How does interest rate subsidisation work?
The state compensates part of the interest rate on ACC loans under Ministry of Agriculture subsidisation programmes. The effective rate for borrowers starts from 5% per annum on subsidised programmes. The subsidy is paid directly to ACC; the borrower pays only the subsidised portion.

What is a credit partnership and how do I get a loan through one?
A credit partnership (CP) is a non-commercial association of farmers that receives wholesale funding from ACC and distributes it among its members. To get a loan through a CP, you must become a member of the partnership in your district. The list of accredited credit partnerships is in the Contacts section.

How does the farm stress test work?
For livestock programmes, ACC runs an express economic assessment using Fajr norms: income (milk, meat, additional sales), expenses (feed, veterinary, wages, rent) and the ratio of annual payment to net income are evaluated. If the payment exceeds 50% of net income — adjusting the loan amount or term is recommended.

What do AER, CP, STB, fieldwork and harvesting, working capital and MCI mean?
AER is the annual effective rate, which reflects the real cost of a loan. CP means a credit partnership, and STB means a second-tier commercial bank. Fieldwork and harvesting covers seasonal sowing and harvesting costs. Working capital covers day-to-day business expenses. MCI is the monthly calculation index used for statutory limits; in 2026 it is KZT 4,325. A margin is the partner institution's mark-up on the ACC rate.
