CHALLENGES TO AGRICULTURE FINANCING IN MALI By Kadidia Konare In Mali, like in many Sub-Saharan countries, inadequate access to credit has remained a central concern for farmers and a key constraint to the modernization and diversification of their activities.

The vast majority of these people have little to no access to financial services, limiting their productivity, income, investment and overall quality of life. Inadequate regulatory/legal frameworks, monetary policies, inappropriate agricultural loan evaluations and threats to sound microfinance activities are constraining agricultural financing in Mali.
