Descripción
“Agricultural Finance Revisited: Why?” is the first in a series of publications to be produced under the umbrella title “Agricultural Finance Revisited” - a joint initiative between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ). The publication reviews the different experiences and sets out the issues involved in the changing status of agricultural finance in developing countries. An enabling environment, dynamic policy generation and implementation as well as better banking practices that ensure improved effectiveness, efficiency and outreach of agricultural financial services are considered essential in efforts to increase agricultural production and in the achievement of socio-economic development objectives. The policy framework developed in the first of the publications listed below is then complemented with discussion of operational issues pertaining to institutions, their sustainability an d their performance.
