    Why agriculture & agri-processing SMEs need specialist lenders
    • Seasonal input costs
      Seed, fertiliser and labour hit months before harvest revenue.
    • Weather & price risk
      Lenders need agri-savvy underwriting, not generic credit scores.
    • Capex cycles
      Irrigation, tractors and processing equipment need long-term finance.
    Typical deal sizes
    R250,000 – R15,000,000

    Most farmers, agri-processors and food-supply businesses on Funder are funded in this range. Match speed depends on document quality and the lender's underwriting model.
