Agriculture finance is a national priority to achieve transformation of the agriculture sector and greater financial inclusion. Prioritizing agriculture finance has yielded substantial achievements, but farmers’ use of formal financial services remains suboptimal. Demand-side data on the use of financial services by agri-enterprises are not available. The limited depth of the agricultural credit market is also reflected at the macro level.
