2.1 Descrição curta da abordagem

The loan guarantee allows producers to better manage their production costs when they first begin operating a scheme.

2.2 Descrição detalhada da abordagem

Descrição detalhada da abordagem:

Guaranteeing loans enables producers to access credit. In this practice, IICEM acts as a facilitator, supporting the process through activities ranging from monitoring loan repayment to forwarding applications to banks following validation. Cooperatives and agribusinesses are developed and their activities are monitored by IICEM and its NGO partners in order to re-engage with the banks and repay awarded loans. Subsequently, supply chains are set up on the back of training delivered by marketing specialists and business development agents, which helps connect up the key players (processing companies, merchants, cooperatives, suppliers, credit services). IICEM remains responsible for maintaining this relationship by providing advice on processing (quality), trade (cost calculation) and supply (quality).
The loan guarantee allows producers to better manage their production costs when they first begin operating a scheme. The project acts as guarantor to the bank for the sum of the loan requested by producers.
The producers register their need for a loan to safeguard their crops, detailing the parameters to take into account. The loan application is then forwarded to IICEM and its NGO partners. IICEM analyses the loan application in terms of the irrigated area and the yields involved to ascertain the producer’s capacity to repay the loan and to determine whether the producer can meet the farming costs required to see through the growing season. After analysing the loan application, IICEM writes a letter of recommendation that the producers attach to their application for sending to the bank. The project acts as guarantor to the bank for an equivalent amount that it always keeps available. The bank will not access these funds without prior authorisation. Neither, however, is it obliged to award loans to producers holding a letter of recommendation from the project. Once the loan is granted, the project supervises producers to ensure loan repayments to the bank
are well managed. When loans are not repaid in full, the project provides a detailed report on the crop yield for the season in question to enable producers to take out further loans to compensate for the poor yields of that season. If the bank declines a loan extension (in the case of a default), the project then fulfils its role as guarantor, repaying any shortfall.
Producers declare their loan requirements to safeguard their crops. NGO partners act as intermediaries relaying requests, provide training and carry out monitoring. IICEM analyses loan requests and then draws up a guarantee certificate for the bank’s consideration. The bank assesses the farming organisation’s loan request.

2.6 Datas de início e término da abordagem

2.7 Tipo de abordagem

• Baseado em projeto/programa

2.8 Principais metas/objetivos da abordagem

The loan guarantee allows producers to better manage their production costs when they first begin operating a scheme.
This practice enables farming organisations to improve on how they repay their loans and, thereby, increase their creditworthiness with the banks. Besides the IICEM guarantee, projected levels of production serve as an additional guarantee for the bank.
The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: lacking access to credit

When loans are not repaid in full, the project provides a detailed report on the crop yield for the season in question to enable producers to take out further loans to compensate for the poor yields of that season.
This practice enables farming organisations to improve on how they repay their loans and, thereby, increase their creditworthiness with the banks. Besides the IICEM guarantee, projected levels of production serve as an additional guarantee for the bank (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: To secure a high level of loan repayment, it is necessary to closely monitor the producers benefiting from loan guarantees)
Cooperatives and agribusinesses are developed and their activities are monitored by IICEM and its NGO partners in order to re-engage with the banks and repay awarded loans. Subsequently, supply chains are set up on the back of training delivered by marketing specialists and business development agents, which helps connect up the key players (processing companies, merchants, cooperatives, suppliers, credit services).
