Agricultural Credit Corporation (ACC) is a not-for-profit farm organization founded in 1992 by a coalition of farm organizations and is now comprised of 19 producer associations and marketing boards. Since that time, we have provided in excess of three billion dollars in operating funds to Canadian producers.
ACC offers low cost operating loans to producers across Canada. Each member of the Board of Directors is a farmer, many of whom represent other commodity boards or associations. The expertise of ACC is built upon experience gained in offering loans, producer credit review, managing large loan accounts, meeting government loan guarantee parameters and collection of loan repayments.
