What you get

Pipeline Development

Enterprises that are legible

Each Agri-SME records the day on the Panuka Diary. That becomes structured money and production records — not a self-reported form.

A Bankability Scorecard you can read

A seven-pillar credit signal built from verified records, so your team assesses a real enterprise instead of guessing.

Consent-based Data Rooms

The enterprise shares its verified pack with you under its own consent — the evidence a credit committee needs, without a field visit per applicant.

Verified outcomes and reporting

Progress measured against the outcomes agreed at the start, reported back to you — and to your own funder if the places are sponsored.

Pipeline Developmentcontributes directly to NFIS II. We report against these indicators rather than claiming the strategy's outcomes as our own.

See the full impact picture

Indicators contributed to

Access to formal credit for the small and emergent agricultural sector
Usage of formal financial products, not just account ownership
Quality of financial infrastructure serving agriculture

What this means: A farmer who could not previously be assessed arrives at a bank with verified records, and gets a decision on the merits of the enterprise.
