Subjects of the program are enterprises, aquaculture farm owners, and fishing logistics service ships with seafood purchase and reserve facilities certified for safe exploitation as regulated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development at official dispatch No 3441/BNN-TCTS.
The program offers loans with disbursement from May 5th to June 5th, 2016. The lending rate is the lowest short-term rate for loans with the same term in the prioritizing fields, but less than 7%. The SBV will support 100% of the interest rate while the borrowers purchase and stockpile.
The rate will be supported for a maximum six months from the date of disbursement of the loans./.
