About the farm

We invite you to invest in a successful crop farm in Vilkaviskis district. The owner of the project, who has many years of experience in agriculture, has expanded his farm over the years to 169.51 ha of land, of which 70 ha are owned by the farmer. The farm produces winter wheat, winter rape, spring wheat and oats.

The farming is supported by family members and an additional helper at harvest time to allow efficient transport of the grain.

The farm uses modern machinery to ensure high quality and efficiency. The fleet consists of a John Deere 9640 WTS combine harvester, a Valtra tractor, two John Deere tractors and other necessary equipment for efficient field management and high quality harvesting. The farmer works the land using no-till farming technology.

The Green Loan investment will be used to refinance existing loans on the HeavyFinance platform and to purchase a tractor.

Main Terms

The principal will be repaid by the farmer in regular instalments over the span of 4 years in accordance with the repayment schedule.

120 hectares of land are included in the Green Loan program. It is estimated that a total of 1339 carbon certificates will be generated in 5 years (based on a conservative estimation). Consequently, investors will receive below indicated portion of sales proceeds from every carbon certificate generated from the land of the project owner involved in the program;
60% of income received during the loan period;
40% of income received for the following year after the loan period.

It is expected that the first carbon certificates will be generated and sold in the second quarter of 2025. The exact return will depend on the amount of sequestered CO2 levels and the sale price of the carbon certificates.

If the project owner (farmer) withdraws from the Carbon Credits Agreement and does not intend to follow the agreement on the carbon revenue split with investors, the project owner will be obliged to repay the entire loan as well as pay the penalty, calculated by multiplying the interest rate by the entire loan amount and period equal to the duration of the loan agreement plus 12 (twelve) months.
Investors of this loan would receive a penalty of 57700 EUR * 12% * 5 year = 34620 EUR. This penalty can be reduced by the return earned by investors from the carbon credits generated

If the project fails to be delivered successfully through no fault of the farmer, the farmer commits to paying investors a minimum interest rate of EURIBOR 6M + 1.5%. This commitment applies in situations such as the lack of market demand for selling carbon credits, among others.
