The document proposes two associative systems, specifically:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The smallholding economy understood as an economic, social and territorial system that is environmentally sustainable; one that is managed and operated by smallholders using their family, community and organizational hubs whose principal source of income is agriculture, forestry, small-scale fishing, aquaculture, pastoral activity, livestock, silviculture and handcrafts to at least 75%.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This system\u2019s aims include self-sufficiency, the formation of associative and cooperative production and trading methods, transforming and adding value to their products, generating surpluses that can be marketed locally, regionally, nationally and abroad; protecting ecosystems, as well as the recognition, affirmation and boosting of smallholders\u2019 cultural identity and connections to their land.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Family-run farming as a socioeconomic and cultural system used by agrarian communities, whether these are smallholders, colonies, indigenous people, or of other kinds, in their respective territories, occupied in farming, livestock breeding, silviculture, aquaculture or fishing. They are run and manned predominantly by family labor or by a community of rural families, some of whom own the land, while others do not, while some have larger plots than others. \u00a0The heterogeneous nature of this relationship with the land and their production system allows them to be partially self-sufficient, while generating income by trading on local, national and international markets, whether sporadically or continuously, in search of a stable lifestyle to give them food security both for themselves and for society. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These systems allow production and trading arrangements to be set up that are based on association and solidarity, protecting ecosystems and affirming cultural identity, among other aims.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other matters covered in the Bill:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FINAGRO\u2019s role of financing of eco-farming production reconversion processes. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Measures to strengthen the smallholding economy and family-run farming\u2019s productive capacities, in areas including:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Diversification of production units.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Food quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Soil suitability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Forward planning of land use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Application and use of technology and resources appropriate to the type of production.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Transitioning to agro-ecological systems, with the support of specialized experts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Ways and means of accessing loans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Provision of production infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Marketing that is appropriate for the goods being produced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Mechanisms for business training.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating the Smallholders\u2019 Economy &amp; Family Farming Information System, into which the territorial institutions provide feedback. The system seeks to identify the smallholding population that is active in this economy and in family farming in order to target the policy instruments cited above appropriately.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incentives for people registered in the Smallholders\u2019 Economy and Family Farming Information System who will receive, at least, incentives such as the creation of a special line of credit through FINAGRO at a preferential lower rate of interest than the lowest market rate to finance their projects, procure technology and equipment for the purposes of the Smallholders\u2019 Economy &amp; Family Farming. These loans will enjoy a grace period to be regulated by the Government so that the installment payments can be scheduled for when resources are available from the harvest.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bill also states that the Ministry of Agriculture will have to present research on barriers to accessing credit suffered by those affected by the law, and will set up, in conjunction with the Colombian Financial Authority, the SFC the regulations needed to overcome the obstacles that have been found.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Advantageous conditions for small agricultural and livestock producers<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first debate of the bill to provide advantageous lending conditions for small agricultural and livestock producers, set interest rates and create a loan guarantee system, has been tabled in the House of Representatives of the Republic of Colombia\u2019s Congress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the first draft, the scope of these conditions has been restricted to exclude medium-sized producers and will only benefit small producers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it retains the earlier clauses relating to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conditions over the debt portfolio purchase that the national government would carry out with the entire financial system, which is still up to 50%, and a grace period for the balance of 1 year and an interest rate of DTF [Colombia\u2019s rate for 3-month fixed rate deposits]<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Credit facilities for small agricultural and livestock sector producers:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To keep production schemes going: term of up to 3 years, 1-year grace period and DTF interest rate<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To set up production schemes: term of up to 10 years, depending on cash flow, 3 years\u2019 grace period and DTF interest rate<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surety from the Agricultural and Livestock Guarantee Fund on these loans<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Authorization for the SFC to define the mechanism for eliminating these non-paying debtors from the data bases<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Rural women<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Colombian Government has put out for public consultation a draft decree that would enable the adoption of the Review, Assessment &amp; Monitoring Plan for programs and legislation supporting rural women. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To ensure correct compliance with this Plan, the government intends to create an Inter-Institutional Tracking Committee to coordinate the different sectors involved. Several ministers and representatives from indigenous groups, such as the Raizal and Palenquero communities, Afro-Colombian women, subsistence farmers and LGBTI will make up this committee. Their functions, among others, will be: i) to amend or make adjustments to the Plan, ii) publicize and monitor public policies to help rural women, and iii) recommend strategies for rural women, as established by international bodies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This Inter-Institutional committee will be supported by an Operations Committee and a Technical Secretariat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Final beneficiaries of agricultural and livestock loans<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, we should refer to resolutions 7 and 8 published by the National Agricultural Credit Committee (CNCA in the Spanish), which make changes to the regulations on the use of farming and rural loans, that particularly affect the current conditions of associations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In those resolutions, the requirement for eligibility of having been signed up to or linked for two years with a cooperative or association has been eliminated, in the case of individuals wishing to access the interest rates offered under these schemes. In compliance with resolution 7 cited above, the agricultural and livestock sector financing fund, FINAGRO, has made changes to its Service Manual outlined in its Regulation Circular P-18\/2017 affecting loan eligibility requirements for associations, eliminating the obligation to have been signed up or linked for two years with a cooperative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, there is a rediscounting facility to purchase new machinery to modernize the agricultural sector with the latest technologies, to replace the obsolete machinery still used in farming. The interest rate on this rediscounting facility can be subsidized for beneficiaries over terms of up to 8 years with one year\u2019s grace period, on portfolio balances up to COP100 million, and is covered by the Agricultural and Livestock Guarantee Fund.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the last quarter of the year, the Colombian government published the Bills that we discuss below, with the main objective of promoting and strengthening the country&#8217;s agricultural and livestock sector.
