As a result of the transformation, Agrobank has made significant milestones; among others \u00a0– revamping processes and procedures for better efficiency, reducing the Non Performing Finance (NPL) to a single digit and developing more innovative products and financing relevant for agriculture community.<\/p>\n
Last year, Agrobank \u00a0recorded remarkable growth of 16.8% with total financing value reaching up to RM8.7 billion for the year 2016. This impressive performance is also one of the best achievements for Agrobank over the years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
