As a third-generation poultry farmer, Petros Lisgaras successfully expanded his family business, making it more competitive in the poultry industry and future-proofing it for the next generation. Thanks to the investment from the EAFRD Guarantee, he built a modern facility that tripled production and ensured the sustainability of the family business for years to come.

Antal Iustin Enterprise needed a solution to store their crops for a longer period of time. Through the financial instrument EAFRD Risk sharing loan provided by Raiffeisen Bank they were able to build 4 more silos, doubling their capacity and allowing them to sell at better market prices. Also, they transformed part of their cereal production into natural animal feed, creating an alternative income stream during the off-season. The flexible repayment schedule and subsidised interest rate from the bank allowed them to cope with seasonal fluctuations in crop production.
