To promote nationwide adoption pf the hybrid-corn production
technology, Quedan and Rural Credit Guarantee Corp. (Quedancor)
designed a program which provides better credit access to hybrid-corn
seed growers and farmers and help them realize increased corn
production and income.
The Quedancor Hybrid Corn Seed Production (HCSP) program is
an innovative scheme for funding the technology of cultivating
hybrid-corn seeds in the open fields. It is implemented by Quedancor
through the Special Window Mode facility using the Self-Reliant
Team Model.
According to Quedancor president and CEO Nelson Buenaflor,
the HCSP Program carries Quedancor's flexible loan term and
low-interest rates which encourage clients to pay on time. With
the P60, 000 maximum loanable amount per borrower over six-month
maximum term of payment, 14-percent interest rates per annum
is given subject to one percent rebate in case of timely payment.
The rebate will be funded on the regular amortization due or
on due date upon repayment on time.
