Visit RIC (Regional Investment Corporation) at this year's Elmore Field Days in Elmore, Victoria, to find out more about RIC's low-interest loans and how they can help farmers improve cash flow in tough financial times.
RIC Chief Executive Officer John Howard said RIC is pleased to return to Elmore Field Days as part of the Agriculture Victoria site this year and for attendees to visit the RIC team to find out more about RIC loans and ask any questions.
"RIC exists to help farmers in tough financial times outside their control due to drought, floods and other events to improve their cash flow to better manage through and get back on their feet. We also provide low-interest loans for first farmers and succession planning," said Mr Howard.
"RIC loans enable farmers to restructure up to half their existing commercial bank debt at our lower interest rate with interest-only terms for the first five years of a 10-year loan term.
"This helps to improve short-term cash flow to manage through tough financial times and some breathing space to plan for their recovery."
Find the RIC team at Elmore, site 353 in the Agriculture Victoria tent from 7-9 October 2025.
RIC has $308 million in new loan funding remaining for this financial year to 30 June 2026. An additional $1 billion in funding for loans beyond FY26 was also recently announced.
In the seven years since RIC began, more than 3,438 loans have been settled for Australian farmers and farming business valued at more than $3.65 billion as at 31 August 2025.
