Development of Loan Sales and Debt Collection of Coffee Production Households


To avoid being considered as lending “ debt rollover ” to conceal overdue debts and bad debts, coffee producers must prepare capital to repay the bank about 2-3 days in advance; then, the bank and the coffee producer re-establish the loan application and carry out the lending process as if lending a new loan. In addition to the inconvenience of paperwork, in order to “ pay off old debts to get new loans ”, many coffee producers have to borrow from outside the market, even have to borrow hot loans with high interest rates, to have capital to repay the old loan in time.

The phenomenon of " re-lending new loans right after collecting old loans " leads to the loan turnover and debt collection turnover of Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development almost arising at the same time in the period from February to April, peaking in March every year (Chart 3.4).

In principle, " re-lending a new loan immediately after collecting the old loan " is not against lending regulations, if the customer's production and business plan is effective.

The problem is that the regulations on applying the method of lending each time are not suitable for the capital needs of coffee care, leading to the fact that coffee producers and banks have to redo the lending process from the beginning with full procedures and documents. In essence, it is just a formality, dealing with inspection and examination activities on compliance with lending regulations.


Because of the fact that " new loans are re-lent immediately after collecting old loans ", the results of the summary of outstanding loans for coffee producers at the Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development show that the outstanding loans for coffee producers have a continuous outstanding debt phenomenon (Chart 3.5), similar to the lending diagram according to the credit limit lending method ( see Chart 1.4 ).

Chart 3.5 Development of outstanding loans to coffee producers


From the above issues, it can be seen that the actual application of lending methods for coffee production households at Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development: (1) In terms of procedures : applying the lending method for each time; (2) In terms of outstanding debt management : applying the lending method according to credit limits.

In addition, in almost all lending methods, NHNo & PTNT disburses cash directly to coffee producers. This can easily lead to risks due to misuse of capital. The cause of this problem is that the organization of non-cash payments in our country's economy in general, especially in the agricultural and rural areas of Dak Nong, is not well organized.

In general, the Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development applies lending methods in accordance with lending regulations. However, it is necessary to apply additional lending methods according to credit limits for coffee producers with regular capital needs, in accordance with the characteristics of credit solutions for coffee producers.


3.1.4 Status of implementation of loan access and loan disbursement

3.1.4.1 Loan form

a. Direct lending

Direct lending to coffee producers is the main form of lending at Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development, accounting for 100% of loans. That is, Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development conducts appraisal, disbursement, inspection, supervision, principal collection and interest collection directly to 100% of coffee producers.

Implementing direct lending to each coffee producing household, helping the bank's lending capital reach the hands of coffee producing households. However, along with the application of direct lending to other production and business entities, the application of direct lending in general, and direct lending to coffee producing households in particular, has caused the bank to be overloaded during the peak of the coffee production or harvesting season .

b. Lending through lending groups

During the period 2008 - 2011, Dak Nong Agricultural Bank did not coordinate with authorities at all levels and socio-political organizations to establish loan groups, and did not provide loans to coffee producers through loan groups, including cooperative groups established by farmers themselves or by grassroots socio-political organizations.

In fact, the Dak Nong Farmers' Association and the Dak Nong Women's Union have raised the issue, through the activities of the associations, to coordinate with banks to establish a Loan Group to help members borrow capital from banks, implementing the spirit of the Joint Resolution (1999) and the Inter-sectoral Agreement (2010), but it has not yet been implemented.

c. Lending through businesses

With the regulation on lending through agricultural production enterprises with contracts to coffee production households of Vietnam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development, Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development does not implement the form of lending to coffee production households through enterprises; because in reality, in Dak Nong, there are no coffee production enterprises or cooperatives that meet the conditions as prescribed for lending to implement this form of lending.


Specifically, in Dak Nong, there are no companies or private enterprises operating in the field of coffee production, there are only 3 state-owned enterprises originating from former coffee farms and 1 agricultural cooperative with the following operating status: (1) Duc Lap Coffee Company: Has bad debt with the Dak Nong Bank for over 9 years that has not been resolved; (2) Thuan An Coffee Company: Has bad debt with the Dak Nong Bank for over 9 years that has not been resolved; (3) Dak Nong Coffee Company: operates at a standstill, assets do not meet the conditions for bank loans;

(4) Minh Anh Agricultural Cooperative: Registered coffee brand " Duc Lap -

Dak Nong ” and “ Dak Mil - Dak Nong ”, but currently only exist in name.

In summary, the fact that Dak Nong Bank applies direct lending for 100% of coffee production household loans, without implementing lending through lending groups or enterprises, leads to overloading of credit activities, increasing lending costs and limiting credit expansion.

3.1.4.2 Organization of the bank's transaction network


During the period 2008 - 2011, Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development upgraded 1 Transaction Office to Branch level, established 2 new branches and 2 transaction offices, ensuring that the Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development network expanded to all districts and some inter-commune areas (Table 3.10).

The results show that the coefficient of bank transaction points/district of the Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development in the area is: 1.6 in 2007; increased to 1.9 in 2011. On average, each district and town has nearly 2 bank transaction points.

In the general difficult situation of the economy in the period of 2008 - 2011, the increase in transaction points as above of the Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development of Dak Nong is a remarkable effort. However, in reality, there are still 5 areas belonging to administrative units with large areas and many residents, but there are no bank transaction points: (1) Nghia Tan commune area (Gia Nghia town); (2) Dak Song commune area (Dak Song district); (3) Quang Truc commune (Tuy Duc district); (4) Duc Xuyen commune area (Krong No district); (5) Dak RLa commune area (Dak Min district).

In short, the Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development is very interested in expanding its transaction network. However, in the coming time, it is necessary to continue to establish more bank transaction points in some areas and densely populated areas.

3.1.5 Debt management, loan recovery and risk handling

3.1.5.1 Debt management

a. Customer classification

In fact, customer classification through the scoring and classification process of coffee producers has not been applied at Dak Nong Agricultural and Rural Development Bank. This is a common problem of the entire Agricultural and Rural Development Bank system in Vietnam.

The reason for this phenomenon is that the information technology of the customer transaction system is still in the process of completion, the input data for classification and scoring needs to be supplemented with many indicators in the system, the number of customers who are households and individuals borrowing from banks is very large, leading to the entire system of the Vietnam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development still not being able to implement it, although regulations and a system of indicators have been issued for implementation.

b. Debt monitoring and control

- Check before lending

For coffee producing households borrowing for the first time, credit officers of the Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development conduct relatively strict checks, going directly to each coffee producing household to appraise and compare data between loan applications and reality. However,


However, for coffee producers who borrow many times, credit officers of Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development usually only appraise loans based on paper documents.

- Check while lending

During the disbursement process, Dak Nong Bank strictly checks the disbursement to the right customers, ensuring the validity and legality of paperwork. Some branches and transaction offices arrange accounting departments for disbursement transactions, so the checking during lending is also the responsibility of the accounting department.

- Check after loan

According to information provided by branches and transaction offices on post-lending inspection, the situation of inspection and supervision of coffee production loans of the Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development in the period of 2008 - 2011 is as follows: The number of inspections was 5,199 times compared to 28,231 loans, only reaching 18.4%, not meeting the requirement of 100% post-lending inspection and supervision (Table 3.11). The cause of the above situation is the overload of bank staff in lending activities of the Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development.

In summary, the Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development has not yet classified debts; therefore, it has not created favorable conditions for lending to coffee producers; at the same time, it has not done a good job of checking and supervising the use of loans after lending.


c. Debt classification and provisioning

There are some noteworthy contents in the classification of loans for coffee production households: Overdue loans for coffee production households have increased sharply over the years at an average rate of 241.0% per year, the increase in overdue debts is concentrated in debts requiring attention (group 2) at an average rate of up to 415.3% per year. This shows that the phenomenon of coffee production households extending debts and restructuring debt terms too much, posing potential risks . The reason is due to delays in paying principal and interest.

The overdue debt situation in Table 3.12 also shows that the bad debt ratio increases and decreases unstably: In 2008 and 2010, the bad debt ratio was greater than 3% according to credit quality assessment standards ( Vietnam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development, 2011 ), ( Government, 2011 ); in 2009 and 2011, the bad debt ratio tended to decrease, and credit quality tended to improve.

In general, with large and unusual fluctuations in overdue debt and bad debt, it can be assessed that the credit quality of loans to coffee producers of Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development is only at an average level.

3.1.5.2 Loan recovery

The issue of recovering overdue and bad debts is always of concern to Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development. The organization of loan recovery is considered by Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development as one of the important tasks in its operations.


In fact, the solution to recover overdue and bad debts is applied to bank officers. If credit officers allow overdue and bad debts to arise, during the competition period (month, quarter, year), depending on the level, they will be classified as officers at medium or low levels. Even if there is a large bad debt situation, there is a risk of losing capital, they will be suspended from work and transferred to work as debt collectors and will only receive basic salary.

3.1.5.3 Risk Management

During the period 2008 - 2011, in addition to proactive solutions to recover overdue and bad debts, Dak Nong Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development also initiated legal proceedings against many cases of coffee producers who subjectively caused overdue debts, had the capacity but deliberately avoided and delayed paying bank loans (Table 3.13).
