Prime Bank PLC recently organised an "Open Agri Credit Disbursement Programme" at Hatibandha Upazila Dakbangla Field in Lalmonirhat.

Rantu Poddar, upazila nirbahi officer (UNO) of Hatibandha, attended the programme and distributed cheques among 288 farmers.

The programme highlighted various aspects of Prime Bank's agricultural loan support aimed at boosting farm output, improving farm management and strengthening farmers' financial capacity.

In recognition of regular loan utilisation and timely repayment of instalments, five farmers were awarded crests.

To ensure direct access to credit at the grassroots level, the bank has introduced specialised agricultural loan products, including Abad, Khamar and Nabanna.

In addition, Prime Bank is offering low-interest loans on easy terms to encourage the cultivation of import-substitute crops, thereby reducing dependence on imports.
