Africa’s agricultural sector is a powerhouse for economic growth and food security, yet many agribusinesses struggle with access to financing and mentorship—key drivers for success.

As the season changes, many commercial vegetable farmers in South Africa face a financial squeeze. Harvest income slows down, but costs like labour, maintenance, and loan repayments don’t. Plus, price drops at the end of the season and rising interest rates make cash flow management even tougher. The good news? Smart financial planning can help farmers bridge the gap. From securing buyers before planting to negotiating flexible loan terms, there are ways to stay financially stable between seasons. At Pumpkn, we help farmers access the working capital they need to keep their businesses running—no matter the season.
