In this video Richard L. Meyer, Professor Emeritus at the Ohio State University talks about Bank for Agriculture and Agriculture Cooperatives (BAAC) Thailand, which is a specialised agriculture lending financial institution within the microfinance sector. Elaborating on BAAC, Richard says that the bank serves both large and small farmers through individual lending and group lending. He also adds that it is very much a specialised bank as the regulations prevent it from lending other than agriculture. Correspondingly, Richard discusses some other microfinance institutions which deliver agriculture lending products.
