BAAC sparks up cannabis farming loan schemeMr Somkiat warned that the cannabis is not for any farmer. "You need to be highly motivated to plant cannabis because it demands close and attentive care," he said. Eligible borrowers for the cannabis loan must be community enterprises, social enterprises or agricultural cooperatives, not individual borrowers. In addition, eligible borrowers have to secure a permit from the Food and Drug Administration to plant cannabis. BAAC estimates 157 community enterprises out of a total of 10,000 nationwide have the potential to do cannabis farming.
