Our Vision To be the leading provider of world - class agricultural financial services to agriculture and related rural sectors in South Africa
Our Mission: Land Bank is an agricultural development finance institution which supports economic growth in South Africa through the provision of retail, wholesale project and micro-financial services to agriculture and related rural services.
Our approach • Land Bank is the only financial institution devoted entirely to agriculture • We provide a specific set of services and products for emerging farmers • We enjoy a very special relationship with the nation’s farmers: • Championing their progress • Cushioning their setbacks • Celebrating their success
External environment A very difficult year for agriculture • Continued strong rand acted as a brake on agricultural growth, impacting on farmers’ profit margins and risk • Adverse weather impacted on crops and livestock • Unfavourable commodity prices • Increasingly competitive environment in agricultural finance
Review of Operations • Bank’s performance mirrors the difficult state of the agricultural sector • Net loss of R330m, compared to profit of R247m in previous financial year • Impairment losses of R678.4m, resulting in net loss of R330m • Equity and reserves declined from R2.2bn to R2bn However: • Net Interest margin has increased by R25m • R2.1bn growth in loan portfolio
