Agrícola 76 is an organic produce grower based in Sonora, Mexico. They cultivate Persian cucumber, grapes, cherry and Roma tomatoes sold primarily to the United States and Canada.
The solution:
Pre-Season financing
with no land collateral requirement
“We found it incredibly difficult to get financing from banks, but ProducePay’s service was easy and fast because they already understood what we needed.”
Roberto Ruíz Sánchez
General Manager of Agrícola 76
Agrícola 76 realized that they didn’t just need capital but also the right partner who understood the needs of their business. By working with ProducePay, Agrícola 76 finally had a partner who could provide the working capital they needed and the financing options designed specifically for growers like them.
Unlike the banks, ProducePay was easy to communicate with, supportive and needed far less paperwork for their application. And because they were willing to accept product as a guarantee for financing, Agrícola 76 didn’t have to offer their land as collateral.
