Abstract: Lack of credit forces farmers in Rwanda to sell their maize crops, still growing in the field, for very low prices. The warrantage scheme allows farmers to obtain bank loans to meet their cash needs and receive a better price for their crop. A stock of maize in a storage facility acts as collateral.
