El Siglo reports that the state-owned Bagricola borrowed RD$200 million from the also state-owned Banco de Reservas. The curious detail about the loan is that the money was borrowed at 27% for the state farming bank to lend out to rice producers at 18%. Bagricola administrator Radhames Rodriguez confirmed the operation. He said they originally had requested RD$400 million from the Reservas.
