No results found.This document is a collection of presentations and discussions that took place in the “Agricultural Value Chain Finance” international seminar organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), RUTA and the Academia de Centroamérica and held in San José, Costa Rica from May 16 to 18, 2006. The concept of “agricultural value chain” covers the full range of activities and participants involved in moving agricultural products from the farmer’s field to the con sumer’s table. Participants in this chain need money to carry out their activities. Although they often turn to traditional financing institutions, rural producers, processors and retailers are receiving increasingly large injections of resources from other entities with which they maintain trade ties. These flows of credit and financing among the various links in the chain comprise what is known as “value chain financing.” The objective of the seminar, organized by the FAO, was to lea rn more about practical experiences with these models and approaches to value chain finance in many countries. -
