Agri Infra Fund
Post-harvest management infrastructure and
community farming assets are crucial to help
farmers double their income.
With these, farmers will be able to store and
sell at higher prices, reduce wastage, increase
processing and indulge in value addition to their
produce.
To aid the creation of such infrastructure, Agriculture
Infrastructure Fund was launched in August 2020.
It provides debt financing for viable projects through
interest subvention and financial support to
farmers, FPOs and rural entrepreneurs.
Around 3,064 projects of Primary Agricultural Credit
Societies worth a loan amount of Rs 1,565 crore has
been sanctioned.
Projects worth Rs 3,500 crore have already been
structured for financing under the scheme.
