Agricover Credit IFN opens its first branch in Brasov, thus being present in all regions of the country

Agricover Credit IFN continues its commitment to support the performance and competitiveness of Romanian farmers by developing financing solutions tailored to the specifics of agricultural activities. The team of experts provides prompt response to requests and simple and unbureaucratic access to the money the farmer needs to develop a modern and profitable business in agriculture.

"We are here today with the farmers in the centre of the country in appreciation and recognition of the tremendous work they are doing in this region, which has great growth potential, both in the crop sector, especially potato and organic farming, and in the livestock sector," said Robert Rekkers, Managing Director of Agricover Credit.

The opening of the Brasov branch is part of Agricover Credit IFN's strategy to be as close as possible to farmers and to respond quickly to their requests. In the next period Agricover Credit IFN aims to finance more than 250 farmers in the area with loans worth 100 million Ron. "We want to be more open to the small and medium farmers segment, but we continue to support large farmers as well. In this respect, we have special solutions and programmes in place such as: investments for the purchase of agricultural land, farm expansion and in irrigation systems," said Robert Rekkers, General Manager Agricover Credit.

Agriculture is an important economic component in the region, but to develop a successful agricultural sector requires specialised solutions. "In this region, due to the large crop areas, especially potato cultivation, there is a huge potential for investments in specific equipment and machinery, storage and crop preservation facilities. In addition to agricultural crops, the region is rich in grazing land and is suitable for the development of the livestock sector, especially beef farms", continued Robert Rekkers, Managing Director of Agricover Credit.
