Green loan

Green Loan is a type of financing that enables farmers to use the proceeds for projects contributing to the environment. For investors, Green Loans give an opportunity to indirectly contribute to the generation of high-quality soil carbon credits, which are later sold on the Voluntary Carbon Market and receive part of the proceeds from their sale.

About the farm 

We invite you to invest in a green loan supporting a well-established and efficiently managed grain farm located in the Kaišiadorys district. The farm has been successfully operating since 2011 and currently manages 220.56 hectares of agricultural land, including 93.12 hectares under ownership. The farmer cultivates wheat, barley, and rapeseed, focusing on sustainable and high-demand crops.

The farm is equipped with essential agricultural machinery, including a tractor, sowing machine, and various tillage implements, and applies modern no-till technology that promotes soil health and environmental sustainability.

The loan proceeds will strengthen the farm’s working capital and support its ongoing sustainable growth. The loan is secured by six land plots, offering additional security for investors. This is an opportunity to contribute to a forward-looking agricultural business with a proven track record.


Main Terms

The principal will be repaid by the farmer in regular instalments over the span of 5 years in accordance with the repayment schedule. 280 hectares of land are included in the Green Loan program. It is estimated that a total of 3399 carbon certificates will be generated in 6 years (based on a conservative estimation). Consequently, investors will receive below indicated portion of sales proceeds from every carbon certificate generated from the land of the project owner involved in the program;

(1) 60% of income received during the loan period;

(2) 40% of income received for the following year after the loan period.

It is expected that the first carbon certificates will be generated and sold in the second quarter of 2026. The exact return will depend on the amount of sequestered CO2 levels and the sale price of the carbon certificates.

If the project owner (farmer) withdraws from the Carbon Credits Agreement and does not intend to follow the agreement on the carbon revenue split with investors, the project owner will be obliged to repay the entire loan as well as pay the penalty, calculated by multiplying the interest rate by the entire loan amount and period equal to the duration of the loan agreement plus 12 (twelve) months. Investors of this loan would receive a penalty of 100000 EUR * 10% * 6 year = 60000 EUR. This penalty can be reduced by the return earned by investors from the carbon credits generated If the project fails to be delivered successfully through no fault of the farmer, the farmer commits to paying investors a minimum interest rate of EURIBOR 6M + 1.5%.

This commitment applies in situations such as the lack of market demand for selling carbon credits, among others.


Annualized return forecast

  • Conservative scenario (€20 per carbon certificate): 13,48% IRR*
  • Today's scenario (€35 per carbon certificate): 21,42% IRR*
  • Optimistic scenario (€100 per carbon certificate): 47,92% IRR*

Keep in mind that the return forecast is an estimation and does not guarantee you the returns mentioned above.
