Finraja Consultancy, India’s leading agri-finance advisory and subsidy consultancy firm, has announced a comprehensive advisory program to help farmers, FPOs, PACS, and agri-entrepreneurs fully leverage the AIF Interest Subsidy under the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF) 2025. This initiative aims to simplify access to affordable credit and promote infrastructure development across India’s agricultural sector.
Driving Growth Through the AIF Interest Subsidy:
The Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF), launched by the Government of India, provides medium to long-term debt financing for the creation of post-harvest and value chain infrastructure. Eligible entities such as farmers, Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS), and agri-entrepreneurs can now access loans at subsidized interest rates of up to 3% per annum, an unprecedented opportunity for agricultural investment.
The AIF Interest Subsidy significantly reduces the cost of borrowing, empowering small and medium agri-ventures to invest in facilities such as cold storages, warehouses, silos, sorting units, and food processing centers. These assets play a crucial role in reducing post-harvest losses, improving supply chain efficiency, and enhancing farmers’ income.
“Our mission is to ensure that every eligible farmer or agri-entrepreneur can access AIF funding with ease,” said a spokesperson from Finraja Consultancy. “Through our expert guidance, clients can unlock the full potential of the AIF Interest Subsidy, minimize risks, and achieve long-term sustainability.”
