    Qualified harvesters may be eligible to receive a down payment loan through the Department of Industry, Energy and Technology.

    Government is now accepting applications for its new Harvester Enterprise Loan Program. An enhancement of the Fisheries Loan Guarantee Program, this new program supports development of the independent fish harvesting industry through loan guarantees, down payment loans and interest rebates to fish harvesters. Qualified harvesters may be eligible to receive a down payment loan through the Department of Industry, Energy and Technology, as well as an interest rebate to reduce financing costs associated with the loan from the financial institution.
