EBRD’s funding will help Agricover to meet the growing financing needs of local farmers and will ensure that a larger number of small and medium-sized farms will gain access to modern technologies and markets.
Agricover is reported to have been associated with the Romanian agricultural sector for more than a decade, offering financial services to more than 4,500 farmers through its two subsidiaries Agricover SRL and Agricover Credit IFN.
The company noted that it will continue to support farmers in animal husbandry and will develop its recent investment in the pork processing business.
Completion of the transaction is subject to statutory approvals and is expected to be closed by the end of this year.
