Pledge Loan
About Us
The farmer-friendly Corporation and its pro-farmer policies have been immensely benefiting the farming community. They avoid distress sale by availing pledge loan from the nationalized or scheduled banks pledging the negotiable Warehouse receipt they get from MSWC after depositing their produce, at a very economical rate. MSWC provides them storage space in its warehousing centres as 25% of the storage space are reserved for farmers. As the immediate requirements are met by way of pledge loan, the farmer can wait till the market price reaches the expected level.
