We offer need-based agricultural loans of varying terms to clients engaged in the farming of staple as well as cash crops, horticulture, plantations, poultry, animal husbandry, dairy, seeds and warehousing. Facilities may be offered after credit due diligence is done on the farming entity. We also finance the supply of a wide range of agri-input products like seeds, fertilisers, pesticides, micro nutrients and irrigation equipment.
