  Agricultural producers attract loans for different purposes, including for funding working capital, making long-term investments, paying off debts and even paying wages. Opinion poll in the framework of the “Land Reform Barometer” project showed that banks serve as a source for loans mainly for agricultural enterprises, while farmers rely mostly on friends and family. Usually, banks give the full sum of the requested loan. Yet, there are instances when banks either refuse lending or give fewer sums than requested. Agricultural enterprises take bigger loans than farmers, but their interest rates do not differ significantly.
