Synopsis (short abstract) This year, 2024, marks the 60th anniversary of the Cooperative Programme (CP) between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Bank, a collaboration that has been a cornerstone of efforts to eliminate poverty, hunger, and malnutrition. Together, the two organizations direct investment towards projects that not only transform the agriculture sector but also advance FAO's vision of the Four Betters — better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life. Celebrating six decades of partnership highlights the dedication, ingenuity, and talent that have delivered tangible results for people worldwide. It is also an opportunity to leverage this legacy of experience to catalyze even greater public and private investment for a more prosperous, sustainable, and livable planet for all.

    Bulgaria’s entry into the EU in 2007 will have a significant impact on the country’s small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in rural areas and the banking sector servicing them. EU standards and regulations related to specific sectors of industry (particularly food industry) coming in place in the next two years, as well as expected competition from the EU market, will change dramatically the scene in which rural SMEs operate. New investments are needed in order for this transition process to be successful. Commercial banks operating in rural areas have a vital role in realising this goal. This publication is part of report series published under the FAO Investment Centre/European Bank for Reconstruction and Development Cooperation Programme. The series presents sector reviews and studies undertaken in Central and Eastern Europe that cover development issues and innovative areas to increase investment in agriculture in the region. Bulgaria's entry into the European Union in 2007 will have a significant impact on the country's small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in rural areas. EBRD's Financial Institutions team, together with its Agribusiness team, has developed a Facility to mix EU grant and EBRD loans in favour of rural SMEs in EU accession countries. EBRD called upon FAO's expertise to review lending opportunities in Bulgaria's rural sector. This report was prepared to put forward recommendations to EBRD and local financial intermediarie s, on which clients the EU/EBRD Facility should focus and on the types of financial products required to serve these new clients. The analysis can be used by other local or international financial institutions interested in rural credit.
