  • The Subsistence Farmers' Fund - to provide loans to emerging farmers matched with Government grants.
  • The Smallholder Farmers' Fund - to provide loans to emerging farmers matched with Government grants.
  • The Commercial Farmers' Fund - to provide 100% loan finance to commercial farmers.

The maximum loan amount is R2m however this can be extended to R10m under special conditions.
