Banks loans to NFA now Agri-Agra Law compliance

(January 07, 2004 - Wednesday, Philippine Daily Inquirer)

LOANS to the National Food Authority (NFA) can be considered as a form of compliance with the Agri-Agra Law, according to a recent circular issued by the Monetary Board.

The Agri-Agra Law requires banks to set aside a quarter of their loanable funds for agriculture and agrarian reform projects.

The NFA borrows at least five billion pesos a year for rice importation, rice procurement, and administrative funding requirements.
