UNDEVELOPED MID-TERM CREDIT MARKET

Current situation LONG TERM CREDITS
Not exist and
No sign that will be established soon
East Agri - 2005 ANNUAL MEETING, Rome, March 2005
• The lack of investment credit generally in the economy
• The particular risk and low profitability associated with agriculture
• The lack of collateral available (unfinished cadastre)
• Inefficient legal protection
• The relatively small loan size required in the private sector and the associated relatively high fixed cost of establishing and monitoring it
• Lack of expertise in the banking sector for appraising agricultural business plans
• Lack of experience and expertise amongst farmers in developing and presenting business plans
• Farmers do not trust to banks (and opposite) - lack of credit history
The lack of commercial credit for agriculture can be attributed to:
Agriculture credit market in Serbia never existed!
East Agri - 2005 ANNUAL MEETING, Rome, March 2005
