Subsidized loans for university graduates with agribusiness projects
Do you have a business project in agribusiness and you don't know how to finance it?
University graduates have been provided with an opportunity of securing a subsidized loan to invest in agro-based businesses. The National Employment Program through BDF implements the agribusiness investment facility targeting University graduates
The scheme supports University graduates with new start-up projects and existing ones with less than three years in operations
The package provided to viable agribusiness projects is made up of the contribution of 10% of the amount requested from BDF, a grant of 30% and BDF convertible shares of 60%. The ceiling of the loan amount under this scheme is 10,000,000RWF given at an interest of 12%.
Projects that can be financed through this product should fall in the following categories of agribusiness:
- Aquaculture projects
- Modernized livestock and agriculture farming
- Horticulture
- Agro processing projects
If you are interested and eligible, please contact BDF https://www.bdf.rw or your nearest Employment Service Center for more information.
