Agro-Industry Modernization & Credit Financing Program
Created in 1997 by virtue of Republic Act 8435 or the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act, the AMCFP is the government’s umbrella financial system for agriculture and fisheries. It caters to small farmers, fisherfolk, those engaged in food and non-food production, processing and trading, cooperatives, farmers’ and fisherfolk’s organizations and small and medium enterprises or SMEs engaged in agriculture and fisheries.
How The Program Works
Implementation of the AMCFP is overseen by the ACPC. Under its framework, government financial institutions, provide wholesale loans for agriculture and fisheries projects to private rural financial institutions, which, in turn lend directly to individual farmers and fisherfolk.
