Financing for primary agricultural production

Finnvera supports Finland’s food exports and security of supply. From 1 May 2026, Finnvera’s guarantee will be available for large agricultural investments and ownership arrangements.

Financing is available for major investments that support growth and improve competitiveness. These include the construction of new production facilities, the expansion or renovation of existing facilities, and other investments directly related to such facilities. Ownership changes are essential for ensuring business continuity and domestic food production, and financing is also available for these.

The minimum project size eligible for financing is EUR 700,000. The project is assessed as a whole, meaning that the minimum size applies to the total financing, not only to Finnvera’s share.

Finnvera works with other financiers and acts as a guarantor for loans, with a guarantee covering up to 50% of the loan amount. Borrowers must operate in a company form comparable to a limited liability company and demonstrate repayment capacity in accordance with the terms of the financing. Projects financed by Finnvera do not include public support and may not include any other state guarantee.
