The World Bank’s Agricultural Finance Support Facility (AgriFin) in cooperation with Amret, a leading microfinance institution in Cambodia, is inviting senior MFI professionals and bankers from around the world to participate in a study tour to learn about innovative agricultural lending practices in Cambodia.
Approximately 25 participants will have the opportunity to:
- learn about the agricultural lending operations of Amret, the loan products it offers for a wide range of clients, and processes and procedures that enable Amret to manage risk effectively;
- visit Amret’s field offices and get a close look at farm operations managed by Amret’s clients;
- examine how mobile banking enables Amret to increase penetration in rural areas and reach agricultural clients in a more cost-effective way; and
- engage and build professional relationships with a diverse range of international agriculture finance experts.
The program will be held in English and will provide banking and MFI professionals with in-depth technical understanding of Amret’s operations and demonstrate how a financial institution can penetrate a new market in a successful manner. Lessons garnered from this study tour will help participants improve and expand their agriculture finance in their home institutions.
The study tour will begin with a one day workshop where presentations will be given by senior Amret officials to provide an overview of Amret and a detailed description of its products and services. Three days of field visits will be concluded with a wrap-up workshop among the participants to gain an idea of lessons learned, highlights, and an opportunity for reflection.
