Risk strategies in rural and agriculture finance - FAO 2017

Innovative risk management strategies in rural and agriculture finance.

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Rome, 2017.

The present study reviews recent trends in rural finance and investment in general, and in the agricultural sector in particular, within the Asian region. The analysis of these trends aims to offer a critical perspective on some of the main constraints to achieving more inclusive rural financial systems. The study makes a joint analysis of recent trends in both agricultural markets and rural financial markets, in order to highlight important links between them that can assist in the design of multisectoral public policies that are more effective in promoting inclusive and stable rural financial systems.
