It's risky to work in agriculture. Making money in farming requires a big investment. To sustain the farming process until the harvest is sold on the market, farmers and agricultural entrepreneurs occasionally require credit. Banks offer loans to farmers and people engaged in related industries, such as dairy, poultry, fishing, pig farming, sheep farming, etc., to meet their production needs.
SBI Agri Gold Loan scheme is one of the programs that aid farmers and agricultural entrepreneurs in meeting short-term production loans. The programme offers finance to farmers who are working in agriculture, growing their own or rented property, or involved in crop production. The programme also provides loans to business owners and farmers that require investment finance to buy farm equipment, develop land, irrigate gardens, transport agricultural products, etc.
