What NIRSAL aims to achieve • Leverage the NIRSAL Risk Sharing Fund to grow bank lending to agriculture within 10 years from 1.4 to 10 percent. Increase lending to the small scale farmers (the "pooled" segment) to 50% of aggregate commercial banks' lending to agribusiness. Expand insurance coverage from 0.5 million to 3.8 million agricultural producers. • Increase lending to 3.8 million farmers by 2026 through pooling mechanism using value chains and cooperatives.
