FWWB’s Approach

FWWB offers tailor-made products to FPOs with flexible disbursement and repayment terms and conditions. Prepayment of the loan is allowed without any penalty. Hence, FPOs can maximize the use of the working capital provided by FWWB. 

Public sector banks are providing farmers loans at affordable interest rates under priority sector lending. However, many of the farmers are not able to avail of loans from the banks for various reasons. Therefore, community collectives have a significant role in improving farmers’ credit access and asset creation. By supporting the community collectives, FWWB ensures that the farmers get the credit at the right time and create alternate livelihoods through asset creation

Testimonial from beneficiary

Krushi Vikas
Place: Maharashtra

कृषी विकास और FWWB का काफी पुराना रिश्ता रहा है। कृषि विकास द्वारा बनाए गए FPOs को पिछले कुछ वर्षो में FWWB द्वारा लोन देकर उनकी व्यवसाय वृद्धि के लिए सहायता की है। शुरुवाती वर्षो में नए FPO को लोन प्राप्त करने में काफी दिक्कत होती है। ऐसी परिस्थिति में FWWB की आर्थिक सहायता की वजह से क्रेडिट हिस्ट्री तैयार करने के लिए भी काफी मदत हुई है।

जय सरदार किसान उत्पादक संगठन की उपलब्धि में FWWB इंडिया का बहुत बड़ा योगदान रहा है। जब हमे लोन मिलने में दिक्कत हो रही थी तब FWWB ने हमे लोन दिया। आज तक हम 5-6 बार fwwb से लोन ले चुके है। इससे न सिर्फ हमे बिजनेस बढाने हेतु फायदा हुआ है बल्कि हमसे जुड़े हजारों किसानों को अच्छा भाव हम दे पाए है। साथ ही जय सरदार FPO को अभ्यास सहल हेतू भेट देणे वाले शेकडो FPO को हमने FWWB से जुडणे को सलाह भी दी है।
