Ensuring a brighter future for Ukraine’s smallholder farmers

October 22, 2025 | World Bank |

 

The World Bank has launched a major initiative to support Ukraine’s smallholder farmers through conflict recovery and climate pressures, centered on the Partial Credit Guarantee Fund (PCGF). The PCGF helps farmers halve collateral requirements and access affordable interest-rate loans, addressing long-standing barriers to credit. With USD 20 million in authorized capital, the fund has already issued over USD 77 million in guarantees, unlocking up to USD 145 million in agricultural lending. Complementary investments target modern storage, resilient seeds, and water infrastructure, alongside expanded digital advisory services. The program aligns with Ukraine’s rural recovery strategy and aims to stabilize food production and farmer livelihoods.
