ACPC pilots online lending for farmers
The Philippine Star
|October 23, 2025
The credit and financing arm of the Department of Agriculture (DA) has launched a new digital loan system that aims to make it faster and easier for farmers to access government credit.
The Agricultural Credit Policy Council (ACPC) said it has started the pilot testing of the Agri Credit ePortal 2.0, or ACE Portal, in the Negros Oriental towns of La Libertad and Siaton.
“We want every farmer, even those in remote areas, to have fair and fast access to credit. Distance or lack of digital knowledge should not be a barrier,” ACPC executive director Rallen Verdadero said.
