Line 26 ⟶ 27:
The government subsequently created state owned corporations that aimed to consolidate and commercialise food production and hire farmers as wage workers and place experienced farmers in managerial positions. They invested in irrigation, artificial fetilizer and modern farming equipment. Food production stabilised but the country still had challenges distributing and providing adequate food. Furthermore, many state owned companies struggled with debts due to the fact that the government forced them to provide food at low prices. This also caused monocultures and many varieties of foods to go undercultivated.
When the [[Bedonite dynasty]] and the [[Carriers of Mercy]] under Sultan [[Amhoud I]] toppled the [[Packilvanian Communist Party]], one of the key focuses of their first five year plan was to stabilise, privatise, and modernise the agricultural sector. The bank was established in 1987 by the

The bank has been criticised for prioritising large scale farmers due to the fact that it is incentivized to seek the farmers most likely to pay off their debts and to generate the highest returns (interest income from the repayment of loans). As such, smaller farmers have complained that the bank does not provide adequate loans and favourable enough rates to make them competitive. Furthermore, others have criticised the bank for excluding investment by farmers into areas not explicitly involved in farming from their lending scheme.
Others have criticised the [[Council of Ministers of Packilvania|Council of Ministers]] for giving excessive credence to the policy advice of the Bank. This is because the bank again perpetuates the idea that large scale farming is the most economically viable and stable source of food at the expense of smaller farmers. As such, the Minister of
