AGRICULTURAL CREDIT IN CANARY ISLAND, 1880- 1936
Abstract
Little is known about agrarian credit in Canary Island. The object of this article is to provide an overview of its evolution from 1880 to the Spanish Civil War. The canary agriculture changed when bananas, tomatoes and potatoes started to be the main exported products. Agricultural financing were necessary to incorporate small and medium farms to the process of change that was taking place. At the beginning, local moneylenders and foreign trade companies were the institutions who cover the growing credit demand, but the local banking system substituted them from the first decade of the twentieth century.
