RIC will host a free online webinar on Wednesday, 28 February 2024 for farmers, financial advisers, business planners and rural counsellors who are interested in learning more about how a low-interest RIC Drought Loan may be able to help prepare for, manage through or recover from drought.

RIC has reached 3000 farm loan customers valued at more than $3.24 billion after recently settling its 3000th loan since 1 July 2018 for South Australian egg producers Trudy and Andrew Pilmore.

Regional Investment Corporation (RIC) today released its inaugural RIC Farm Loans Customer Insights Report 2023 which revealed RIC farmers are feeling confident in their farm business and the agriculture industry’s future while concerns about rising interest rates, drought and income volatility are top of mind.

RIC is hosting a free Farm Investment Loan webinar on 25 October 2023 for farmers, advisers and agriculture industry groups to learn more about how low-cost farm business loans can be used to support rebuilding and recovery after a severe financial impact.
