International agricultural equipment exposition

At the close of the nineteenth century, that is on the eve of colonial rule in Igboland, Igbo metal industry was flourishing. Production had attained a high level in the range and the quality of output. The output included agricultural equipment, traps and guns as well as title insignia and ornaments, mosdy made of copper and brass. The demand for die smiths' products were widespread and seemingly insatiable. To serve the need of dieir widely dispersed customers and patrons, Igbo smiths from Abiriba, Agulu Amokwe, Agulu Umana, Awka, and Nkwere undertook regular tours of parts of soudi-eastern Nigeria and even beyond – up to die Niger-Benue confluence area; past die Edo country to Ondo Yorubaland; and to the Bamenda district of die Cameroons.

Mortgage Securities

The authors investigated the problems and prospects for the development of mortgage lending in the agricultural sector of Russia. The study found that the level of mortgage and, especially, land-mortgage lending to agribusiness is not high enough. The reasons - agriculture is characterized by a number of specific risks, land plots (as collateral objects) are financially unattractive for banking institutions, which experience increased risks with long-term lending to the agricultural sector of the economy. As a result, the process of mortgage lending to agricultural organizations presents various difficulties for potential borrowers. In order to activate mortgages for agricultural formations, the authors propose that banks expand the practice of issuing such loans on the basis of the simultaneous purchase by agricultural borrowers of part of their shares, as well as issue mortgage securities on the security of financially attractive agricultural assets (unmanned agricultural equipment, pest control bioferms, grain quality measurement devices, digital doubles, drones, etc.).
