This Study is designed to assist APEC member economies in implementing international standards in agricultural finance, including access to credit, inputs, and equipment. Several international instruments enhance agricultural finance and food security, including the United National Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on Secured Transactions,  the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT) Model Law on Leasing,   the UNIDROIT Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment (Cape Town Convention)  and the Protocol to the Cape Town Convention on Matters Specific to Mining, Agricultural and Construction Equipment (the “MAC Protocol”),  and the UNCITRAL-UNIDROIT Model Law on Warehouse Receipts.  These instruments permit flexibility in adapting them to the specific needs of APEC member economies.
