Do you need more intensive risk analysis to increase your agro credit portfolio?

Would you like to deepen the knowledge of your loan officers in the field of agriculture?

Even you can contribute the skills of your farm customers?

You can find the right answers to all these questions  in the CLARA tool!

CLARA – Developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and a Cash-flow Linked Agriculture Risk Assessment tool.

CLARA – reduces the time spent on the assessment of agricultural loans and improves the quality of the assessment.

 CLARA is an online application for banks, microfinance institutions, consumer suppliers, traders, wholesalers, processors and other agricultural value chain participants who provide loans to farmers. CLARA simplifies, enhances, and accelerates agricultural credit risk assessment by providing the user with a range of options such as agricultural liquidity forecasting, benchmarking, flexible assumptions, and a set of tools for financial analysis.

 

According to CLARA, it helps you to get the following easily:

Monthly liquidity forecast - is an agronomic-based modeling of farm operations, which collects minimal information from the farmer, the rest of which is obtained from a database of planting plans, equipment productivity and fuel consumption, market prices of products to be used, fruits and livestock. The product of this module is a detailed cash flow statement.

Flexible Assumptions - once a base liquidity forecast for a farm has been established, a CLARA user can change almost every aspect of the forecast and obtain a very accurate cash flow forecast.

Benchmarking - it is now possible to compare farms in a CLARA database.

Analytical tools - the results obtained from all of the above functions can be reflected in tables and graphs that highlight the most important areas that require attention. Data can be saved in Excel.
