That's another good question.
The program to implement an agricultural financing and insurance system in Haiti began only a few months ago. That was in response to a request from Haiti's department of agriculture, natural resources and rural development. We responded to it together with the Inter-American Institute for Agricultural Cooperation. The Financière agricole du Québec specializes in crop insurance. We try to ensure, in cooperation with government authorities, that there is a national response there to a national food security problem. We are trying to establish a synergy with stakeholders working in the fields of agricultural input supply and methodologies designed to increase productivity, as well as with others who are establishing commercial channels for local products.
We are managing to get the entire financial sector involved in financing the agricultural sector, not just the microfinance institutions or financial cooperatives, but commercial banks as well. We are providing the banks with training for their credit officers in the methods they must use to analyze a loan portfolio so as to minimize risk.
Then a guarantee fund is constituted. This is a loan portfolio guarantee, of up to approximately 30% of 40% in this case, which provides an additional risk incentive. Haiti is exposed to violent hurricanes and major flooding, in particular. Natural disasters occur there almost repeatedly. We must therefore find mechanisms to control the risk.
Then a crop insurance fund for natural disaster cases should be implemented and become permanent. The idea will be to provide farmers with basic crop insurance. Since we are just starting, it is hard for me to talk about the impact. However, I believe this system should have a leverage effect, result in other investors taking part and increase the funding that for the moment is being generated by the Canadian International Development Agency, but is of interest to the World Bank, which will interest the Inter-American Development Bank.
So there is a spillover effect there. We hope to create a lot more synergy in the agricultural sector and a higher degree of professionalization in agricultural financing. We would also like to manage to innovate in the crop insurance field in a high-risk country. Our activities only started four months ago. We are just at the operational planning stage. It's off to a good start and has been well received.
What was the other part of your question?
