Green loan

About the farm

The farm was established in Raseiniai district in 2010. It grows wheat, rapeseed and other crops on a declared area of 113.48 ha, but together with his father they work on about 250 ha.

The farm has two tractors, a combine harvester, a trailer, a spreader, a drill, a sprayer and other implements. The farm uses no-till technology.

This is farmer's first project on HeavyFinance platform. The farmer has applied for a Green Loan, which he will use to buy a newer and more powerful combine harvester. The farmer is pledging 2 pieces of land as collateral for the loan.

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.

95 hectares of land are included in the Green Loan program. It is estimated that a total of 1060 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 37500 EUR * 12% * 5 year = 22500 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.
