Dates: 20 Million Dinars in Seasonal Credit for Growers

The Banque Tunisienne de Solidarité (BTS Bank) is setting aside a 20-million-dinar fund for small farmers, in the form of seasonal credit. This targeted financing is meant to support the date collection, the precise moment when the harvest comes together before heading into sales channels.

20 million dinars: where does this fund come from?

Twenty million dinars, granted as seasonal credit by the Banque Tunisienne de Solidarité, to support the date collection.

The Banque Tunisienne de Solidarité (BTS Bank) has set up a 20-million-dinar credit line for small farmers. A specific bank stands behind this commitment.

The bank is allocating this sum as seasonal credit, granted to small farmers to support the collection.

Who are these seasonal credits for?

The Banque Tunisienne de Solidarité has set up a 20-million-dinar credit line for small farmers. This choice precisely defines the intended audience: not large commercial operations, but producers with more modest setups.

These seasonal credits are designed to support the collection. The fund is therefore built around this precise moment in the farming calendar, when the harvest must be gathered before it goes to market.

What do these credits actually finance?

The Banque Tunisienne de Solidarité (BTS Bank) has announced it: a 20-million-dinar fund will be granted as seasonal credit to small farmers. According to the bank, this financing is meant to directly support the collection, the stage at which the date harvest is gathered before entering sales channels.

By reserving this fund for small producers, BTS Bank is targeting a category often less equipped to cover the costs of this period. It's support designed to follow the harvest calendar, season after season, rather than a one-off, general handout.

Twenty million dinars, granted as seasonal credit by the Banque Tunisienne de Solidarité, to support the date collection. If you farm on a small scale, the simplest step is to contact your local BTS Bank branch to find out how to access it.
