You're reading the July 2024 edition of LANDE's Platform Performance Report, which we publish monthly to highlight our progress in loan issuance and debt collection and provide insight into other platform or team developments.
The total amount issued to farmers on the LANDE platform in July 2024 was €775,050 across 31 projects (avg. project value €25,001). The breakdown by country is as follows:
129 new investors registered on the LANDE Platform in July.
LANDE investors earned a total of €118,260 in interest in July, getting to an all-time total of €1.7 million.
The Investor Relations team reported a stable number of customer support tickets submitted in July compared to the previous month, with no significant issues generating complaints and/or clarifications.
As for technical platform updates, alongside overall improvements to platform reliability and stability, the IT team has implemented new project filters on the Primary Market – similar to those implemented in June on the Secondary Market –, to make it easier for investors to select their preferred project categories by criteria such as country, LTV, term, interest rate, repayment schedule, etc., as well as a filter to exclude projects where the user has already made investments.
Don't forget that the Summer Boost Cashback Campaign will end on August 31st. If you want to access higher cashback bonuses for single investments above €500, you need to act soon!

Collateral quality
LANDE credit teams on all our markets have continued to focus on selecting low-risk clients that can provide high-quality collateral, with land/property and machinery being prioritized over higher risk categories like cattle, harvests or financial collateral – as these tend to be more unpredictable and more difficult to evaluate.
The share of loans issued in July that were backed by either land/property or machinery in each market was the following: Romania 87%; Lithuania 83%; Latvia 83%.
Debt collection
A total of 63 projects are currently in default (5.7%) across LANDE markets, after all soft recovery processes were exhausted by our debt collection teams.
Of all defaulted projects, 48 are currently in the most advanced stages of legal and recovery proceedings (with either peaceful settlements or final court decision for enforcement issued). 42 are undergoing enforcement by bailiffs, who are seizing the sellable assets and organizing auctions. The duration of recovery of assets by bailiffs will vary by market and case particularities.
