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.

Crops grown:

Production processes rely on no-till technology, which reduces fuel consumption, preserves soil structure, and supports sustainable yield development. The farm operates with structured crop cycles and modern agricultural practices accumulated over more than 20 years.
Machinery Base
The farm owns all essential machinery for independent production:
• a modern combine harvester
• 3 tractors
• no-till cultivation implements
• seeding, soil preparation, fertilising equipment, etc.
This ensures efficient field management and reduces dependency on outsourced services.

The financing is intended to support working capital needs.
Funds will be used for:
• fuel purchases
• machinery maintenance and repairs
• payments to suppliers
• labour costs
• seasonal agricultural expenses
Working capital financing enables stable operations despite the seasonality of agricultural income and long production cycles.

Conclusion

Working capital financing will support efficient seasonal operations, timely supplier payments, and uninterrupted production until harvest realisation.
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.
305 hectares of land are included in the Green Loan program. It is estimated that a total of 2332 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 87300 EUR * 9,5% * 6 year = 49761 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): 7,36% IRR*
Today's scenario (€35 per carbon certificate): 12,05% IRR*
Optimistic scenario (€100 per carbon certificate): 28,38% IRR*
