Abstract:

Green finance plays a positive role in promoting the development of ecological agriculture in China. In order to explore the relationship between green finance and the development of ecological agriculture in China, the article analyzes the relationship between green finance and the development of ecological agriculture in 2017-2021 by constructing two systems of green finance and the development level of ecological agriculture, using the entropy weight method and coupling model, respectively, with the help of the evaluation indicators to measure the development level of green finance and the development level of ecological agriculture. The results show that: (1) the development level of green finance and ecological agriculture is on the rise, but the development level of green finance is lower than the development level of high-quality agriculture; (2) The coupling degree of green finance and ecological agriculture development shows an upward trend on the whole, which confirms that the relationship between the two is increasingly close, and there is a large space for coupling. (3) The coordination degree of green finance and ecological agriculture development is generally high, which indicates that the two are relatively coordinated internally, and further indicates that there is an internal relationship between green finance and ecological agriculture development.

Abstract:

The primary sector is particularly important in Greece, especially considering the country’s current financial crisis, which has lasted since 2010. In an innovative way, this paper investigates the role of Contractual Agriculture as a tool for financing farming production costs in Greece. This study presents the findings of a survey of 222 producers, almost half of whom had used the Contractual Agriculture financing tool, utilizing descriptive statistical analysis via correlation analysis, statistical tests and visual plots such as bar charts. The main findings are that financed farmers are more positive than non-financed farmers about the importance and contribution of the value-chain finance of Contractual Agriculture in covering the cost of production. It ensures an uninterrupted supply of agricultural inputs, improves the possibility of negotiating the purchase price of pesticides and achieves more satisfactory bank terms and conditions for agricultural product financing, as well as the possibility of negotiating the purchase price of pesticides. Finally, in line with previous research, this study found that younger age groups are more hesitant to use this innovative financial tool, and producers with a higher level of education are more likely to use it. This study delves into the advantages and disadvantages for banks, farmers and commercial or manufacturing enterprises involved in such contracts, and its findings offer a comprehensive understanding of the practical implications for participants in Contractual Agriculture and for regulators. Hence, it demonstrates potential areas for improvement in the implementation of Contractual Agriculture in Greece, which could contribute to the growth of the Greek primary sector.

Abstract:

Agriculture, like all sectors of the economy, needs credit for its development. Experience in OECD countries demonstrates that in a competitive financial environment, profitable agriculture can obtain the credit it needs. Due to the difficulties faced by farmers in transition economies in obtaining access to credit, the OECD has periodically called upon member and transition experts to reflect upon the issues at stake and to share relevant lessons and best practices in the field of agricultural finance and credit infrastructure. This paper reviews the key messages from past work on this subject, including some observations from the Czech experience. These messages pertain to: the essential framework conditions for access to credit; the role of government policy-making, and possible channels for financing the agriculture and rural sectors. The paper then briefly suggests some linkages and implications that may be drawn between the EU enlargement and these three themes.

Abstract:

This study presents an in-depth analysis of climate finance within the agricultural sector and its pivotal role in fostering sustainability in agrarian economies. It investigates the availability, accessibility, challenges, and effective utilization of climate finance. Climate finance emerges as a critical resource for establishing funding mechanisms and incentives that support sustainable agricultural practices, bolstering resilience and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Secondary sources, including books, journals, articles, policy documents, and reports, provide the data for this research. The findings of this study underscore a vital revelation: private investors play a crucial role in augmenting climate finance, thereby facilitating the transition to sustainable agriculture. It is evident that their participation significantly enhances the financial support available to farmers and agricultural stakeholders. Furthermore, the study reveals that a combined effort from both government and private investors has yielded considerable progress in advancing climate finance investment within India’s agricultural sector. This collaborative approach has proven instrumental in addressing the challenges faced by those seeking climate finance in agriculture. It has effectively increased awareness, streamlined application processes, and strengthened institutional support, ultimately driving the adoption of sustainable practices. The implications of this research extend to policymakers, agricultural institutions, and financial organizations, highlighting the pivotal role of private investors in improving climate finance accessibility. The future scope of this research suggests that the effective utilization of climate finance has the potential to catalyse the widespread adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. The study emphasizes the importance of channelling climate finance through a variety of stakeholders to maximize its utility and make use of all available resources and instruments.

Abstract:

In recent years, China has continuously introduced policies and measures to solve the problems of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, improve people's livelihood, and enhance farmers' happiness. Green agriculture and green finance system are both dynamic, open and relatively complex integrated systems, which promote and interact with each other. The index system based on the development of green agriculture and green finance is established, using the entropy method and coupling coordination model, the comprehensive index of the development of green agriculture and green finance in Anhui Province, and the coupling degree and coupling coordination degree between the two systems are calculated. The research suggests that we should increase the policy support for the coordinated development of green agriculture and green finance, and accelerate the feasible path of the development of Anhui province.

Abstract:

Agriculture-based economic development planning is one of the efforts to reduce poverty in West Kalimantan by synergizing the performance of regional finance and agriculture sectors. The present study aimed at identifying relationship between the performance of regional finance, the performance of agriculture sector and poverty level of West Kalimantan. Analytical tools used to achieve the objectives of this research were descriptive statistics and panel data methods. The results show a positive relationship between the performance of regional finance and agriculture sectors. Gradual reallocation of agricultural budget can be an option for government to determine annual budget. Increase in preparatory investment and reallocation of regional government investment is a necessary policy to give allocation priority for agriculture sectors development. The agriculture sectors, in this case the segment of agriculture sectors on GRDP of West Kalimantan, negatively affect the poverty level. The development of agriculture sectors run by the government should be followed by the increase in human resources quality.

Abstract:

This paper aims at investigating the crucial role that the three pillars of the financial system – i.e. financial markets, products and institutions – are likely to play in order to speed up the process of modernization in agriculture, especially in agri-food chains. Four main areas of interest can be identified that consist of sustainable, inclusive, blended and rural finance, and that embody a set of strategic tools: their support to the agricultural sector ranges from its most traditional side to unprecedented forward steps, such as those pertaining to novel foods and to farming on Mars. While innovation allows for progress both in the financial industry and in agribusiness, glocal co-opetitive challenges surface from what can be found at the crossroads: a growing concern for sustainability issues is just an example, which leads to emphasize the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and the underlying generation pact. Focusing on finance, this is a qualitative research that draws upon empirical evidence and success stories; a framework for analysis is outlined, in an attempt at promoting rural finance as a specialized discipline from a theoretical point of view and a peculiar market segment for operating purposes, with relevant sub-sets such as agricultural finance, agricultural value chain finance and agricultural microfinance. Conclusions encompass recommendations that unveil academic implications; supporting arguments stem from – among others – the widely recognized need for upgrading financial education and literacy, especially in rural areas and even within the context of lifelong learning.

Abstract:

The World Bank has estimated that an additional $80 billion in financing are needed annually to achieve the 70 % increase in food supply required to feed the world in 2050. One of the cornerstones in achieving this increase in production is expected to be improved agricultural technology, where one of the latest additions is precision agriculture. It is believed that the money for investing in this technology must come from the private sector, but financial institutions are hesitant in lending money to farmers. This, in part, comes down to a high perceived riskiness in agricultural lending stemming from the risk composition in agriculture compared to other industries as well as from weak collaterals provided by farmers. This thesis aims to find what factors are most prominent in banks´ risk assessment of agricultural firms during the lending process and look at how precision agriculture could help mitigate these risks. We have gathered aggregated quantitative data from FAOSTAT and the Swedish Board of Agriculture on farm income and hectare yield (productivity) at Swedish farms. These variables were found to be two of the most important factors in agricultural lending based on previous research. In addition to this data, information on e.g. weather, ecological farming and expenditure related to pesticides, fertilizer, and machinery were collected to further the analysis. Precision agriculture is made up from a myriad of different technologies. We have opted to not separate the technologies in this study as the adoption of each technology included in the term is currently not sufficiently well understood. This aggregation of technologies allowed for us to use the dynamic AAGE-model to estimate the adoption based on the minimum hectare size where precision agriculture should be profitable at each point in time. The study finds that precision agriculture does have a positive impact on farm productivity and income volatility. Hence, precision agriculture should reduce the risk of agricultural financing given to adopting farmer which would increase the access to credit and, in continuation, lead to an increase in aggregated food production. In addition, we conclude that financial institutions should gain a better knowledge of precision agriculture technologies and use this information to improve the credit evaluation process in agricultural lending. Lastly, banks should understand how the risks related to information asymmetry and moral hazard could be reduced by utilizing the data available through farmers use of precision agriculture technology.

Abstract:

The Agricultural Development Fund (ADF) is the Government agency responsible for financing farmers in the Saudi Arabian agricultural sector. The ADF provides short-term loans and medium-term loans and funds specialised projects, as well as providing subsidies for some types of loans. From its establishment in 1962 until 2012, the ADF has lent more than £7.7 billion and the total number of loans exceeds 439,000. However, in spite of the facilities provided by the ADF, its annual reports show that the outstanding debt increased from £579 million in 1990 to £840 million in 2012; moreover, the reports reveal that some project areas have been receiving more funding than others. This thesis aims to assess the efficiency of the collection of loan repayments by the ADF. This aim will be achieved through four objectives: 1) analyse the current status of the regional distribution of agricultural loans to determine the optimal distribution of loans among regions to achieve development objectives, 2) examine the determinants of the efficiency of loan collection to identify and quantify factors that affect loan repayment, 3) explain the variation in collection rates among the ADF's branches and 4) provide recommendations to improve the probability of repayment and achieve the optimal distribution of loans. Variation in the current distribution of agricultural loans among regions has been observed. Using Multiple-Attribute Analysis, this variation has been identified as sub-optimal with respect to achieving development objectives. The highest priority regions for agricultural loans are the Northern, Jazan and Baha regions. Logistic modelling approaches have been used to determine factors affecting the repayment of short-term loans, medium-term loans and specialised projects; the empirical results of the overall model for short-term loans show that the age of the borrower and four regions have a positive significant effect on loan repayments, while the grace period, the loan value, the financial guarantee and three regions each have a significant negative effect. The results of the analysis of medium-term loans reveal that five variables have a significant effect on loan repayments: age, the grace period and loan value have a negative effect. Financial guarantee and three regions have a positive effect. The results for the specialised projects showed that the Hail region, feed and wheat project have a positive effect, while the Eastern region and greenhouses, livestock and vegetables projects have a negative effect on loan repayments, whereas the age of the borrower, the grace period, financial guarantee and loan value have no significant effect.

Abstract:

This study examined the effectiveness of the Fadama III, National Program for Food Security and International Fund for Agricultural Development programs in reducing poverty and income inequality in Yobe State, Nigeria. Agricultural funding in the state has increased by 670.7% between 2004 and 2013. Despite this trajectory, the state ranks among the worst in Nigeria in terms of poverty and income inequality according to UNDP report, reinforcing the need to investigate the impact of agricultural funding on the state’s welfare. Previous studies in this area have been on a country-wide basis and have not disaggregated the funding sources. This study disaggregating the funding sources of Yobe State in order to establish the effectiveness of each funding source. Field survey data from the fund beneficiaries and secondary data from the Central Bank of Nigeria, National Bureau of Statistics, and the World Bank provided empirical evidence. The first-best resource allocation theoretical framework was applied to understand the impact of funding sources on the welfare effect of the beneficiaries. The Ordinary Least Square, analysis of variance, and t test revealed that agricultural funding significantly and positively impacts on recipients’ standard of living, asset base, and agricultural output, without any significant impact on income. Results indicate that FADAMA III is the most effective in improving the overall welfare of beneficiaries. It is recommended that other funding programs should adopt the models of FADAMA III, and should also require counterpart funding in order to maximize the benefit for a larger segment of the population. These findings may bring positive social change by reducing poverty, expanding economic opportunities, and improving quality of life, leading ultimately to sustainable peace and economic prosperity in Yobe State.

Abstract:

The aim of the study is to assess the Impact of Agricultural Finance on Small and Medium Agribusiness in Zambia focusing on Lima Credit Scheme of the Zambia National Farmers Union (ZNFU) in sampled districts. Survey questionnaires were administered to 120 farmers selected from 8 districts. Two focus group discussions were held and key informants drawn from ZNFU, Zambia National Commercial Bank and representatives of the Agribusiness chamber and Insurance companies were interviewed. The study hypothesis that the LCS intervention has had no favourable impact on beneficiary farmers and Agro-Businesses in Zambia was proved to be null. To the contrary, the findings indicate that LCS had favourable impact on beneficiary farmers and Agro-Businesses in Zambia. Thus, the study findings show that to a greater extent the scheme had positive impact that include; increased knowledge among Lima Credit scheme beneficiaries through trainings in various topics such as financial literacy and crop husbandry, increased economic wellbeing of the LCS beneficiaries, more households procuring oxen drawn agricultural implements, higher production levels of maize and soy-bean, greater participation in the market by SSFs, increased income, among others. In addition to the descriptive analysis, the factor analysis too showed that the first factor access to production inputs based benefits suggests that in this component farmers accrued benefits from LCS which include access to market information, increase in area planted, increase in volumes sold and incomes. The second factor improved income based benefits suggests that respondents in this component acknowledges that as a result of increased incomes, they have recorded improved access to health, able to reinvest in other businesses, increase yield per hectare, able to pay loans on time, able to acquire agriculture Assets-Ox drawn, access to commodity markets and improved access to education. Unique to the scheme is the insurance cover on the loan amount that mitigates defaults resulting from natural cause such as drought and floods. The study concludes that Lima Credit Scheme had favourable impact on beneficiary farmers and Agro-Businesses in Zambia.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Agricultural financing has a wide and deep history in Nigeria, owing to the fact that the Nigerian economy has huge potentials for growth especially from its agriculture sector which is the second largest contributor to GDP. Since the establishment of the Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme over 30 years ago, the total sum of 647,351 loans amounting to over N34 billion have been disbursed to farmers as at 2009. The result from this study shows that the guarantee scheme has been effective in providing agricultural financing as well as stimulating agricultural production in Nigeria. More specifically, the study found that, out of the five variables used in the models to determine agricultural performance, the credit finance provided under the ACGS and foreign exchange rates was found to be statistically significant to agricultural output. The credit provided under the ACGS has a significant effect on aggregate output; it was also found that the crop and the fishery subsectors are significantly affected by the credit finance provided under the ACGS, due to their short gestation period. However, the livestock and forestry subsectors do not have an immediate significant relationship with the credit finance due to their long gestation period; rather, they have a significant relationship with the depreciation of foreign exchange rates. A major policy implication from the study is that the government should continue to promote and support the operations of the ACGS to encourage farmers to invest their best efforts in agricultural production in Nigeria for food production and for enhanced agricultural export.

Abstract:

Agricultural loans issued to farmers in Virginia from the years 1980-1985 are examined to determine the factors which significantly predict repayment ability. Through a review of literature, extension meetings, conferences and informal conversation with agricultural lenders in the state, a list of financial variables and operation characteristics is compiled and analyzed. Results of the analysis are considered in terms of their immediate and potential assistance to lenders in making loan decisions. Using data from various commercial banks, Production Credit Associations and Farmers Home Administrations throughout Virginia, a model is developed to determine repayment ability of a borrower. Results indicate that several factors are significant in determining this process. Financial ratios such as percent equity, current debt, cash flow I and cash expense-cash receipt are important in determining if a borrower will repay his loan as scheduled. A number of operation characteristics were also found significant. These include: the number of creditors of the borrower, the amount of diversification of the operation and the amount of non-farm income. The results of the study should prove to be a significant aid to lenders and implies need for further research in the loan repayment area.

Abstract:

The agriculture industry has been around for hundreds of years. Although farmers and ranchers work every day to put food on the tables of billions of people from all around the world, most agricultural producers require assistance to finance their operations and continue production. This research is motivated by recent changes in interest rates and the downturn in agricultural commodity prices. This study examines how farm-level financial statements are impacted by changes in interest rates and agricultural commodity market prices. A Monte Carlo simulation is used to model several stochastic variables and derive key financial calculations. This study shows how the financial statements of different agricultural operations change due to factors that are largely beyond the control of agricultural producers.

Abstract:

Food security is one of the most important issues that needs to be addressed in order to achieve UN Sustainable Development Goals. Currently multiple technologies are used in conventional agricultural practices, including application of artificial intelligence and GIS. However, the technologies are rarely considered in sustainable farming practices. Organic agriculture, although gaining traction in recent times, mostly relies on traditional, rather than technologically advanced approaches. There are, however, multiple opportunities to increase efficiency and effectiveness of sustainable farming by integrating it with modern technology. Implementation of such solutions would be particularly important in the Global South, where food insecurity is a severe problem. Obstacles to implementation of highly technological solutions in this context generally include lack of finance and skills. However, recent advances in technologies address both these problems. Thus, it is essential to consider application of modern GIS and artificial intelligence for facilitation of sustainable farming globally.

Abstract:

Malaysia agriculture sector has been heavily impacted by the pandemic and thus disrupted the agricultural food supply chain since early 2020. The problems of lack of labor, less production, movement restriction, market close, all has led to dramatically drop of income or even zero-income specially impacted the smallholders. Agriculture supply chain needed to be strengthened through a tighten collaboration between the sector’s supply chain stakeholders. Technology always the solutions for most of the problems, data can be collected through technology solutions such as Internet of Things, market insight can be achieved by artificial intelligent analysis and prediction, and such. The paper focuses on introducing the supply chain connectivity through an information sharing platform, Agrolink. It is an aggregator of the information resources that link all the elements of the agricultural food supply chain in Malaysia, which accessible by farmers, producers, service providers of the supply chain (including processing, logistics, finance, retail, etc.), agriculture food associations, government agencies, and educational research institutions. The paper discusses the methodologies adopted to build the information toolbox. Keywords: Information toolbox, Food supply chain, Agricultural ecosystem

Abstract:

This empirical study provides evidence of the most critical human´s activities on environmental degradation expressed by the Ecological Footprint indicator. The aim of this paper is to investigate the impacts of the selected data from statistics of economy and finance, land cover and use, population and social condition, tourism, agriculture, international trade, transport and environment and energy on the variance of the Ecological Footprint of consumption per capita in the countries of the European Union. Using the multivariate regression analysis, I examined the significant predictors of differences in the Ecological Footprint of consumption per capita. As the best explanatory regression coefficients of the model were estimated exports of goods and services in % of GDP, participation in tourism for personal purposes per capita and percentage share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption.

Full text

Abstract:

The continuous growth of cyber security threats and attacks including the increasing sophistication of malware is impacting the security of critical infrastructure, industrial control systems, and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) control systems. The reliable operation of modern infrastructures depends on computerized systems and SCADA systems. Since the emergence of Internet and World Wide Web technologies, these systems were integrated with business systems and became more exposed to cyber threats. There is a growing concern about the security and safety of the SCADA control systems. The Presidential Decision Directive 63 document established the framework to protect the critical infrastructure and the Presidential document of 2003, the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace stated that securing SCADA systems is a national priority. The critical infrastructure includes telecommunication, transportation, energy, banking, finance, water supply, emergency services, government services, agriculture, and other fundamental systems and services that are critical to the security, economic prosperity, and social well-being of the public. The critical infrastructure is characterized by interdependencies (physical, cyber, geographic, and logical) and complexity (collections of interacting components). Therefore, information security management principles and processes need to be applied to SCADA systems without exception. Critical infrastructure disruptions can directly and indirectly affect other infrastructures, impact large geographic regions, and send ripples throughout the national and global economy. For example, under normal operating conditions, the electric power infrastructure requires fuels (natural gas and petroleum), transportation, water, banking and finance, telecommunication, and SCADA systems for monitoring and control.

Abstract:

Turkey has benefitted from financial assistance of the EU in order to enhance the institutional capacity and the quality of legislation in different areas since 2001. It is aimed that Turkey could integrate easily to common policies when she became a full member of the EU via projects funded by the EU. In this context, financial assistance is distributed to both public and private sectors and also non-governmental organizations via Central Finance and Contracts Unit (CFCU), National Agency, Agriculture and Rural Development Support Institution (ARDSI), and Ministries. At least 50% or all of the funds in some projects have been taken from the EU. After recognition of Turkey as a candidate country by the EU in December 1999, accession negotiations started between Turkey and the EU in October 2005. Therefore, the study covers the period of 2000-2015. The method of STEEPLED Analysis was used in the study. EU grant projects implemented in the last 15 years were investigated various point of view (Social, Technological, Economics, Environmental, Politics, Legal, European and Demographic) and in the light of the findings, contribution of the EU grant schemes to the local/regional development, employment, environmental conservation and reduction of poverty were determined.

Full text

Abstract:

The concept of globalization has arisen from a combination of those developments together with certain political and cultural issues. Economically the term globalization refers to the decrease of borders between states since goods and services, capital, and labour flows from one state to each other easily. This flow makes economic sectors and markets more integrated to each other, and as a result the interaction between them gains significance. With the emergence of the globalization process, commercial borders such as tariffs, restrictions and heavy duties have been cut out or lightened, since the new integrated economic system requires the border-less flow of factors of production. In such a globalized economic system, the growth or contraction of a specific sector in one country can have an effect on another, since markets are inter-connected and world trade is at its highest levels. Similarly, financial crises affect different sectors of different countries at changing levels, as in the case of the recent world financial crisis. Within this context the aim of this study is to observe in what degree the global sectors are in interaction with each other. The first part of the study is constituted of specifying the sectors that are going to be observed such as agriculture, manufacturing, services and finance. Secondary and quantitative sectoral data of the major world economic powers and Turkey have been collected. In the next step the classified sectoral data for different countries or country groups is compared and analysed to represent the sectoral interaction.

Full text

Abstract:

The Commercial Agriculture for Smallholders and Agribusiness (CASA) programme aims to drive global investment towards climate-resilient agri-food systems that increase smallholder farmers' incomes. CASA's research component has recently identified the challenges faced in mobilizing climate finance for agriculture, and particularly for climate adaptation, as well as the existence of a funding gap for small and medium-sized agriculture enterprises (agri-SMEs) of around $106 billion (ISF Advisors, 2022). CASA is particularly interested in analysing the evolving landscape of initiatives that aim to mobilize public and private finance for climate adaptation and resilience in agriculture. The aim of this report is to gain a better understanding of the landscape of climate finance initiatives, the means by which they aim to create change, the types of members who are engaged in them, and areas which may be under-served by such initiatives. The report identifies and analyses initiatives which support climate finance mobilization for climate adaptation in agriculture in low- and middle-income countries. The report analyses and categorizes (by sector, climate action focus, geographic scope, and membership typology) a total of 51 initiatives from across the world that aim to mobilize climate finance. The report also introduces a typology for categorizing these initiatives, based on the primary means they use to mobilize action and investment. The report covers the strategies used to encourage and facilitate engagement among members of different initiatives. It also provides an overview of the coverage of these initiatives, including their geographic and thematic focus, as well as the degree to which they address climate adaptation in agriculture. It offers recommendations to initiatives and their members on ways to enhance their impact and address key knowledge and action gaps.

Full text

Abstract:

Trade policy provides a powerful set of levers for accelerating a transition to more inclusive and sustainable agricultural practices. Yet, trade in agriculture is often reliant on unsustainable methods of production, misaligned to tackling hunger, inadequate in support for decent farmer livelihoods, with negative climate and environmental impacts. Several countries are pioneering efforts to reform agricultural support schemes. This briefing highlights two key priorities in aligning trade policy with efforts to reform support for a transition to sustainable and inclusive food systems: core environmental standards coupled with scaling finance to support global South producer compliance.

Full text

Abstract:

The Commercial Agriculture for Smallholders and Agribusiness (CASA) Programme aims to drive global investment towards inclusive climate-resilient agri-food systems that increase smallholder incomes. CASA's research component has recently identified the challenges faced in mobilizing climate finance in agriculture, and particularly in climate adaptation, as well as the existence of a funding gap for small and medium-sized agriculture enterprises (agri-SMEs) of around $106 billion (ISF Advisors, 2022). Of particular concern is the minimal funding that would be needed to help smallholder farmers adapt to the challenge of climate change and increase their resilience. Adaptation for smallholder farmers might include investment in drought-resistant seeds, technologies and practices that enable climate-smart agriculture, investment in improved water management, and investment in improved management of food waste, including facilities for storage of crops. Smallholder farmers may also benefit from interventions that protect the natural environment on which they depend (e.g. interventions relating to water supplies, soil quality or soil stabilization), or from activities that augment their incomes through payments for the protection of natural capital. Investment in these nature-based solutions (NbS) can potentially contribute to capital flows to smallholder farmers, even though they are often primarily designed to deliver carbon sequestration benefits to companies or investors seeking a 'net zero' position. This report seeks to answer the following questions, which were explored through interviews with key sectoral stakeholders (principally in Asia): What types of investments in agricultural adaptation and NbS are being made by different categories of investors? What are the barriers to investment in climate adaptation in agriculture and in NbS? What opportunities are emerging for these types of investment? What partnerships are required to help drive capital towards these areas of investment? What evidence is needed to drive capital towards these areas of investment?

Hague, Mathias, Michael Obanubi, Michael Shaw, and Geoff Tyler. The development impact of concessional finance to agri-business: a rapid evidence review. Commercial Agriculture for Smallholders and Agribusiness (CASA), 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1079/20240191179.

Full text

Abstract:

The provision of concessional finance has become an increasingly important tool to support enterprise development, especially where financial markets are underdeveloped. For the purposes of this research, concessional finance is defined as that which is extended on terms and/or conditions that are more favourable than those available from the market. This can be achieved, for example, via lower risk adjusted return expectations; terms and conditions that would not be accepted/extended by a commercial financial institution; and/or by providing financing to a borrower/recipient not otherwise served by commercial financing. Risk mitigation tools, guarantees and first-loss products are also included when they are provided on concessional terms. The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) of the United Kingdom (UK) has committed funding to a range of concessional finance investors in the agriculture sector, including significant sums for the CDC Group (the UK's development finance institution), AgDevCo (a specialist agribusiness impact investor), the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP) Private Sector Window, and the Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund (AECF). FCDO also makes smaller contributions to more specialized institutions as well as collaborative interventions with other donors in the agriculture sector. These organizations cover the spectrum of investment themes, from close-to-market interest rates for more established businesses to long-term, low- or no-interest debt with packages of advisory support for early stage or highly innovative business models. They deploy a wide range of instruments, some funded, which includes all types of concessional debt and equity; and others unfunded, which covers risk mitigation tools, guarantees and first-loss products when they are provided on concessional terms. Implementing partners use different methods for monitoring and reporting the performance of the concessional funding provided by donors, using both customized measurement mechanisms or those based on more broadly accepted standards such as the Donor Committee for Enterprise Development (DCED). Research ranges from light touch human interest case studies to more formal longitudinal analysis using rigorous statistical survey methods. Academic institutions are increasingly contributing quality research, particularly to the assessment and understanding of development impact, often in partnership with impact investors. Donors themselves both directly engage in research but also provide the majority of the funding for evidence-based learning in both investors and academia. After more than a decade of concerted investment and innovation in the concessional finance space, particularly in sub Saharan Africa and South Asia, there is increasing interest in understanding whether these interventions are providing the development impacts expected and which financing tools and institutions are most effective for different types of farmer and or food market systems. These lessons will allow good practices to be replicated in future and implementation modalities to be improved to maximize development impact and financial performance.

Full text

Abstract:

The issue of agricultural taxation has almost completely disappeared from the scholarly and policy agendas in recent decades. And yet, agriculture is taxed very lightly despite contributing substantially to GDP across many Global South countries today. In some cases, light-touch taxation may be necessary to encourage investment in the sector and to protect small and subsistence farmers. However, anecdotal evidence from countries like Uganda suggests that there are a substantial number of high-income earners engaged in agricultural activities that are sheltered almost completely from any form of taxation. More effectively taxing these high-income earners could provide much-needed resources to finance public service provision in lower-income countries. The time is ripe, this paper argues, to revitalise discussions about how best to tax the agriculture sector.

Full text

Abstract:

We conduct a meta-analysis of 44 studies and 68 different managerial skills training programs, with the aim of identifying program characteristics that can lead to more effective public policies promoting firm growth and entrepreneurship. We synthesize 431 estimates to assess the effects of these programs on firm performance. Our findings show that, on average, managerial skills development programs have positive returns on management practices, firm productivity, profits, and survival. We also examine how program and participant specifications affect program effectiveness. Our analysis suggests that, on average, business training programs focused on human resources, soft skills, marketing, and finance-accounting, especially when organized by local organizations, tend to result in better firm performance. Moreover, training of potential entrepreneurs and managers in specifically targeted sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, or services was more likely to result in improvement compared to non-targeted programs. Finally, our results indicate that programs that involve both male and female participants are more likely to enjoy higher effects from managerial training interventions.

Bernal, Richard L. Chinese Foreign Direct Investment in the Caribbean: Potential and Prospects. Inter-American Development Bank, November 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0009313.

Full text

Abstract:

China has recently become the third largest source of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the world and is a major source of development aid for developing countries, including those in the Caribbean. The capital flows it provides have taken the form of loans to governments to finance infrastructure projects and to expand production of oil and other raw materials. There have been indications of interest in further investment in the Caribbean from Chinese enterprises and entrepreneurs. This is driven by both state policy, which seeks to more actively integrate China into the global economy, and enterprise-level interests by both state and private enterprises. Caribbean governments have generally been receptive to prospective incoming FDI. This paper identifies the instances of Chinese FDI in the Caribbean to date and discusses the potential for further investment, highlighting opportunities in agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, mining, infrastructure, and fishing. The factors influencing the emergence of Chinese FDI in the Caribbean include: the ongoing learning process by both investors and the governments of host countries; the performance of vanguard companies; transnational ethnic business networks; the local business environment; and the policies of Caribbean governments.
