Results of this study are useful for policy makers, finance providers and supply chain actors in agriculture. Conversely, we did not find any lower production risk associated with finance provided by farmers’ associations and other sources such as family and friends. Depending on the risk measure, a lower production risk was found for commercial credit from banks and flexible payments of inputs to kiosks. Production risk was measured by the coefficient of variation, skewness, kurtosis and the 25 th percentile. The collection of data was conducted among 434 farmers in Indonesia particularly farmers produced mango, mangosteen, chili and red onion. This paper aims to investigate the association between perceived production risk of horticultural farms and access to finance from different finance providers.
