About Nirsal Credit Risk Guarantee(CRG)Loan 

The NIRSAL Credit Risk Guarantee (CRG) is the core service provided by NIRSAL Plc. The CRG is an instrument issued to protect financiers and investors from possible losses in a finance/credit transaction through a risk-sharing arrangement under which NIRSAL indemnifies the lender or investor of the Principal and accrued Interest to the limit of a pre-agreed CRG rate. The offer of the NIRSAL CRG serves as a comfort to financiers and investors, encouraging them to lend to the agribusiness.

The NIRSAL CRG secures agribusiness loans against losses over the life of the underlying credit contract between a financier and actors across all segments of the agricultural value chain. It covers credit in the form of term loans, and/or debt instruments such as short, medium, and long-term notes, excluding overdrafts.

The NIRSAL CRG also covers the credit risk of default on loan principal and the accrued interest. It is purchased at 1% (upfront payment) of the loan value and subsequent outstanding balances of the loan annually.

Loan Application process

There are six steps every farmer must complete before getting the loan and they include;

  • Step 1- Farmer/Agribusiness applies for a loan from a Commercial Bank and requests for NIRSAL CRG cover.
  • STEP 2 – Bank approves the loan and sends CRG request and relevant documents to NIRSAL on behalf of the farmer/agribusiness.
  • STEP 3 – NIRSAL reviews Bank’s request and checks documents for completeness, accuracy and validity.
  • STEP 4 – If documents are in order, NIRSAL and Bank conduct farm/site visitation and prepare a report which is subjected to NIRSAL’s internal approval process.
  • STEP 5 – Upon approval by NIRSAL and payment of CRG fee, NIRSAL issues CRG in favour of the Bank on behalf of the farmer/agribusiness.
  • STEP 6 – Bank disburses the loan to farmer/agribusiness and NIRSAL commences project monitoring through its nationwide Project Monitoring, Reporting & Remediation Offices

To scale and expand your agribusiness often requires access to credit. NIRSAL’s Loan Facilitation services help you to structure your agribusiness finance and investment needs, understand your financial requirements and match your agribusiness (supported by NIRSAL’s Credit Risk Guarantee), with the appropriate finance and investment options you require.
