Agricultural loans are available to farmers starting at 7% p.a., with processing fees ranging from 0% to 4% of the loan amount. There are various types of agricultural loans taken by farmers.
Crop loans, also referred to as retail Agri loans, enable a farmer to cover short-term costs associated with the cultivation of crops, upkeep of farm machinery, and other post-farm activities.
