The document discusses value chain finance and the government's role in it. It defines value chain finance as financial services and products flowing within and through a value chain. Value chain finance can be internal, between chain participants, or external from outside institutions. The government can help by identifying financing needs, tailoring financial products, reducing costs, and mitigating risks. The document lists various financial instruments used in agricultural value chains like trader credit, input supplier credit, and marketing company credit. It concludes that successful value chain financing requires strong financial institutions, organized producer groups, infrastructure, enforceable contracts, and engaged buyers.

Building the next generation of farmers
Supporting capacity-development of African Farmers Organisations through improved Policies, Technologies and Capabilities
Workshop , 6-7 November 2018, Brussels
Value chain finance is an emerging approach that is well-suited to meet the current needs of agriculture. It links farmers more directly to buyers and markets through the value chain, mitigating risks for financiers. There are various forms, including warehouse receipt finance, processor-centered finance, and trader financing. For value chain finance to succeed, supportive policies and capacity building are needed from governments, central banks, and development partners. Risk management tools and learning from historical models can help overcome challenges and make value chain finance a viable solution.
The document discusses the role of technical assistance (TA) in supporting agricultural lending to smallholder farmers. It proposes establishing a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to deliver TA. The SPV would act as a virtual broker, selecting and bundling services to facilitate efficiency and expansion while also integrating information acquisition with risk management. By demonstrating requirements, minimizing costs, and improving transparency, the SPV-delivered TA could reduce risk for lenders and enable farmers to access credit. A well-structured SPV could link farmers, lenders, input suppliers, and buyers through coordinated support networks and sharing of timely data.
Calvin Miller has over 25 years of experience in agricultural economics and rural finance. He has worked extensively in value chain development, finance, and institutional development in Bolivia and over 40 other countries. In this presentation, he discusses the changing agricultural landscape driven by dynamic markets. He outlines the stages of agricultural finance from directed credit to value chain finance. Value chain finance links all participants in agricultural markets through strategic alliances and financial products. New technologies, risk management tools, and a focus on clients' business needs are shaping innovative approaches to rural finance. Governments can support value chain finance through policies that build capacity and market integration.
The document provides an overview of the equipment leasing and finance industry. It discusses that most businesses require equipment to operate and that equipment financing accounts for $1 trillion annually in the US. It also outlines who the major players in the industry are such as banks, captives, and independents. Additionally, it discusses why equipment leasing is beneficial for businesses, allowing them to conserve cash flow, obtain 100% financing, and take advantage of tax benefits. It provides examples of career paths in the industry such as with leasing companies, suppliers, and entrepreneurs.
The document summarizes 16 common agricultural value chain finance instruments, providing brief descriptions of each. It analyzes the benefits, limitations, and potential application of several key instruments, including: trader credit, input supplier credit, marketing company credit, lead firm financing, trade receivables finance, warehouse receipts, forward contracts, and joint venture finance. The analysis finds that many instruments have high potential to increase access to finance but also have limitations, such as complexity, costs, or requiring standardized commodities.
Incentive-based contract farming (IBCF) and agricultural commodity exchangesIIED
油
Incentive-based contract farming (IBCF) was developed as a solution to overcome issues with side-selling and loan defaults in agricultural markets in Malawi. The IBCF approach provides farmers with incentive packages that improve each year if contracts are fulfilled, with insurance as the key incentive. Other incentives include prize drawings and risk-reduction measures. Communications are also important to explain the nature of IBCF. Key factors for success are consistency, investing over multiple years, and focusing on predictable supply rather than short-term gains. IBCF led to improved repayment rates, smallholder participation and yields, and now serves as a model for other commodities and the Malawi Agricultural Commodity Exchange.
The document discusses primary and secondary markets. The primary market involves the initial sale of securities to raise capital, such as initial public offerings. Companies work with investment bankers to facilitate primary market activity. The secondary market involves the subsequent trading of existing securities on stock exchanges. It provides liquidity for investors and encourages new investment. Some key differences between primary and secondary markets are that the primary market deals with new issues, has no set location, and occurs before the secondary market.
This document discusses a Pledge Guarantee for Health (PGH) program that uses bridge financing to address cash flow problems in global health development. It does this by having commercial banks supply letters of credit and payments on behalf of ministries of health, with PGH guaranteeing 50% of promised donor funding. This allows ministries of health to purchase supplies upfront before donor funds arrive. The goals of PGH are to leverage private capital to smooth donor funding flows, reduce business risks for suppliers, and increase procurements that have better value. It also intends to promote knowledge transfers to enable sustained interventions. PGH is starting to see quick wins in accelerating funding, empowering buyers, and increasing aid effectiveness.
The Brussels Development Briefing n. 57 on Investing in smallholder agriculture for food security and nutrition organised by CTA, the European Commission/EuropeAid and the ACP Secretariat was held on Wednesday 11th September 2019, 9h00-13h00 at the ACP Secretariat, Avenue Georges Henri 451, 1200 Brussels, Room C. The Briefing discussed smallholder agriculture and its key role in delivering food security/nutrition, and sustainable food systems, as recognised in SDG 2.
This document discusses a Pledge Guarantee for Health (PGH) program that uses bridge financing to address cash flow problems in global health development. PGH works by having commercial banks provide letters of credit and payments on behalf of ministries of health, with PGH guaranteeing 50% of future donor funding. This allows countries to purchase health supplies up front using the letters of credit before the donor funds arrive. The goals of PGH are to leverage private capital to smooth donor funding flows, reduce business risks for suppliers, and increase value for money in procurements. PGH aims to promote knowledge sharing to enable sustained interventions and their monitoring and evaluation focuses on delivering both health and financial value through various types of deals.

Consumer finance refers to granting credit to consumers to purchase goods for everyday use through installment plans. There are different types of consumer credit like revolving credit (credit cards), fixed credit (loans), and cash loans. Sources of consumer finance include traders, commercial banks, credit card companies, NBFCs, and credit unions. Factors driving demand for consumer finance are increasing income, installment payment plans, and growth in households. Products covered include cars, appliances, and electronics. Terms of financing evaluate borrowers' income, employment, guarantees, interest rates, and fees. While consumer credit allows purchases and economic growth, it can also lead to overspending, insolvency, high costs, bad debts, and economic instability.

1. Introduction
Some of the constraints related to product and financial markets that
smallholders face can be mitigated using value chain approach.
It brings chain actors including farmers, aggregators, traders, processors,
and financial institutions together to gain control over the processes of
production, marketing, processing, and distribution so as to reduce
transaction costs and enhance competitiveness of the entire chain
For financial institutions, value chains can serve an important entry point
to enhance their outreach to chain actors, mainly small-scale producers
and entrepreneurs, and to reduce transaction costs and risks associated
with small-sized loans.
Through value chain, a financial institution can obtain information on
potential borrowers at a little or no cost
2. Introduction
Value chain finance refers to:
financial products and services
- that flow to or through any point
in a value chain
- to increase returns on
investment, growth, and
competitiveness of that value
chain.
Value chain finance relates to use of
value chain in providing customized
service to participants along the
chain mitigating risk and enhance
the efficiency of the value chain.

Traditional value chains Modern value chains
A traditional value chain is
fragmented and long with high
marketing costs and margins at
each stage.
The Indian agricultural
marketing chain involves at
least four intermediates
between producers and
consumers with a large price
spread and with no or little
value addition to the primary
produce.
A modern value chain, on the
other hand, is organized linking
farmers, aggregators, traders,
and processors to reduce
transaction costs, to minimize
uncertainties in supplies and
prices, and to add value to
produce.
A modern value chain, thus,
provides a commercial context
to production.

Type of business
model
Drivers Rationale
Producer-driven Small-scale producers, especially when
formed into groups such as associations
or Cooperatives, FPO or SHG
Access to new markets
Obtain higher market prices
Reduce marketing and transaction costs,
Stabilize and secure market positions
Buyer-driven Processors
Exporters
Traders
Retailers
Eg- Contract Farming
In these models, the buyer takes a central
role in shaping and coordinating the
production, processing, and distribution
of agricultural products.
Assure supply
Increase supply volumes
Serve niche markets and consumer preferences
To have a quantitative and qualitative control
over the production process;
To reduce transaction costs of aggregation of
scattered small marketable surpluses;
Facilitator-driven Non governmental organizations
National and local governments
Make markets work for the poor
Facilitate regional and local development
6. Types of value chain finance
Internal value chain finance: When a supplier gives credit to
a farmer
External value chain finance: When a bank gives a loan to a
farmer based on a contract with a trusted buyer or a
warehouse receipt from a recognized storage facility
7. Informal within chain finance
The direct value chain finance usually
consists of short-term loans to
ensure a smooth flow of products
and to keep the activities going and
the value chain functioning.
This arrangement largely rests on
the trust between the input
suppliers and the producers.
9. Value Chain Models and Financial Instruments
1. Product Financing
(A)Aggregator Credit: Aggregator provides advance loans to producer and these
loans are repaid just after the harvest. Under this kind of system, the
aggregator provides insurance to producer that he will procure product by
financing the production. Aggregators may be medium or large farmers or
cooperatives or other farmer producer organization.
(B) Input Supplier Credit: Input supplier credit is the primary source of credit to
small and poor farmers. Under this system, input suppliers provide
agricultural inputs such as chemicals, seeds, fertilizers and equipment as a
loan to the producer, and this loan must be repaid by the producer just
after the harvest or any other mutually decided time.
10. 2. LeadFirm Financing/Contract Farming
In this system, a lead firm gives direct credit to foundation player in
the chain including producers.
In this the farmer produces crop under guaranteed buyback agreement
and the lead firm finances all requirements at the production stage.
The lead firm not only supplies inputs and working capital but also
finances extension services, high-quality crop seeds, technology
transfer, training and supervision of production.
The lead firm plays a very crucial and central role in the production
cycle
11. 3. Receivable Financing
Receivables finance is generally used for immediate cash flow by
businesses to convert sales on credit terms
Receivable finance, also known as accounts receivable financing, is a
financial arrangement where a business (such as a participant in the
agricultural value chain) uses its outstanding receivables as collateral
to secure financing.
12. 4. Physical-asset collateralization
(A) Warehouse receipts: Farmers or other value chain enterprises receive a
receipt from a certified warehouse that can be used as collateral to
access a loan from third-party financial institutions against the security
of goods in an independently controlled warehouse
(B) Financial lease: The financier retains ownership of the goods until full
payment is made, making it easy to recover goods if payment is not
made, while allowing agribusinesses and farmers to use and purchase
machinery, vehicles and other large-ticket items without requiring the
collateral otherwise needed for such a purchase
13. 5. Risk Mitigation products
(A) Insurance: Insurance products are used to reduce risks by pooling regular
payments of many clients and paying out to those affected by losses
(B)Forward contract: It is a contract between two parties to buy or sell
goods/asset at a specified price on a future date. These are not traded
