About Us
The Assam AgriFin (“Xamahar”) is a part of the Assam Agribusiness and Rural Transformation Project (APART) supported by the World Bank. It is a Challenge Agriculture Fund – a competitive funding mechanism to support innovative approaches, especially by the private sector, and deliver financial services at scale for farmers in key agriculture value chains in Assam. It is funded by the World Bank and is being implemented by the Assam Rural Infrastructure and Agricultural Services (ARIAS), as the Assam Agribusiness and Rural Transformation Project (APART).
THE XAMAHAR – ASSAM AGRIFIN FUND
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of THE XAMAHAR – ASSAM AGRIFIN FUND is to support testing and/or scaling-up of tested innovations by financial service providers (banks, MFIs, value chain financiers, insurance companies, payments service providers) that increase access to financial services (savings, payments, insurance, and credit) among agriculture value chains in Assam.
The project has competitively selected 8 subprojects to partially cover the cost of developing, testing, and/or scaling up innovations in products or processes that improve access to finance for agriculture value chains in Assam. The subprojects have been implemented or scaled up in the 23 priority districts of APART Xamahar and directly benefit 125,000 producers, including 30% of women beneficiaries, over the fund life.
