Interviews with the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and SAECA

Agriculture is a cornerstone of the Spanish economy, contributing 10% to the GDP and providing a significant number of jobs. To support this vital sector, a financial instrument was established to offer autonomous communities a coordinated management framework with common application conditions. This framework aims to negotiate better terms and cover projects that are viable but considered too high-risk for conventional financial institutions.

In this interview, hear from Isabel Bombal Diaz, Director General of Rural Development, Innovation and AGRI-food, Fisheries and Food, and Pablo Pombo Gonzalez, President Sociedad Anónima Estatal des Caucion Agraria, SAECA about the importance of financial instruments for the agricultural sector in Spain.
