Through this initiative, SLCM would extend financial solutions support to farmers, processors, traders, agriculture exchanges, exporters and importers across Myanmar.
This association would change the dynamics of finance & lending sector for Agriculture & other commodities in the country.
The bank will offer farmers to pledge 60% of their commodities, stored at SLCM’s warehouses, for a certain period at an interest rate of 13% p.a. SLCM is the first warehousing company from India to provide the same scientific and financial support to agri economies of developing nations in ASEAN.
On the occasion, Sandeep Sabharwal – Group CEO, SLCM said, “We have replicated our best practices & expertise in agriculture warehousing domain in this Golden Land of Myanmar. I am gratified by the support of YOMA BANK for the collateral management services, as it will facilitate the entire business fraternity.
