Budget Excerpt: Special loan facility for investment in agriculture Madam Speaker, a special investment facility is being established for the agriculture sector. Access to capital for investment in facilities and for working capital, under reasonable terms and conditions, is always of overriding concern to the farmer. To address this need, Government will be placing ten million dollars ($10 million) at the AID Bank for on-lending to farmers. These sums will be used to support farmers generally, and to further support the development of the pork and poultry sector. Loans will be made to farmers at an interest rate of three percent (3%) and they will also benefit from a grace period of six (6) months. The relevant agreement with the AID Bank has been prepared and will be signed immediately upon passage of the budget by Parliament.
