4. Things to note about farmers’ loans
1.Choose formal channels: Give priority to licensed financial institutions such as banks and credit unions, and be wary of usury and fraud traps.
2.Clarify the purpose of the loan: Some policy loans require that the funds must be used for agricultural production and cannot be used for other purposes.
3.Assess repayment ability: Reasonably plan the repayment time based on the crop growth cycle and sales cycle to avoid overdue payments.
4.Learn about preferential policies: Pay attention to the local government’s interest subsidy policy. Some projects can enjoy 50%-100% interest subsidies.
5.Keep complete credentials: Keep written materials throughout the entire process from application to repayment for subsequent verification.
5. Sharing of successful cases
Zhang, a vegetable farmer in Shouguang, Shandong, obtained 300,000 yuan in funds through a "greenhouse loan" to upgrade greenhouse facilities, which increased his income by 40% that year; Li, a tea farmer in Yunnan, used poverty alleviation micro-credit to develop an organic tea garden and achieved poverty alleviation and prosperity within three years.
Summary: Farmers’ loans need to choose appropriate products based on their actual situation, and at the same time pay attention to credit accumulation. As financial services continue to sink, I believe there will be more policies to benefit farmers to help farmers realize their dreams of getting rich.
