80 GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP FOR FINANCIAL INCLUSION<br />

• Include the agribusiness sector in diagnostics of<br />

demand and supply for <strong>SME</strong> finance.<br />

• Strengthen contract enforcement, to support the<br />

contract rights for creditors, farmers, and <strong>SME</strong>s that<br />

underpin value chain structures and facilitate finance<br />

to all market participants.<br />

• Ensure that financial infrastructure is also relevant<br />

to agrifinance, for example that credit bureaus<br />

include value chain finance providers, that land<br />

tenure and land rights issues are addressed, and<br />

that agricultural equipment can be used as collateral<br />

through asset registries.<br />

• Coordinate policies intersecting both the financial<br />

and agriculture sectors, which is critical to facilitate<br />

access to finance for farmers and agricultural <strong>SME</strong>s.<br />

• Governments should invest in the regular collection<br />

and dissemination of reliable data related to<br />

agricultural finance, including to underpin indexbased<br />

insurance.<br />

• Support capacity building – which is necessary to<br />

enhance the capabilities of staff in financial institutions<br />

to serve agricultural clients – and the financial<br />

literacy and management skills of agricultural <strong>SME</strong>s<br />

and farmers.
