Landwirtschaftliche Rentenbank

The Landwirtschaftliche Rentenbank is Germany's leading development bank for the agricultural sector and rural areas. Based in Frankfurt am Main, it promotes investments in agriculture, the upstream and downstream sectors, as well as in rural areas through low-interest loans. These loans are granted through local banks to ensure neutral support[1][3].

The Rentenbank is a public law institution with a statutory development mandate. Its mission includes supporting sustainable development in the agricultural sector and promoting rural areas. It places great importance on innovation, environmental protection, and animal welfare[2][3].

The Rentenbank is strongly committed to sustainability and climate protection. It promotes projects that reduce emissions and open up new, sustainable sources of income. Additionally, it supports research projects that advance climate protection in agriculture[3][5]. The Edmund Rehwinkel Foundation of the Rentenbank promotes scientific research and events that foster the exchange between science and practice[1].

The Rentenbank primarily refinances itself on the international capital markets through the issuance of bonds and other financial instruments. It enjoys a AAA rating from the three major rating agencies, underscoring its high creditworthiness[1][5].

The Rentenbank offers a variety of funding programs, including the Investment and Future Program for Agriculture as well as special programs for barn conversions and emission reduction. It also supports start-ups in the agricultural sector through accelerator programs and networks such as the Growth Alliance[3][5].
