The NFF discerns that the establishment of the RIC is a significant opportunity to further the agricultural sector through the administration of farm business loans and the delivery of funding for infrastructure projects. To that end, the farming community is largely supportive of the proposed RIC. The concessional loans have the potential to lead farmers through drought preparedness and recovery, to establish innovative farm-based activities and to promote the presence and accession of young farmers in the industry.
