About the farm

The farm was established in 2008. From 2009 to 2019, the farm practised organic crop farming, growing rye, triticale, oats, and peas. In 2020, the farm transitioned to conventional crop farming, abandoning its organic status and starting to grow wheat, rapeseed, and beans.

In 2021, the farm acquired its first strip seeder and completely ceased plowing with a moldboard plow. Currently, the farmer plans to purchase a direct seeder, which will help reduce expenses, such as fuel consumption, and improve soil quality. The farm declares 257 hectares of arable land, of which 96 hectares are privately owned. The crops grown on the farm include wheat, rapeseed, oats, peas, and beans. Additionally, cover crops are sown, and efforts are made to implement full crop rotation and use biological products. There are no hired workers on the farm; the farmer operates it with the help of family members.

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.

140 hectares of land are included in the Green Loan program. It is estimated that a total of 1562 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 2026. 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 76230 EUR * 12% * 5 years = 45738 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.
