PANEL 5
Agriculture provides livelihoods to many people in developing and emerging economies - especially those living in rural areas. Yet, accessing agricultural finance is often difficult for farmers, as the sector presents several challenges for financial institutions. Being locally based, member-owned organizations, Cooperative Financial Institutions are well-positioned to tackle some of these challenges and fill the existing financing gap. This session highlighted how various stakeholders can interact to finance agriculture, emphasizing the great potential of digitization.
