Council on Smallholder Agricultural Finance

The Council on Smallholder Agricultural Finance (CSAF) is an alliance of social lending institutions focused on creating a thriving, sustainable and transparent financial market to serve the financing needs of small and growing agricultural business in low- and middle- income countries worldwide. Together, CSAF members identify best practices and develop industry standards across three areas: market growth for agricultural businesses in the “missing middle,” responsible lending principles, and social and environmental impact for rural households, communities and ecosystems.
