About the project
The project owner has been engaged in mixed farming since 2007. He is continuously expanding the farming territory and now the farm has 347,82 ha of arable land, two tractors, a combine harvester among other equipment needed for farming.
Part of this land is being used to raise sheep. It is a quite uncommon farming activity in Lithuania, however, an increasing number of farmers start raising domestic sheep due to increasing prices of lamb in international markets. Furthermore, another part of the land is dedicated to ecological farming, therefore the farm receives more money in subsidies because ecological farming is one of the EU-supported priorities.
This year the farm has completely switched to organic farming. However, the farmer is not yet able to sell the newly grown grains as organic and receive several times more income because he has not yet got an organic farm certificate issued by Ekoagros. It will take from 6 to 8 weeks for the certificate to be issued, and during this period time, the farmer will not sell the harvest. For this reason, the farmer seeks funding from the HeavyFinance investor community to cover the harvesting-related costs.
The farm’s financial statements show the difference between 2019 and 2020 income since 2020 income is significantly lower. It happened due to the fact that harvest buyers did not have sufficient funds due to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic to buy the contracted harvest worth 52.150 € in 2020. The farmer received this amount of money only in 2021, so this fact is not reflected in the 2020 financial statements.
This is not the first farmer's project on the HeavyFinance platform - the farmer’s HeavyFinance loan portfolio amounts to 233.200 €. The loan payments are made on time.
Area of declared land: 312,89 hectares.
Annual interest - 14%
