The corporation is the new national administrator for the federal government’s farm loans scheme, chairman David Foster said.
“Our goal is to make sure viable farmers in need can access our finance to help them through the tough times so they can thrive in the good times,” Mr Foster said.
Under the corporation, more Australian farm businesses will be eligible for low-interest loans and there is more flexibility around how the loan can be used.
“Our loan products will be easy to access through a consistent assessment process, which means every farmer will be treated the same regardless of where they live,” he said.
Farmers can apply for drought loans and farm investment loans.
