Since the 2020-21 financial year, the Market Committee has been implementing the 'Agricultural Produce Mortgage Loan Scheme' in collaboration with the Maharashtra State Agricultural Marketing Board. To help farmers secure a fair price for their produce, this scheme provides loans at very low interest rates, as follows:
- 1 to 180 days: 6% interest rate
- 181 to 365 days: 8% interest rate
- Beyond 366 days: 12% interest rate
By availing of this scheme, farmers gain the time needed to wait for better market prices, thereby achieving financial stability. All farmers are eligible to benefit from this scheme.
