Emagister adds to its catalogue this online course offered by Frankfurt School of Finance & Management.
As you can imagine, agriculture matters for everyone on this planet: it provides affordable and healthy food, jobs and incomes for millions of people; its development is essential for environmental protection, poverty alleviation and in the context of climate change.
Therefore, agriculture finance is a significant part of the finance sector. Farmers and agro-enterprises need loans, insurance, leasing and many other financial services to do well. Financial institutions seek qualified employees who understand the financial needs of farmers and agribusinesses, the dynamics of the agricultural sector and the role of finance in agricultural value chains.
The “Certified Expert in Agricultural Finance” (CEAF) is an on-line course that covers a wide range of agriculture finance topics. Participants will gain a broad perspective on the concept of agricultural finance and acquire the necessary skills to design feasible operations, products and delivery channels. One focus of the course will be on lending to farmers and agribusinesses, in particular how to manage risks and costs along the entire loan cycle.
This course is based on Frankfurt School’s extensive experience in practical project work and theoretical education programs, and it is tailored to the needs of our target audience.

Course programme
The course starts with an overview of the agricultural sector and agricultural finance systems. We will explore why agriculture matters, how different farming systems have evolved, and which farming practices are typical in crop and livestock production. Then, we will investigate the stakeholders in agriculture finance, products and services offered by agriculture finance institutions, specific delivery channels, and different approaches to manage costs and risks.
From here we will dig deeper into the world of agricultural lending: risk management, credit management, marketing and sales.
Finally, you will familiarize yourself with various recent innovations in the field of agricultural finance, spanning from the insurance industry to capital markets.
At the end of the course you have the voluntary choice of up to 4 electives.
The CEAF course will be challenging because you will learn a lot of new things about agriculture finance and apply your knowledge in assignments.
The course will also be fun because we use plenty of animations and pictures, and you will communicate with your peers and tutors on our virtual learning platform.
CEAF is very flexible. It is entirely up to you how and when you work through the course material. Yet, there are two compulsory assignments with fixed deadlines and a final exam.
Altogether, the learning input to do the entire course (without electives) will be approximately 100 hours over a period of 6 months.
The course is divided into 7 compulsory units as well as voluntary electives.
