Financing as you rightly put is crucial to implement what we pledge to implement for the agriculture setctor and our people at large.
Important aspects in this regard from the perspective of developing economies include:
- expanding the tax base,
- making agriculture to be on the low carbon development path, and taxing/charging agri investments that are chemical intensive, reallocating the collection to support natural fertilizer based agri development practices among especially small holder farmers,
- making aggressive effort to create properly functioning agricultural value chains, that are deliberately well designed and interlinked farm to market levels, rather than spot market based relations among different value chain actors,
- with in the agricultural value chain development, develop also what is also called Value Chain financing, among actors linked vertically, such as a brewery offering pre and post harvest financing to farmers to adopt required modern farm inputs, seeds, farming practices, etc ... benefiting themselves through better yield and output, and better quantity and quality of farm produce (e.g., barely) supplied to the breweries.
- such value chain financing is helpful especially in common situations of lack of well functioning micro finance or other financing options in the rural farming areas.
RE: Enhancing funding and service delivery in agriculture: any ideas?
