The Australian Government’s Regional Investment Corporation (RIC) has announced it has more than $300 million available in FY2025 to support farms and farm-related small businesses in financial need.  

RIC offers low-interest loans (currently 5.18%) to farm businesses to strengthen Australian agriculture and build thriving regional communities. The concessional loans can be used to help farmers deal with issues including drought, natural disasters, biosecurity and market issues. 

The concessional loans can also help new generation farmers with their business plans and to keep family farms in the family through succession planning.
