Rabobank in business

Rabo Sustainable Agriculture Guarantee Fund aims to enhance access of agricultural cooperatives (or companies buying from small producers) to local financial services. This to enable them to purchase, process and trade agricultural commodities in the international market on commercial and sustainable terms.

Additionaly, Rabo Sustainable Agriculture Guarantee Fund is committed to contributing towards achieving sustainable changes in the approach of local banks in emerging economies towards such cooperatives or companies. This through offering the local banks adequate financial instruments.

In executing this mission, the Fund will issue (partial) credit guarantees and provide other financial products as a risk mitigating instrument in favour of financial intermediaries, allowing them to offer commercial finance for the production and export of agricultural produce at better pricing and conditions than would be possible without the risk mitigating instruments of the Rabo Sustainable Agriculture Guarantee Fund.
