The Agri-finance innovation hub will focus on some of the critical issues faced by financial institutions in expanding their agricultural lending, including:
- Lack of Reliable Farmer Data due to incomplete or non-existent farmer profiles which makes credit risk assessment difficult
- High transaction costs due to manual processes and geographic dispersion
- Absence of traditional collaterals
- Low financial literacy
- Weak Integration with Agri Value Chains
This session will bring together stakeholders to discuss practical solutions, share field-tested approaches, and identify scalable innovations that can support more inclusive and sustainable agricultural finance.
