Welcome to the information portal of the Agricultural Credit Policy Council (ACPC)!

As the government’s primary institution in rural finance policy and programs, the ACPC, through this website, marks its space in the global information highway to reach out to our stakeholders and make known our humble contributions in national development.

Born part of the sweeping economic reforms brought about by the return of democracy in 1986, the ACPC is a pioneering reformist mandated to pursue innovations in rural and agricultural finance. To address the need for access to sustainable credit of its small farmer and fisherfolk stakeholders, the ACPC has fostered a robust market orientation and holistic approach to the rural credit system. This enabled ACPC to develop and implement policies and innovative financing programs, including the umbrella credit program for the agriculture sector, the Agro-industry Modernization Credit and Financing Program (AMCFP).

Moreover, ACPC pursues capacity building of farmers and fisherfolk organizations, the collection of payments for past credit programs to add up to the available credit funds, policy research, monitoring of government agri-credit programs and bank lending to the sector, and advocacy.

A depth of knowledge awaits you which we hope you will find useful. Happy surfing!
