AGITF Vision,
Mission and Objectives |
|
The current operating Vision
Inputs are available to farmers at affordable price and acceptable quality
The current operating Mission
Providing loans to inputs suppliers to ensure that input supply gap is
reduced.
Objectives
In reviewing the performance of the AGITF,
the following are found to be the key aims:
 |
Support procurement and distribution of
agricultural inputs through provision of loans to input distributors
|
|
With reference to the AGITF Act No.9 of 1994,
the purpose is to make available loans, on such terms and conditions as
the board may determine finances for the importation and distribution of
agricultural inputs.
|
|
As per "Taarifa
ya
Uendeshaji na
Hatima ya
Mfuko wa
Pembejeo", the purpose is to ensure
that farmers get crop and livestock inputs in sufficient quantities, fair
price and on time through provision of loans.
|
The above mentioned purposes show some
variance regarding to defining the main target
group of the loan facility. The first and second bullets indicate that the
input distributors
and importers are the target group while the last bullet goes beyond
importation and
distribution defining the target groups being the crop and livestock
farmers.
In consideration of the agricultural
strategic reforms and in harmonizing the stated vision,
mission and key aims, the overall objective of
AGITF is to establish a commercial production mindset among the
smallholder farmers in order to produce profitably and
economically so that the farmers become credit worthy under the commercial
lending
systems. Specific objectives include:
|
To operate an effective loan administration and recovery for agriculture and livestock production for
small and medium scales of fanning.
|
|
To provide effective Management of AGITF, and
|
|
To establish necessary conditions for
prudent financial management of SACCOs.
