Agriculture

Dynamic rural areas and quality agricultural products

Global food production must double between now and 2050 to take into account population growth and changes in eating habits. Copes with the effects of climate change on biodiversity, soil and water quality, and the demands of the global market.

The BCA's agricultural policy will evolve considerably in the coming decades to help farmers meet these challenges and respond to changing people's attitudes and expectations. The BCA's agricultural policy covers a wide range of areas, including food quality, traceability, trade and the promotion of agricultural products. The BCA financially supports its farmers and promotes sustainable and environmentally friendly practices, while investing in the development of rural areas.

Auricoin Banks around the world collaborate in the elaboration, application, supervision and evaluation of agricultural and food policies. Through the Auricoin Banks, the Farmers have access to the funds available in accordance with the established norms. The BCA also oversees the way in which efficiency is applied, and coordinates the changes that are introduced in the credit policy of the Auricoin banks in each country.

Industry and services related to agriculture and food represent a large number of jobs in the world and only the agricultural sector provides regular work for 50% of people. The whole world will be integrated into production depending on the climate, its soils, and technical capacities and will produce good quality products; it is one of the main objectives of the BCA.

Business and industry

Support the future of the world's businesses and industry

The BCA's policy is to help industry and businesses become more competitive and promote job creation and economic growth by creating an environment conducive to business activity.

With globalization and strong competition from emerging economies, the world's long-term economic prosperity will depend on the strength of its industrial base, and not just the banking and services sectors. Research and innovation play a key role in the development of technologies and approaches to secure the future of the world's production.
