
addition to a comprehensive review on the existing literature related to
agricultural development. Thereby, the role of banking services was assessed in
development of progress of agriculture in Iran. The results of this research
demonstrated that the credits of Agriculture Bank have positively influences
employment and short-term and investment in long-term. Therefore, application
of a credit regime at least in short-term can develop employment opportunities
in this sector.
