Our Purpose
We believe that farmers in the state of Connecticut are struggling to keep up with the high demands for local and sustainably
produced food. Today, we will present marketing strategies for the Connecticut
agricultural industry through the implementation of micro-loans.

Our Purpose
Large numbers of people are eating local, sustainably produced food. Farmers in
Connecticut can greatly benefit from small, low interest business loans. Micro-financing will
allow these individuals to make small investments to increase their operations while maximizing profits by leveraging low interest
rates.

Who Are Farmers?
![Page 7: Mk 212 consumer behavior](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070513/588731391a28abc0748b5169/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Farms in CT are only big enough to do some standard farming, or even engage in commercial operations.
Connecticut led all of New England with a 22% increase in the number of farms created since 2007, for a total of 5,977.
Land included in those farms
totaled 436,406 acres, up 8%.

Farming is on the Rise
![Page 8: Mk 212 consumer behavior](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070513/588731391a28abc0748b5169/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
As of 2012, an average Connecticut farm is 73 acres.
CT is small in area at only 3.18 million acres, and agriculture accounts for approximately 13% of that acreage.
According to Mark Zotti of the Connecticut Department of Agriculture, there are 130 farmers’ markets statewide, with 300 participating farmers, up from just 66 in 2002.
Farming on the Rise continued...

Manpower: In order to keep up with high production demand, CT farms need more employees to work for them.
Machinery: High production demand also comes high volume of product inventory. High-tech machinery will help farmers become more efficient.
Land: CT is losing farmland at one of the fastest rates in the country. There are twice as many people looking for land, as there are parcels for lease or for sale on similar land link programs.

Loyalty Status, Usage Rate of Farmers● Farmers are not loyal
to one company when looking for loans.
● They use loans only on a need-based time-line.
● This means that the usage for farmers is situational.

Set interest rates at 15%. Most microlenders go from 20%, and even some to 100%+.
$5,000-$9,999 with terms of 1-3 years.$10,000-$19,999 with terms of 3-5 years.$20,000-$29,999 with terms of 5-10 years.
$30,000-$50,000 with terms of 10-15 years.
These rates will bring in monetary profit and value for the company, as well as provide non-monetary value to these small farmers and the surrounding communities.
