Learning
Friday, September 23, 2022
Online CISCO WebEx

Background: 

Agro-MSMEs operating in the intersection of agriculture sector and MSME sector form many commercially viable and socially impactful value chains. These value chains can seamlessly link the rural with the urban sector. Again, those Agro-MSMEs which operate in the green and social impact space could be powerful mitigants of climate change risk. Therefore, Agro-MSME financing has immense value proposition and financial intermediaries financing them with well-designed strategy and innovative products could potentially unlock tremendous amount of wealth for themselves, the MSMEs and the national economy as a whole.

Program Objective:

The CAFRAL Virtual Program seeks to discuss and explore the business case for lending profitably to Agro-MSMEs as they hold promise for the development of the rural, semi urban and even urban economies in an integrated, sustainable and impactful manner, while significantly contributing to the bottom lines of financial intermediaries. The Virtual Program would cover policy & regulatory developments and innovation in the Agro-MSME sector with inputs on the technical aspects of Agro-MSME financing.
