On 9 December 2025, a workshop titled “Agrarian notes — a new financial instrument for farmers” will take place with the support of Switzerland.
Agrarian notes are a modern digital tool that simplifies access to finance for small and medium-sized agricultural producers. These notes can be issued online without the involvement of a notary, which speeds up the process and makes it more accessible. The instrument now covers not only crop production but also livestock and primary processing.
During the workshop, experts will explain how to use agrarian notes for:
- raising finance;
- business development;
- building long-term partnerships between producers and lenders.
Who the workshop is for:
- small and medium-sized producers of organic products, as well as those in the transition period;
- small and medium-sized producers of conventional (non-organic) products interested in new financial instruments.
Participants will learn:
- how agricultural notes work;
- the benefits for different types of agricultural producers;
- practical case studies and recommendations for use.
Participation is free of charge upon prior registration.
