The farm plans to sell vegetables directly to markets to get a higher margin. In order to cooperate with the markets, it is necessary to pack vegetables in individual packages instead of bulk, i.e. in bulk. In order to do so, it is necessary to invest in machinery on the farm. It is also in the process of applying for cooperation with Dino store chains. One of the next conditions for cooperation is to have the necessary infrastructure to guarantee delivery of the products offered. Hence the need for investment. The increase in projected revenues after the investment is more than 2.3 million euros, and the profit is about 180 thousand euros per year. The loan funds will help the farm to purchase 3 machines: 1) Automatic palletizer, WiBo8 2024 2) Optical sorter, R270 M 2024 3) Line for preparing vegetables for sale to markets LP05899/11/23 2023

Main Terms

The principal will be repaid by the farmer in regular instalments over the span of 3 years in accordance with the repayment schedule.

221 hectares of land are included in the Green Loan program. It is estimated that a total of 1788 carbon certificates will be generated in 4 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;

(1) 60% of income received during the loan period;

(2) 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 116660 EUR * 9,5% * 4 year = 44330,8 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.
