Can I apply if my business already has loans or leasing agreements with another bank?
Yes. Existing loans or leasing commitments do not prevent you from obtaining financing from AgroCredit.

What is seasonal financing?
Seasonal financing is designed primarily for grain producers to finance working capital, including seeds, fertilisers, crop protection products, fuel, and other agricultural inputs.
Unlike a standard loan, seasonal financing can be secured by a crop purchase agreement with your grain buyer.
Repayment is designed to match your business cycle, with the principal and interest typically repaid after the harvest has been sold.

What happens if adverse weather delays harvesting or forestry operations?
Agriculture and forestry depend on weather conditions that cannot always be predicted.
If prolonged rain, mild winters, or other circumstances delay harvesting, logging, or sales, we encourage you to contact your relationship manager as soon as possible.
We work closely with our clients to find practical solutions, including extending repayment periods or adjusting payment schedules where appropriate.
