It means Bangladeshi farmers may soon get the opportunity to save for their future through AgroBanking, a media release said on Tuesday. The project aims at financial inclusion of farmers with excess produce. Now, thanks to the project, farmers will get the opportunity to sell their produce to logistics and retail partner Shwapno at fair prices, according to the release. Facilitator and financial partner UCB can deposit farmers’ incomes directly into UCash accounts, the release said. Once non-commercial farmers start formally saving, they will be able to grow economically and officially start contributing to the national economy and usher Bangladesh towards new avenues of growth in terms inequality reduction and greater financial inclusion, all through excess agro goods.
