Accelerate first gen and next gen farm businesses

RIC CEO John Howard visited the Northern Rivers of NSW this week to increase awareness of RIC’s Farm Investment Loan as a recovery option for farmers affected by natural disasters and financial downturn.

Regional Investment Corporation (RIC) is pleased to welcome Mr Mark Tucker to the RIC Board as its fifth and final member. Mark Tucker brings extensive experience as a Deputy Secretary across Australian Government departments including Agriculture, Fisheries, Forestry, Water and Environment, Communications, and the Arts.

As the only Federal Government funded, low-cost loan available to support the establishment of new farm businesses across Australia, 2 years since first offered, RIC AgriStarter Loan is helping to accelerate first generation and next generation farm businesses to start-up, set-up and grow.
