The agreement has been signed by Unicaja Banco’s Division Manager of Commercial Banking in Castilla-La Mancha, José Ignacio Martínez, and by the Head of APAGA Guadalajara, Juan José Laso. The parties have remarked the benefits of this collaboration, as it allows farmers and livestock breeders in the province to process their dossier in an easier way and with maximum guarantees.

Specific products and services
Aware of the importance of the agricultural sector in Guadalajara, and in Castilla-La Mancha, and taking into account the current needs and demands of this group of professionals, Unicaja Banco puts at the disposal of farmers a comprehensive range of specialized products and services under special conditions.
In addition to the advance payment of CAP subsidies, farmers will find the funding they need to launch new business projects, invest in improvements or in the acquisition of new agricultural machinery, launch new crops or expand markets.
