While they provide services to the farmers and fishers they were also supporting
microenterprises, microfinances, cooperatives and rural banks. Helping self- striving business
owners is a great way expanding the opportunities and market. Alongside all of these, LANDBANK
together with different institutions have been joining their forces by giving subsidiaries and
