(adverse selection and moral hazard) • Weak systems for contract enforcement (legally binding contracts) • Lack of legislation and/or regulations suitable to agriculture financial intermediation (e.g. commodity finance supporting instruments)

20. MIS requirements for appropriate Agric-financing • Agricultural produce pricing • Farm gate prices • Wholesale prices • Export / main off taker prices • Quantities and Quality • Price and quantity movements over time • Expected costs involved • Seasonality of crops and regional differences • Storage and processing capacities availability and location • Availability of markets and major market players • Ease of delivery to markets
