Value Proposition
Greek banks won't lend to farms at reasonable rates (8–12% typical); equipment is capital-intensive. This fund offers 5% loans + free agronomist support, so a farmer investing €50k in drip + sensors sees ROI in 3–4 years (30% yield lift, 20% water savings). Beats bank loans by bundling financing with expertise and outcome tracking.
