Agriculture sector has perceptions of the sector as being “high risk” as well as<br />

challenges inherent in the various sub-sectors hinder flow of finance. The most subsectors<br />

are poorly financed with scarce specialized products. Due to declining<br />

productivity and production, excessive intermediation, inadequate storage and<br />

processing, disorganization among farmers and market uncertainties access to finance<br />

is limited. In spite of this some activities to finance value chain players are in place.<br />

According this table we can see that the amount of all loan disbursed for agricultural<br />

sector over 25% for all crops. MFIs are not named such lending as VCF for two<br />

reasons: first, funding is not performed with value chains in mind; that is, no one is<br />

thinking about removing bottlenecks in the development of specific links in the chain.<br />

And second, extensive approach is used to achieve the objective of increasing profit. So<br />

profit maximization and usage of available funds are tackled using the easy approaches<br />

– expanding coverage of the clients, covering new areas, new or existing businesses,<br />

enlarging active portfolio, etc. These MFO activities are also reliant on their external and<br />

internal obligations to maintain portfolio in the agricultural sector at a given level, or<br />

increasing the share of women, etc. The goal determines the objectives, objectives<br />

determine the approaches, and the work is usually done in the least difficult ways.<br />

Targeted actions to finance value chains also give good profits for financial<br />

institutions and are the next stage of development, rather than simply concentrating on<br />

serving the region, expanding coverage, increasing portfolio and diversifying borrowers.<br />

It requires a more detailed analysis and intensive, rather than extensive development<br />

(going deep, not going wide).<br />
