I accommodate the substantial affirmation of EIB in acceptance of the EU farming community, particularly for young farmers and women farmers. Facilitating the financing hole in the area is important, and with the EIB Group’s backing, we are offering agriculture the mechanisms to succeed and thrive. We will jointly operate with the EIB to make certain that this package opportunity is taken up on the ground and delivers results. Together, we’re guaranteeing a fair destiny for the agriculture sector.
President of the European Investment Bank (EIB) Nadia Calviño said:
“Farming is a dynamic aspect of EU life and a constructive aspect of our system. The EIB Group financing reported today will allow to back a fresh era of farmers, including more females in the sector.
Our investments are component of a holistic strategy, operating with the European Commission, to fund innovation and support build the sustainability and stability of small businesses engaged in every aspect of the wider agriculture and bioeconomy areas.
Furthermore, the latest financing seeks to stimulate investments in a spectrum of moves, including digital devices, soil health, and water management.
