This article entitled, “Impediments in the Disbursement of Micro-Credit among Small Farmers (a case study of lower Dir Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan)” aimed to highlights the hindrances confronted to small farmers in micro-credit for agriculture production. The majority of the farmers are poor because of low agricultural production and income. The farmers are unable to increase the production of agriculture without the help of government support. The sample size of 152 respondents was selected according to the criterion design be Sakaran. The association between independent and dependent variables were analysed through the Chi-Square Test. The study inferred that high-financing cost; absence of access to miniaturized scale credit, inflexible standards, demeanour of the bank staff and lack of education were a portion of the preventions in the dispensing of micro-credit. Based on discoveries in the investigation, this was recommended that the administration should show a drive to give the smaller scale credit to little scope ranchers.
