Rabo Development’s roots and mission

Rabobank was founded in 1898 by farmers who did not have access to

financial services. Today, more than 4 billion people worldwide do not have

access to financial services.

Rabo Development’s mission:

Drawing on Rabobank’s cooperative heritage and banking knowledge in the

Netherlands, Rabo Development aims to increase access to financial

services in developing countries that have substantial potential in the food

and agri sector.

Rabo Development

19

In 1989 Rabo International Advisory Services (RIAS) was established to offer technical

assistance to (rural) banks in developing countries. In 2006 RIAS became part of Rabo

Development, basically with the objective to:

• Contribute to the wellbeing of world citizens by deploying (financial and non-

financial) resources for stimulating rural development around the globe (social

responsibility)

• Give substance to the cooperative legitimacy of Rabobank

• Enter into strategic alliances with (rural) banks in developing countries that are

important exporters of agri commodities. This way Rabobank intends to create a

network of partner banks that can be considered as part of the global Rabobank

network.

Origin of Rabo Development

Rabo Development

20

• The contribution that Rabo Development makes to the development of the partner

bank initially consists of three elements: capital, management services and technical

assistance.

• Rabo Development does not want to take a majority shareholding. It will look for

consensus views with the other main shareholders. Rabo Development finds it

important that the partner bank is locally owned.

• Profit maximization is not the ultimate objective. The highest ambition is to generate

maximum customer value and a sustainable enterprise.

Key elements of Rabo Development’s objectives

Rabo Development

21

• Little or no commercial banks involved in rural banking

• Typically involvement of state dominated banks

• Micro finance institutions lack scale and ability to grow with their customers

• Financial service delivery is fragmented and targeted to specific customer groups

• Traditional lending is mostly based on collateral

Observations in rural banking

Rabo Development

22

• Lack of infrastructure precludes efficient outreach to customers

• Enabling environment is often suspect (collateral value is questionable, land titles are often an issue)

• Lack of scale at farm level

• Agriculture often not seen as a purely economic activity

• Poor supply chain organisation: power remains with the traders

• Banking environment sometimes distorted by donors, government and development banks

• Poor financial literacy

Hurdles to take in rural banking

Rabo Development

23

• Rural banks also need urban presence

• Banks need to serve all client segments with the right mix of products, services, channels and people

• Sufficient scale and market share is vital

• Banks need to focus on both sides of the balance sheet (asset and liability products)

• IT is key in increasing outreach efficiently, using direct channels (ATMs, mobile banking, internet banking, PoS) next to a physical branch network

• Rural banks need specialised knowledge centers on SMEs and agri

• Alignment between all stakeholders is a must

Key lessons learned in rural banking

Rabo Development

24

Partner banks:

Rabo Development aims to develop existing financial institutions into leading, sustainable local retail banks with a rural orientation and client focus. This is accomplished through the provision of technical assistance and management services after taking minority equity interests. The strategic partnership will be mutually beneficial to these financial institutions, the Rabobank Group and their respective clients.

Advisory services:

By providing knowledge on Food and Agri, retail banking and cooperatives, Rabo International Advisory Services (RIAS) aims to:

• Assist partner banks

• Create leads for new partner banks

• Provide services on demand to the Rabobank Group and its clients

The success of mobile banking

Rabo Development

39

• VCF assesses the payment capacity of the farmer by looking at his delivery record rather than his credit record

• Collateral is still important but could be lower if performance record is strong

• VCF especially works in integrated sectors such as sugar, tea, barley, tobacco, dairy, poultry and less in grains

• VCF mainly works for working capital financing (e.g. inputs)

• Tri-partite agreement is basis of VCF structure

• VCF creates a win-win for the farmer, the processor and the bank

Value Chain Financing (VCF)

Rabo Development

40

• Exporting Farmer-based Organisations (FOs) have an advantage compared to locally selling FOs

• The export contracts can be pledged to banks whereby the foreign buyer pays directly in the bank’s account

• In fact, it is also a form of value chain financing

• Social lenders (e.g. Rabobank Rural Fund and Root Capital) are specialised in PXF

• Eligible sectors especially are coffee, cocoa, sesame and tea

• WHR financing needs a solid WHR system

• Farmer Organisations are well positioned to pool the production of farmers

• WHR financing is post-harvest financing (in contrast to VCF)

• The bank can rely to a large extent on the value of the underlying commodity

• The ideal WHR system is integrated in a commodity exchange (mitigating market risk), e.g. SAFEX in South Africa

• NMB Tanzania is financing cashew and coffee PCS successfully linked to the cashew and coffee auction

• Unfortunately the implementation of WHR financing is challenging, especially in Africa
