Proprietary algorithms assess farmer risk profiles, enabling financial institutions to make informed lending decisions with confidence.

Farmers receive essential seeds and fertilizers on credit through our network of trusted agricultural retailers, ensuring timely access to resources.

Puno secures market access for farmers' yields, eliminating price volatility and ensuring a buyer is ready once crops are harvested.

Repayment for inputs occurs exclusively after the farmer's yield is sold, aligning with natural crop cycles and mitigating pre-harvest debt burden.

Our Roots

From the Field, For the Field

Puno was born from lived experience in a farming family, witnessing firsthand how traditional banking models fail smallholder farmers. This insight fueled a determination to build a financial infrastructure that truly understands and supports agricultural cycles.

We believe smallholder farmers deserve the same robust financial tools as commercial farms. Our yield-backed capital model solves the critical gap, enabling growth and stability where it's needed most.
