Frequently Ask questions
PIF is a financing program by Pullus Africa designed to provide poultry farmers with input loans, primarily covering feed costs, to support their production and ensure a steady supply of quality poultry.
To qualify, a farmer must:
- Be an active poultry farmer in a recognized and active Pullus cluster.
- Have at least two guarantors.
- Must have sold Birds to Pullus Africa before?
- Obtain consent from the cluster leader.
- Commit to selling the birds to Pullus Africa.
- Be signed up on the Pullus APP
The loan primarily covers a certain percentage of the feed for rearing the number of approved Birds, which is a critical factor in poultry production. Other possible inputs may be considered based on need and availability.
Repayment is structured to align with the farmer’s sales. Farmers are required to sell their birds to Pullus Africa at an agreed price, from which the loan repayment is deducted.
To secure repayment, PIF requires:
- A refundable equity fund (returned if there is no default).
- Weekly farm visits by Pullus staff for monitoring.
- Guarantors and cluster leader oversight.
If a farmer defaults, the equity fund may be used as a guarantee. Additionally, the farmer’s guarantors and cluster leader will be involved in resolving the issue. Persistent defaults may result in ineligibility for future loans and that of farmers cluster.
PIF offers ongoing support, including:
- Regular farm visits for monitoring and advisory services.
- Access to quality inputs and technical guidance.
- A structured market through Pullus Africa for guaranteed offtake.
The processing time varies but typically takes between 7-14 days, depending on the completion of verification, approval, and agreement signing.
A farmer can apply for another loan only after successfully repaying the previous one. Loan limits may also increase or decrease based on a farmer’s repayment history and performance.
Farmers can apply through:
- Completing the official PIF application form, which includes all required documents and guarantor details.
- Visit the office.
