In 2017, the Production Development Bank (BDP) established a trust fund to provide credit for micro, small and medium sized producers that process and market their products in the poultry farming, wine growing and producing, sugar cane, organic quinoa, certified seed and grain sectors, as well as in "production infrastructure". The capital may be used to finance investments or operations. The amount of the loan is set according to the borrower's payment capacity and investment plan. Loans are in domestic currency and the interest rate is determined according to the rates established in each trust fund. In addition, the BDP grants loans to approved Intermediary Credit Institutions (ICI), and through its credit window makes available to the sector short, medium and long term resources to finance producers supplying the local market as well as export-oriented producers.
