The Bibliometric Analysis on The Worldwide Agricultural Financing Literature: The Mapping and Direction

The financial support plays a role in the most stage of agricultural sector. There are many literatures in this field, unfortunately, none of these maps in order to give the direction for the impactful future studies. This study quantitatively analyses 224 articles on Agricultural Financing literature during ten years period. Our selected papers were gained from the indexed-Scopus database that represented by English-language articles. Using a bibliometric approach, we investigate the field’s performance and evolution of the agricultural financing literature. A significant increase in the number of publications was seen in the last period of our observation. We find the most frequent author is Turvey, CG who comes from the most relevant country. We noted that the leader of author and country are not necessarily the impactful one. However, the Agricultural Finance Review occurs as the most frequent and impactful journal. We offer future research directions on agricultural financing, rice/maize, productivity, sustainability and smallholder farmer. This study gives the information that there is a rarely occurrence of Indonesian as the country’s contributor. Therefore, there is a great opportunity for Indonesian scholars to bring a novel from Indonesia’s agricultural wisdom. We encourage Indonesian Scholars to enhance the quantity and quality publications.
