AGRIBUSINESS DEVELOPMENT THROUGH VENTURE CAPITAL ASSISTANCE AND PROJECT DEVELOPMENT FACILITY

1. IntroductIon 1.1 Farming is the single largest private sector economic activity in the country. The growth

potential in this key sector is immense in view of the changes taking place in food consumption and there is growing demand for high value processed products. Successes in such endeavors will require innovations and partnerships. Private agribusiness provide first point market for the farm sector and growth depends principally on private initiatives. A significant portion of agribusiness activity is the result of small and medium enterprises. Such enterprises are necessarily widespread in location to capture opportunities that arise all along the farm to table supply chain. Key constraints that impede development of new agribusiness projects are access to information and access to credit. Agribusiness entrepreneurs are generally first generation who have business skills but their financial resources are limited for setting up units at the farm gate with backward linkages. In order to facilitate agribusiness development in the country SFAC venture capital scheme will:

(a) Assist agripreneurs to make investments in setting up agribusiness projects through financial participation, and

(b) Provide financial support for preparation of bankable Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) through Project Development Facility (PDF).

The cost of proposed agribusiness project would have to be 15 lakh & above, subject to a maximum of `500 lakh. However, projects valuing `10 lakh and above, proposed to be located in backward districts as notified by Planning Commission, hilly and North-Eastern States could also be considered for PDF and VCA.

(c) The Executive Committee of SFAC will have the power to consider projects for higher Venture Capital Assistance provided :1. Provision for higher VCA has been appraised and approved by sanctioning

authority of term loan subject to maximum of `3.00 Crore.2. Total cost of the project not more than `10.00 Crore.3. Projects are located in the North Eastern Region (NER) and other difficult

pre-identified districts declared backward by Planning Commission’s Backward Regions Grant Fund Scheme.

(d) Beneficiary will submit the project proposal in the form of DPR to area lending Notified Financial Institution.

(e) On receipt of project proposal, Notified Financial Institution will appraise, assess and sanction requisite amount of term loan/working capital required by the beneficiary for execution of the project.

(f) Notified Financial Institution will also work out the amount of Venture Capital, as per criteria laid down at para 3.1.1. (a, b & c) and communicate it to SFAC with its recommendation.

(g) SFAC will make said amount available to the recommending Notified Financial Institution on case to case basis for disbursement to the beneficiary either in lump sum or in stages, as may be considered appropriate by the Notified Financial Institution.

(h) Term Loan/working capital and loan amount from SFAC as Venture Capital will be extended to the beneficiary through a single-window by the project financing Notified Financial Institution.

(i) Due date for refund of VCA to SFAC and end date of term loan as per original repayment schedule fixed by the bank at the time of sanction of term loan remains the same e.g. in case bank fixes end date of its term loan as 31.03.2020 then VCA will also be due for refund on the same date i.e. 31.03.2020.

(j) In case the borrower is unable to repay the Venture Capital amount in lump sum immediately after repayment of bank’s term loan, he/she will have the option to repay the entire amount of VCA together with accrued amount of interest in 4 quarterly instalments within a year from original due date. The rate of interest in this regard will be the same as charged by the lending bank on its term loan.

(k) During the pendency of loan, the Notified Financial Institution will have charge over the primary/collateral securities (including FDR) available with the beneficiary and the said securities will not be released by bank to beneficiary or other institutions till full refund of VCA to SFAC.

(l) The Notified Financial Institution will provide SFAC with full details of the terms and conditions under which the term loan is sanctioned including a copy of process/appraisal note duly signed by sanctioning authority of term loan and repayment schedule fixed for the term loan.

(m) The Notified Financial Institution will also keep SFAC posted of the progress in implementation of the project and repayment of its term loan from time to time and its performance on yearly basis after the project becomes operational.

(n) The funds received from SFAC will be kept in a separate account by the Notified Financial Institution and released to promoters for the project implementation, as and when required.

(o) Agribusiness promoters may also avail Venture Capital Assistance for second time after refund of first Venture Capital Assistance as per original schedule. However, second time VCA will be for creation of additional capacity in the same activity or for a different activity.

In respect of PDA, the Notified Financial Institution will report if after examining the DPR, a decision is taken by the Notified Financial Institution not to sanction term loan on assessment that the project is not viable.

(b) report on the working of assisted units The Notified Financial Institution will submit a report on the working of the units financed

by them under VCA to SFAC on a half yearly basis indicating whether the operations are in line with the projections and whether the borrowers are adhering to repayment commitments.

developments with regard to operation of the projects, its implementation and unsatisfactory features if any noticed by them. The Notified Financial Institution will also keep SFAC informed of any recovery action initiated by them in the event of failure of the unit to perform or inability of the borrowers to meet financial commitments.
