ROCA Agri RDF to launch funding instrument for the agriculture sector

ROCA Agri RDF, the agricultural holding launched by ROCA Investments, aims to support farmers by preparing the launch of a Non-Banking Financial Institution (IFN). This IFN is intended to cater to the financing needs of the agricultural sector, pending the authorization process by the National Bank of Romania (BNR).

The funding instrument will offer loans specifically for the agricultural sector. Through this initiative, the agricultural holding aims to expand and diversify its products, in order to offer further support to farmers. This development aligns with the strategic direction of the holding to become a key player on the national agriculture stage.

„As part of our development strategy, we intend to complement the range of products and services within our group by introducing specialized services for farmers’ financing needs. This effort involves preparing the launch of a Non-Banking Financial Institution. The financing services will cater to the specific requirements of farmers, including short-term credits to support agricultural production. These credits will feature an easy application process and a repayment plan tailored to seasonal activities. By financing the agricultural sector – a vital domain for Romania’s economy – our aim is to ensure the prosperity of the country’s agricultural communities. We are dedicated to providing diversified solutions that strenghten farmers’ endeavors,” said Alexandru Savin, CEO of ROCA Agri RDF.

Present on the market since July 2022, the ROCA Agri RDF holding has generated revenues of over 156 million euros in the past year and has doubled its exploited agricultural area, reaching a total of 4,000 hectares. Operating through its subsidiaries — namely RDF, RDF Agricultura, Adidana, Dachim, and Supliment — all of which are rapidly expanding on a national scale, the conglomerate stands as a prominent figure in both the production and distribution of agricultural inputs, as well as in the trade of cereals.

ROCA Agri RDF’s investors are ROCA Investments, as the majority shareholder, and Florin Deznan. ROCA Investments specializes in acquiring medium-sized entrepreneurial companies and transforming them into high-performing entities in strategically targeted sectors.
