Agronomic Aspects of Agricultural Lending

This resource is part of AgriFin’s collection of training materials on agricultural finance developed as part of AgriFin’s technical assistance projects with financial institutions in Africa and Asia. The training materials are intended for practitioners working in financial institutions that lend to agricultural clients – both farmers and enterprises. All training materials can be downloaded and adapted for re-use.  

The objective of this manual is to provide technical information on agricultural crops and livestock activities with the aim of increasing knowledge of agricultural loan officers and staff of Centenary Bank. This knowledge will help agricultural loan officers to distinguish good farmers from bad farmers and identify risks early on in the process.
