AGRISEF is intended to provide credit to professional farmers while AJSEF is meant for young people who, at the end of their apprenticeship or unemployed graduates, find it difficult to find a workshop or an activity to start. The results of these two products at the end of 2015 revealed that more than 90% of these credits were intended for women and girls. 615.
