External equity financing in agriculture via profit and loss sharing contracts: a proposed financial innovation

Article Abstract:

An institutional framework is developed to provide farmers with options for debt and equity financing. The financial market structure is characterized by the capital user or farmer entrepreneur, the intermediary or investment institution and the capital provider or investment deposit supplier. The structure approximates a profit and loss sharing equity market that minimizes agricultural financial risk and farm program costs.
