Agriloan Launch
More opportunities for the agricultural entrepreneur
Qredits Aruba launched the Agriloan for (future) commercial farmers.
Qredits Aruba, in collaboration with the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Communication, and Sustainable Development, with support from the Ministry of Transport, Integrity, Nature, and Elderly Affairs, announced the start of the "Agrifund" project and launched the new financial product, Agriloan. The Agriloan was introduced to support (future) entrepreneurs who needed access to financing and guidance in the agriculture industry. This provided a boost to the ongoing development of the agriculture sector in Aruba.
Agri Business Academy
At the beginning of 2023, the educational program "AGRI Business Academy" was also launched. Qredits Aruba, together with the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Communication, and Sustainable Development, Mr. Geoffrey Wever, with the support of the Ministry of Transport, Integrity, Nature, and Elderly Affairs, Mr. Ursell Arends, launched the project to provide guidance and to continue strengthening "Entrepreneurship" in the agriculture sector.
This program was successful, with 40 participants who presented their products and/or services in the agriculture sector, and in the end, they received their certificates. The "AGRI Business Academy" added value to every (future) farmer who wished to start and/or expand their own business successfully.
