Abstract: Urban and rural areas differ in many aspects. One of them is the relevance of agricultural in rural areas. Agricultural is distinct from other sectors because of the seasonality, geographic limitations, price volatility and dependence on natural conditions. Moreover, the rural populations are often poor and have great difficulties in managing risk, coping with shocks and accessing consistent cash-flows. These differences may affect the characteristics necessary for the success of the financial institutions operating on rural markets. This paper outlines the various risks of rural finance, discusses the cost involved in agricultural lending and presents techniques for risk and cost reduction
