This document discusses the importance of credit and marketing in rural development. It defines rural development as helping rural people set priorities through democratic bodies by providing local capacity, basic infrastructure, social services, justice, equity, and security. It notes that the growth of the rural economy depends on regular infusions of capital for agriculture and non-agriculture. Farmers often take loans to fund initial investments in seeds, fertilizers, and implements as well as family expenses since the time between crop sowing and income realization is long. The rural banking system and self-help groups play an important role in rural development by providing credit, while obstacles like lack of infrastructure and market access hinder agricultural marketing.

4 managing risks in agriculture finance by mr. almario
Agricultural finance faces many risks due to production risks from natural calamities and pests, market risks from lack of infrastructure and information, and political risks from subsidies and international agreements. Common interventions through subsidies and credit guarantees may not be effective. Better solutions include increasing household income through contractual agreements, micro-insurance products, movable collateral registries, and credit information systems to help overcome reluctance in lending to small farmers due to perceived high risks.
Achieving zero hunger
This document estimates the investments needed to achieve zero hunger by 2030. It finds that an average annual investment of $267 billion is required, with $181 billion going to rural areas. This includes $116 billion for social protection programs to immediately assist extremely poor people, and $151 billion for pro-poor investments in agriculture and rural development to stimulate long-term income growth for the poor. Social protection would initially help the poor meet basic food needs, while targeted investments would accelerate rural economic growth and employment to gradually reduce poverty and hunger over time as poor people's incomes rise. A combination of social protection and pro-poor investments is needed to both immediately help the extreme poor while also fostering sustainable escapes from poverty.

The nature of laws that govern the financial sector, as well as the quality of the institutions that enforce those laws, will largely determine the shape, size and depth of the financial sector. Of particular importance are the laws and institutions that facilitate/ promote or discourage/inhibit secured lending by influencing the ease with which agricultural and other rural assets can be used as collateral. These laws need to be reviewed and amended from time to time and financial/legal literacy and credit counseling in rural areas need to be continuously provided to users in order to ensure orderly growth of rural financial markets, since these are two issues of particular concern for the development of Rural Financial Markets(RFMs) in most developing countries. The experiences also confirm that mere establishment of an appropriate enabling environment does not guarantee that people will use their assets as collateral or use them prudentially. In rural areas, peoples’ understanding of their rights to own property and utility value of property owned is not adequate for them to seize available opportunities for their socio-economic development that their ownership makes possible. Efforts are, therefore, necessary to make them fully aware/educate potential borrowers as to the rights and responsibilities associated with property ownership, which can help them leverage their assets while understanding the risks in doing so.
