M A Goffar, M A Bashar, M. MOSTAFIZUR RAHMAN · 2025 · SAARC Journal of Agriculture

Summary. Agricultural value chain financing (AVCF) mechanisms like contract farming and warehouse receipt systems improve smallholder farmers' access to credit, markets, and stable income across developing nations. The approach increases financial inclusion, rural employment, and productivity. However, policy gaps, weak infrastructure, and limited financial literacy remain barriers. Scaling AVCF through public-private partnerships can accelerate rural development.
