Synopsis (short abstract) The Asia Pacific Rural and Agricultural Credit Association–FAO Expert Workshop on Broad-Based Reporting Requirements on Credit to Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries and Aquaculture, was held in Bangkok, Thailand, on 25–26 November 2024. Twenty-four agriculture credit experts from Cambodia, India, the Philippines and Thailand participated in the workshop. The workshop discussed options for harmonizing reporting on credit extended to agriculture, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture. The experts shared information on their data collection and reporting systems on credit. Innovative systems of credit data collection and processing were presented. The agriculture credit experts worked together on the development of Guidelines on broad-based reporting of credit to agriculture, forestry, fishing and related subsectors. The guidelines encourage financial service providers and business partners to incorporate the United Nations International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) of all economic activities in their credit and investment operations and reporting practices.The guidelines will be multipurpose as they: 1) enhance loan portfolio management, 2) improve general reporting on loans to subsectors of the agriculture sector, 3) contribute to environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting, 4) increase data availability for reporting on the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and 5) facilitate harmonization of regional credit reporting approaches.

    In 2013, during the “Asia Pacific Symposium on Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Organic Farming” jointly organized by FAO and IFOAM- Organics international, countries requested technical assistance for the establishment and promotion of Participatory Guarantee Systems (PGS) certification schemes in the region. In response to this request and an increasing demand for organic products from consumers in the region to ensure food safety, an FAO pilot project on “Small-Scale Farmer Inclusion in Organic Agriculture Development through Participatory Guarantee Systems (PGS)” (TCP/RAS/3510) initiated on 01 September 2015 and ended on 31 December 2017. The project’s outcome was “an increased number of farmers produce organic crops and market them in a remunerative way to increased number of consumers through PGS” and was implemented by FAO and the Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) in Cambodia and by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) in Lao PDR, in collaboration with international partners such as IFOAM- Organics international, Earth Net Foundation (ENF) and many other local partners, including the Cambodian Center for Study and Development in Agriculture (CEDAC), the Center for Organic Development, Cambodia (COD), the Natural Agriculture Village Cambodia (NAV), Caritas Cambodia, Groupe de Recherches et d’Echanges Technologiques Lao PDR (GRET) and the Sustainable Agriculture and Environment Development Association Lao PDR (SAEDA
