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:

Purpose Lack of access to finance is one of the major contributing to low profitability in agriculture. Various policy interventions were performed for promoting access to finance. However, access to finance always remained one of the biggest challenges to Indian policymakers. The purpose of this paper is to explore the policy interventions in the areas of agriculture finance. Design/methodology/approach This paper makes an attempt to explore the relation of earlier policy initiatives with the current microfinance industry as well. The data for the paper are collected from Reserve Bank of India Archive Museum at Pune. This Museum is having huge collection of archives of policy documents of the Indian financial sector and is one of its kinds in India. Findings The study concludes that many of the interventions of today were earlier experimented or proposed in the past but, due to some or the other reason those, interventions were not successful. The study concludes that if those interventions had been implemented that time, it would have taken India in one of the tops in the list of financial inclusion. Originality/value This paper is a unique in its feature as it has tried to link the evolution of agriculture finance and the microfinance industry of India as microfinance is an integral part of agricultural finance in India.

Abstract:

Abstract More than one-quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture, forestry, and land-use change. As with other sectors of the economy, agriculture should also contribute to meeting countries’ emission reduction targets. Transformation of agriculture to low-carbon food systems requires much larger investments in low emission development options from global climate finance, domestic budgets, and the private sector. Innovative financing mechanisms and instruments that integrate climate finance, agriculture development budgets, and private sector investment can improve and increase farmers’ and other value chain actors’ access to finance while delivering environmental, economic, and social benefits. Investment cases assessed in this study provide rich information to design and implement mitigation options in agriculture through unlocking additional sources of public and private capital, strengthening the links between financial institutions, farmers, and agribusiness, and coordination of actions across multiple stakeholders. These investment cases expand support for existing agricultural best practices, integrate forestry and agricultural actions to avoid land-use change, and support the transition to market-based solutions.

Abstract:

This study provides theoretical and empirical evidence for the agricultural–ecological benefits of digital inclusive finance development. We analyzed the satellite resolution data of agricultural fires and an aggregate development index of digital inclusive finance at the county level in China from 2014 to 2016. The regression analysis demonstrated that digital inclusive finance development can inhibit straw burning, and that the inhibiting effect is more effective in agriculture-oriented counties located in the plain area of the eastern-central developed regions. Additionally, the influence mechanism, whereby digital inclusive finance development may reduce straw burning by improving agricultural mechanization, was also examined. The impact of digital inclusive finance on green agriculture production needs to be explored further since it is a revolutionary mode of financial development.

Abstract:

Enhancing the effectiveness of green development of the agricultural trade economy with green finance is a practical need to promote the healthy development of agricultural trade. This manuscript empirically analyzes the impact of green finance on China’s agricultural products import and export trade by using provincial-level panel data from 30 Chinese provinces from 2001–2019. The findings show that: (1) Green finance positively impacts China’s agricultural import and export trade at the 1% significant level, expanding the scale of agricultural imports and exports. (2) The positive impact of green finance on China’s agricultural import and export trade is heterogeneous across regions. Accordingly, this paper puts forward policy suggestions such as strengthening the support of green finance to agriculture, focusing on the improvement of green total factor productivity in agriculture, and promoting synergistic regional development through the implementation of differentiation of green finance.

Abstract:

Under the strategy of rural revitalization, the development of digital inclusive finance is an effective way to alleviate the long-standing problem of "difficult and expensive financing" in the "three rural areas", and is an inherent requirement for achieving high-quality development of Chinese agriculture. Based on the panel data of Chinese provinces from 2011 to 2021, this paper adopts a three-stage SBM-DEA model to measure the total factor productivity of agriculture and analyzes the impact of digital financial inclusion on total factor productivity of agriculture. The study shows that, firstly, the development of digital inclusive finance plays a more significant role in enhancing total factor productivity in agriculture, and the depth of use plays the strongest contributing role among the sub-indicators. Second, there is heterogeneity in the effects of digital inclusive finance on agricultural total factor productivity in terms of time and geographical location. Third, the mechanism analysis shows that deepening human capital and regional innovation capacity can effectively drive the growth of agricultural total factor productivity. The research in this paper contributes to a deeper understanding of how agricultural total factor productivity is measured, and the theoretical mechanisms by which digital inclusive finance drives agricultural total factor productivity.

Abstract:

Carbon emissions from agriculture should not be underestimated. With the aim for carbon peaking and carbon neutralization and the help of digital inclusive finance, the effective reduction in carbon emissions in agriculture and animal husbandry production is crucial to achieving China’s carbon emission reduction goals. We used the balanced panel data of 31 provinces in China from 2011 to 2021 to study this issue. We empirically tested the impact, mechanism, and heterogeneity of digital inclusive finance on agricultural carbon emissions based on the systematic measurement of agricultural carbon emissions. The results revealed that (1) the development of digital inclusive finance has a significant inhibitory effect on agricultural carbon emissions, and it is an important path to reduce agricultural carbon emissions. (2) Through the intermediary effects’ analysis, it was found that capital deepening is an important transmission mechanism for the promotion of agricultural carbon emission reduction through digital inclusive finance. (3) Further analysis using the quantile regression model reveals that the impact of digital inclusive finance on agricultural carbon emissions is significantly negative at different quantiles. (4) Through the spatial Durbin model, digital inclusive finance has a space carbon enhancement effect. Finally, we put forward suggestions to promote the development of low-carbon agriculture by paying attention to the technical effect of digital inclusive finance, strengthening the connection and cooperation between various regions and promoting the carbon emission reduction role of capital deepening.

Abstract:

This study reviews the theoretical literature regarding determinants and the limitations to the demand side of rural finance in Liberia with the coming into effect of the National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS). The outcome of this study reveals that education, income level, household assets, and agriculture rank as the outstanding drivers of the demand for finance in Liberia’s rural market. Obviously, the demand for financial services in the rural market of Liberia is very high. However, the demand is limited by a litany of factors such as slow economic growth & lack of job opportunities, poor public infrastructure, structural unemployment, few diversification opportunities, seasonality in agriculture, imperfect information & supervision, and poor social protection and market failures. The keywords used by the author in this article encompass creditworthiness, information asymmetry, financial inclusion, Pareto efficiency, poverty alleviation, and rural finance. Keywords: Credit worthiness, Financial inclusion, Information asymmetry, Pareto efficiency, Poverty alleviation, Rural finance.

<p>This paper aims to present a comprehensive review of 110 studies on agriculture credit in developing countries during 1995 to 2015. The literature has been classified and presented on the basis of time period, country of study, methodology used, issues covered, and sources of study. Agriculture credit has gained interest of policy makers and researchers in developing economies in recent years with raising concerns of issues like food security and rising population. However, the situation of small and marginal farmers is still vulnerable and they lack timely and adequate access to institutional sources of finance. Non-institutional sources of credit are still dominant in rural credit markets; while the role of micro-finance appears dubious. This study will prove helpful for policy makers and future researchers who wish to study diverse issues in rural finance in general and agriculture credit in particular.</p>

Abstract:

We identify three types of obstacles (missing institutions) that limit the process of financial deepening in rural financial markets. Each of these obstacles contributes to a continuing and common dilemma in developing countries - the lack of long-term finance. In Africa, as in most developing regions, there is need to develop a more consistent strategy for improving access to term finance in agriculture and rural areas. Although some examples of term financing can be found in African agriculture, the general lack of term financing in rural areas can be linked to the lack of general policy measures to enhance the environment for long-term financing, weak effective demand for rural and agricultural investment financing, and inadequate capacity of lenders to provide long-term finance to those clientele.

Abstract:

To meet the global population needs, it is projected to at least eighty billion dollars in investment per year to support the food security until 2050. It is widely known that the agriculture financing growth has stalled due to many reasons. Islamic finance has potential to spur the growth of agriculture financing to promote global food security. Meanwhile, agriculture in Indonesia is still nowhere to its potential. It is hindered by an inefficient and underdeveloped downstream segment, low access to financial and technology. This is a huge opportunity for Islamic finance in helping to bridge the gap through value chain finance approach as one of the strategies to reduce risk and give socio-economic spill-over effect along the chain. Islamic finance can promote agricultures sustainability and a more efficient process with FinTech enabled platform. The multiple case study proposes a sharia compliant community-based financing model in agricultural value chain practice with FinTech enabled platform. The result is this model integrating all actors from different market segmentation (landowners, suppliers, farmers, brokers, retailers, investor) into an Islamic value chain financing platform. However, determining buying intention, partnership establishment, and technology infrastructure are pivotal for its future implementation.

Abstract:

A variety of climate-smart agriculture technologies, practices, and services have been introduced in climate-smart villages as adaptation strategies to cope with climate risks and ensure stability and sustainability in agricultural production. Farmers who utilize climate-smart agriculture adaptation strategies have been shown to achieve higher output, yield, and return compared to those who do not. There are promising opportunities to scale out these strategies and immense potential to enhance crop yields and farm incomes while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Strengthening agricultural extension services and agricultural finance by linking climate finance to traditional agricultural finance could play a significant role in scaling out climate-smart agriculture practices and technologies. This would make agriculture more sustainable and climate-resilient, thereby becoming a viable source of livelihood and food security for millions of farmers in the country. Zero budget natural farming is a climate-resilient farming system that can enhance food and nutritional security while allowing farmers to improve soil fertility and yields at lower costs, risks, and irrigation requirements. This system protects the ecosystem by improving soil organic matter, water retention, and biodiversity, while reducing air and water pollution as well as greenhouse gas emissions.

Abstract:

Indonesia is struggling with utmost pressure to restrict carbon emissions as it is included in those emerging economies who are recognized as highest carbon emitters. Nevertheless, the Indonesian government is showing remarkable effort to reduce the emissions and set a planned goal to achieve low carbon economy. However, the major reliance on fossil fuels to maintain economic growth is creating obstacles for country. To explore that what tools could be helpful in the scenario to support country’s goal. The study intends to measure the role green finance, innovation, agriculture finance and sustainable economic development in gauging carbon intensity. The paper used two indicators to measure sustainable economic development; GDP per capita and renewable energy consumption. The panel data is used in the study which is extracted from 30 provinces of Indonesia in the time span of 2006-2020. The study used OLS fixed effect model and quantile regression technique to assess the relationship between explained variable and explanatory variables. Findings echo that with the increase in economic growth, carbon intensity also starts increasing. However, green finance, innovation, agriculture finance and renewable energy are significant tools to reduce the emissions. Furthermore, confirmation of findings was done through quantile regression analysis. The paper presents several implications as well on the basis of empirical evidence which are of great help for country.

Abstract:

The agriculture field is a fundamental industry which supports the rapid development of the nation’s economy. However, credit constraints faced by farmers have restricted the modernization in the agricultural industry. The agricultural supply chain finance is effective in promoting rural industrial revitalization and agricultural modernization, which is of great significance to the transformation and development of rural economy and agriculture in China. In this paper, the financial coordination model in agricultural supply chain is constructed, and the income distribution model of Shapley value method is introduced. The results showed that the agricultural supply chain finance can significantly improve the income of the participants in the agricultural industrial chain and verify the economic feasibility of agricultural supply chain finance.

Abstract:

Whether green finance can promote agriculture to achieve carbon emission reduction is an important issue in agricultural sustainable development. Based on panel data on 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2020, this paper established a mediation effect framework and employed stepwise regression and bootstrapping to study whether and how green finance can promote carbon emission reduction in China’s agricultural sector. The empirical research results indicate that the development of green finance can significantly reduce China’s agricultural carbon emission intensity. Using instrumental variables for robustness regression tests, the empirical results were also found to be robust. Further research found that green finance can not only directly promote agricultural carbon emission reduction but also indirectly facilitate it by optimizing the agricultural industrial structure and guiding agricultural technological progress. Finally, this article puts forward a number of policy recommendations to actively develop green finance, optimize the structure of the agricultural industry, and promote the progress of agricultural technology with the overarching aim of promoting the sustainable development of China’s agriculture through green finance.

Abstract:

A fourth agricultural revolution, termed agriculture 4.0, is gradually gaining ground around the globe. It encompasses the application of smart technologies such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, the internet of things (IoT), big data, and robotics to improve agriculture and the sustainability of food production. To date, narratives around agriculture 4.0 associated technologies have generally focused on their application in the context of higher-income countries (HICs). In contrast, in this perspective, we critically assess the place of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) in this new technology trajectory, a region that has received less attention with respect to the application of such technologies. We examine the continent’s readiness based on a number of dimensions such as scale, finance, technology leapfrogging, institutions and governance, education and skills. We critically reviewed the challenges, opportunities, and prospects of adopting agriculture 4.0 technologies in SSA, particularly with regards to how smallholder farmers in the region can be involved through a robust strategy. We find that whilst potential exist for agriculture 4.0 adoption in SSA, there are gaps in knowledge, skills, finance, and infrastructure to ensure successful adoption.

Abstract:

Under the deepening of economic globalization and the “dual-carbon”policy, China has paid more attention to the construction of an ecological civilization and has gradually increased its efforts in the green development of agriculture, which has initially gained good development results. However, in agricultural development, in the ecological environment management, still face greater challenges, should use more ways to better achieve the goal of green development of agriculture. For green finance, it belongs to a financial tool and policy instruments, can effectively enhance the efficiency of agricultural production, and play an important role in the control of agricultural carbon emissions. Based on this, this paper briefly discusses the green finance and agricultural carbon emission related content, analyzes the status quo of green finance and agricultural carbon emission, explains the impact of green finance on agricultural carbon emission, and puts forward the relevant policy recommendations of green finance to reduce agricultural carbon emission in the context of dual-carbon, with a view to providing assistance for the realization of the goal of agricultural carbon emission reduction.

Abstract:

PurposeFarmers are the largest group of financially excluded persons in Nigeria, thereby highlighting the supply shortfall in finance to agriculture in Nigeria. Availability of finance would go a long way in improving output and productivity in agriculture, and consequently help in reducing poverty. This study conducts an empirical investigation of the effects of financial inclusion on agricultural productivity in Nigeria.Design/methodology/approachThis study makes use of the Living Standards Measurement Study–Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA). This is a new data set on agricultural households which contains information on agricultural activities and various household activities, including banking, savings and insurance behaviour. Considering the data are such that there are observations for households over three time periods, the study exploits the time series and cross-section dimension of the data by using panel data estimation.FindingsThe empirical results of the study show that financial inclusion, irrespective of how it is measured, has exerted positive and statistically significant effects on agricultural productivity in Nigeria.Originality/valueWhile considerable research has been conducted to examine how finance affects broad macroeconomic aggregates, little is known about the effects of finance at the household and individual level. It is important to explicitly account for financial inclusion when examining the effects of finance on individuals and households. This study improves on existing research and offers new insights into the effects of financial inclusion on the economic activities of agricultural households in Nigeria.

Abstract:

"This is a study for applying Decentralized Finance (DeFi) operations in a real life Agricultural finance application focusing on how assets tokenization in general and crop insurance in particular may take advantage of fundraising, global capital markets, atomic swap operations over blockchain and finally peer-to-peer trading without intermediaries under standardized regulations and revolutionary custodial services. Descriptive statistical data presentations such as graphs and tables are used to do the analysis and evaluate the development of the sector. The paper is exploring the boundaries and the depth of Decentralized Finance while focusing on Asset Tokenization Application that are being deployed mainly in different agri-businesses starting with crop insurance and ending up with tokenizing the products over blockchain. In conclusion, asset tokenization as a representational digital asset for a traditional financial instrument is becoming an increasingly important part of modern finance and “blockchainization” of the real world. This paper addresses how agriculture sector as production sector can use asset tokenization in securing the crops by smart contracts and issuing digital tokens to fundraising for micro-insurance. Also, using blockchain to tokenize the crops for future contracts while in the same time boosting the efficiency of the agribusiness finance, crop insurance, trading in primary and secondary markets as well as exploring new markets without intermediaries, are aspects that are found in the present research."

Abstract:

PurposeThe study aims to analyse the role of finance in the agro-industrialisation nexus in Nigeria using annual data on manufacturing value added, agricultural value added and volume of finance availed to the agricultural sector from 1981 to 2015.Design/methodology/approachTo establish the presence of a long-run relationship, the error correction model and bounds cointegration techniques are employed. Likewise, the model is augmented to test whether the associated relationship between industrial output and agricultural output depends on access to finance by farmers with the inclusion of an interaction term.FindingsSome salient contributions to the literature are as follows: agriculture and finance are strong and positive predictors of industrialisation in the long run; in the short run, past realisations of industrial output and finance have significant asymmetric effects on industrial output; the explanatory power of agriculture decreases with the growth of the financial system; and the long-run results validate the role of finance in the agro-industrialisation nexus.Originality/valueGiven these findings, achieving growth in the agricultural sector that will induce desired industrialisation should be prioritised by the government through agencies such as the central bank, financial intermediaries and other stakeholders with a view to making agricultural financing a major concern for sustainable domestic consumption and industrial growth.

Abstract:

The article analyzes the demand for finance and the supply of financial services. The assessment is that access to finance is a significant difficulty for Bulgarian farmers. Bulgarian farmers value their problems with access to finance at least twice as much as those of average European farmers. The main difficulties experienced by Bulgarian farmers and reflected in the demand for finance are determined by their needs for working capital, modernization of agricultural enterprises, and the purchase of agricultural land. The supply of agricultural loans is growing. The state of lending to the agricultural sector in the period after the country's accession to the European Union in 2007 is studied. In recent years, the supply of credit has increased. The main problems in the credit market are the concentration of the banking sector, the high levels of indebtedness, difficulties related to loan collateral. Lending is closely linked to financial support under CAP schemes. The development of financial support in combination with the improvement of the supply of agricultural finance is an important factor for achieving sustainable financing of agriculture in Bulgaria in the coming years. The need to improve the tools for improving the value chain in agriculture is highlighted.

Abstract:

Developing digital inclusive finance is one of the most effective ways to alleviate financial exclusion in the agriculture sector. For empirical investigation, data from 30 provinces of Rural China is collected from the period 2011 to 2020. The study constructs five dimensions and 22 indicators in total to critically conduct the impact of digital inclusive finance on high-quality agricultural development. The level of agricultural development is measured by entropy weight TOPSIS, and the impact of digital inclusive finance on its high-quality development is empirically tested. The results show that digital inclusive finance has significantly improved the agricultural sector and, particularly, the Eastern region of China has the greatest impact. Three dimensions of digital inclusion finance have regional heterogeneity in terms of impact on agricultural development in Rural China. Data does not show the simple linear relationship between digital inclusion finance and agricultural development quality. The impact of the former on the latter is characterized by the double thresholds. The digital inclusive finance index is the weakest when it is lower than the first threshold that is 4.7704, and the impact of the second threshold that is 5.3186 on high-quality agricultural development is gradually enhanced. After crossing the second threshold, the impact of digital inclusive finance on high-quality agricultural development in Rural China is significantly enhanced. The development of digital inclusive finance should be strengthened in the Central and Western regions to compensate for regional financial imbalances and promote synergy in the high-quality development of agriculture across the country.

Abstract:

The role of Agricultural financing is critical, as are the instruments utilized in agricultural production. The stress relatedto the main structural structure for agricultural-based loans was placed on the roots of understanding the significant importance of agricultural loans to sustain the core roots of agriculture production even after the start of the expected economic growth cycle in India. This paper intends to identify and discusses the scenarios of past and wishes of Indian farm finance area, origins and scale of farm-finance, and reviews the expansion of farming finance. The paper is concentrated on secondary information gathered from various sources and analyzed using descriptive statistical methods (if applicable). Farmers would always in of needing capital for both agricultural needs pertaining to productivity and unproductive use. Farmers need money. Centralized and non-institutional financing sources are the key sources of finance in agriculture. In recent years, the percentage share of agriculture financed backed by non-institutionalized platforms like traditional money lenders fell drastically at a point rate from 90,9% to 20,9%. For scheduled commercial banks with CGR 32.05, the very best lending rate was 32.05, while for co-operatives with CGR short-term loans rock bottom was 13,57%. For long-term loans, for Planned Commercial Banks with CGR 22,74 the typical outstanding debt was 22,74, while for Co-operatives it had been 2.81% CGR rock bottom . The percentile share of agricultural credits slowly increased in time within the agricultural GDP after the 1950s than as a part of GDP as entire until the 1980s. Advice for lenders on the interior formalities of monetary institutions should improve access to institutional loans further. Microfinance and Kisan Credit Cards (KCC) should be adopted and simplified so as to alleviate the suffering of low, poor, and simply linked tribal farmers within the Self Help Group (SHG).

In order to study the impact of inclusive finance on agricultural green development, This paper uses both static panel and dynamic panel (system GMM model) estimation methods to make empirical analysis of the impact of inclusive financial development on agricultural green development. The results both find that there is a significant positive correlation between the level of inclusive financial development, real GDP per capita, the proportion of the added value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery in GDP and agricultural green development. This paper puts forward some countermeasures and suggestions to promote agricultural green development, including vigorously developing inclusive finance, promoting economic growth, promoting the development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, and increasing environmental protection expenditures.

Abstract:

In this period of climate change, green finance is expected to have complex consequences to address economic and environmental risks by improving the profitability of individual activities. There are clearly identifiable areas of green development in agriculture that require such funding. Our research investigates the effectiveness of green finance tools in financing the sustainable development of the pig sector, a key agricultural sub-sector. The results of a Q-methodology study carried out with actors in the product chain showed that green finance is an unknown area for them. They are uncertain and pessimistic about whether and to what extent green finance tools can contribute to the development of the sector, but all share the view that sustainable investment in the sector may require public intervention. The use of economic policy instruments may therefore be necessary to make a sector-specific green finance programme a success.

Abstract:

In countries where agriculture has substantial role in generating domestic product, sustainable agro-finance can seriously increase economic development. It is well known that agriculture is perceived as risky to be financed by commercial banks. Therefore, creating specific agro-credit lines within state development banks is key element in enhancing agricultural activities. These state development banks, operating in close collaboration with the Government have a significant role in accelerating economic welfare of farmers and rural poor. This study tends to emphasize the importance of creating special lending products targeted towards agriculture. The focus will be put on comparison between the first pillar – direct lending to agriculture and second pillar – lending to agriculture through commercial banks showing the better viability of the later.
