Services

At Peulwana Agricultural Financial Services we are familiar with the plight of the small and medium –scale farmers who face adverse and very hard barriers to entry into the agricultural sector, especially access to start-up capital and resource investment. Therefore, we assist these farmers to be able to grow and tip the scale of the economic inequality that currently prevails in the agricultural sector.

Relying on investment from both public and the private sector, Peulwana aims to unlock the sector by providing credit to small and medium-scale farmers, agro-processors and co-operatives along the agricultural value chain. In addition to this Peulwana Agricultural Financial Services provides project management for rural agricultural development initiatives.
