PKSF launched ‘Microfinance for Marginal and Small Farmers Project (MFMSFP)’ in 2005. The success of this project led PKSF to design and introduce a new program named ‘Agriculture Sector Microcredit’ in 2008. And in 2006, PKSF launched the ‘Seasonal Loan Program’ to offer financial services to farmers to help them meet their seasonal need. Later, in 2014, two programs were merged named ‘SUFOLON’. Its unique financial services have created tremendous impetus for investment in different IGAs including crop cultivation and processing, livestock, fisheries, agro-forestry, agro-processing etc.
