The Challenge

Fafa Green Veggies ran into cash flow challenges when payment delays from key customers disrupted their income cycle.  This created a knock-on effect, limiting the farm’s ability to buy essential inputs like fertiliser and pest control products. With the planting season underway, the risk of falling behind schedule threatened productivity and long-term growth.
‍

The Solution

Pumpkn stepped in at a critical time with short-term funding tailored to the farm’s needs. The funding allowed Farai and his team to stay on schedule with planting, fertilization, and pest management. The process was fast and straightforward, giving them the financial support they needed without the stress of complex paperwork or long delays.

The Outcome

Thanks to Pumpkn’s support, Fafa Green Veggies maintained consistent operations and delivered quality produce to market. Staying on track reinforced their reputation for reliability and ensured that customer expectations were met. The funding also helped protect future income by ensuring healthy, market-ready crops.

Conclusion

Pumpkn’s funding didn’t just solve a short-term challenge, it gave Fafa Green Veggies the foundation to grow. With a track record of successful repayment, the business is now better positioned to access more funding, take on larger opportunities, and expand its market reach.

With Pumpkn in their corner, Fafa Green Veggies is focused on scaling sustainably and continuing to make a positive impact in the communities they serve.
