The scheme offers a flexible repayment period of up to five years, with schedules that can be tailored to your harvesting and income cycles.
There is no down payment for the overdraft option. For term loans, a down payment of 10% to 25% is required, depending on the nature of your investment.

Loan amounts are assessed based on your farming income, repaying capacity, and the scale of your agricultural operations.
