MICROFINANCE FOR AGRICULTURE & RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Agriculture is about growing money, and any money invested in the soil brings you huge returns on investments this happens in a period of about 60 to 100 days. You can choose to do short term investments, investing in crops like cabbages, tomatoes, potatoes and get your big dividends after every 100 days of harvest, or choose long term investments that go for 24 months and get quarterly 5 to 10% interest to your loan.

Agriculture is labour intensive but gives you a high return on investments.

For Botswana, like in any country across the world, agriculture plays an important role in economic development with more than 80% of the rural population dependent on agriculture, economically it accounts for about 3% of Botswana's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) this has made the government consider farming as a key area for employment and income generation for the majority of rural dwellers. Across the world, nearly two-thirds of the people rely on agriculture for their incomes, making the sector key to economic development.

The current levels of investment in Botswana's agricultural value chain are insufficient to achieve key development goals including ending poverty and hunger and boosting shared prosperity through more and better jobs. Ark Microfinance services believe that partnering with you on its microfinance credit scheme for the agriculture value chain will go a long way in multiplying your investments and will help people in urban and rural farming areas make use of their land to make money, create jobs and support the sustainable food systems development for Botswana.
