The SBI Agri Credit Scheme provides short-term production credit to farmers at 1.25% interest; control benefits, eligibility | Rare Techy

Working in agriculture is dangerous. Making money in farming requires a huge investment. Farmers and agribusinesses sometimes need credit to continue the farming process until the crops are sold in the market. Banks provide loans to farmers and people involved in related industries such as dairy, poultry, fish, pig, sheep, etc., to meet their production needs.

The SBI Agri Smart Loan Scheme is one such program that helps farmers and agribusinesses in raising short-term production loans. The program provides financing to farmers who work in agriculture, grow their own property or rent, or participate in agricultural production. The program also provides loans to business owners and farmers who need investment financing to purchase agricultural equipment, develop land, irrigate gardens, transport agricultural products, etc.
