It was considered after independence of Pakistan that the existing institutional sources of credit i.e. Taccavi and Cooperatives, were insufficiently meeting the credit needs of farmers. Therefore the need for establishment of a third source of agricultural credit was essentially percolated so as to fulfil the credit requirements of farmers not only for Production but even for the development purposes. Consequently, Agricultural Development Finance Corporation was brought into existence in 1952 under a Central Act for the purpose of expanding financial facilities and promoting the development and modernization of agriculture in Pakistan. Subsequently in 1957, Agricultural Bank of Pakistan was established. The Bank advanced both short (for Production) and long term (for Development) loans. Both these institutions were merged together as Agricultural Development Bank of Pakistan in February 18, 1961.
