Knowledge gap
Limited financial literacy and business management capability — farmers lack the frameworks to plan, document, and present their ventures to institutional lenders.
Our story
Built from practice, not theory
We built Panuka because we saw the problem from inside it. Panuka Farm was established under the same conditions faced by smallholder farmers across Africa — limited land, scarce resources, and systemic barriers to finance and markets.
The name “Panuka” means “being clever” in Tonga and “to expand” in Swahili. That's the philosophy.
The TTL Framework — Teach, Tools, Linkages — came from noticing what actually changed things: the training to frame it, the digital tools to track it, and the network to close the gap between farmers and commercial partners. Panuka Farm became a working farm that became a living blueprint for smallholder transformation.
