Seasonal Loans • MSB is actively associated with farmers • The bank is financing the following crops: • Tobacco • Soya beans • Maize seed • Groundnuts • Rice
Way forward • The IPS model builds confidence to the bank and motivates us for up scaling our exposures for industry sustainability. • Adopt “know your supplier” (KYS) • Take pro-active role to collect tobacco from farmers to Auction Floors. • AHL to assist banks to process stop orders upon signing by the farmer. • Register stop order with Registrar where farmer defaulted with another merchant/bank and now uses a different registration number.
Our continued interventions Apart from farmer financing, • The Bank has now a dedicated Agribusiness Division with Relationship Managers. • Our network of branches and service centers brings convenience to our farmers’ business needs i.e. timely banking throughout the country within the area of industry stakeholder operations. • Personalized and customized services to a diverse range of customers. • Competitive rates, terms and conditions.
Concluding remarks • We are spread throughout the country as part of our effort to complement Government’s objective of financial inclusion. MSB as a Government Bank is complementing the government’s program of promoting agriculture for economic prosperity. • We have been funding farmers growing cash crops such as tobacco, seed maize, groundnuts etc for many years but also, alongside tobacco we finance maize and tree planting for food security and reforestation.
