Frequently asked questions
What problem does ProducePay specifically solve in the fresh produce supply chain?
ProducePay addresses the extreme volatility and fragmentation that leads to 60% economic value and food loss in fresh produce supply chains. The firm provides working capital, shipment tracking, and a trading network to growers and buyers, aiming to stabilize cash flows and reduce waste from market fluctuations, weather, and intermediary markups. Their Predictable Commerce Programs integrate these tools into a single workflow designed to create 52-week supply consistency.
Who runs ProducePay?
The firm was founded by Pablo Borquez, who comes from a fourth-generation farming family and backgrounds the company's origin in challenges he observed growing up in agriculture. The current management team and leadership structure beyond the founder are not publicly detailed on the firm's primary website.
How does ProducePay's financing work for a grower?
ProducePay offers two main financing products: Pre-Season, which provides working capital before the growing season to cover input costs, and Quick-Pay, which accelerates payment on shipped produce by turning receivables into immediate cash. Capital is embedded directly into the transaction flow rather than offered as a standalone loan product, with funding decisions tied to shipment data and the firm's visibility tools.
Is ProducePay a lender, a marketplace, or a technology company?
ProducePay operates at the intersection of specialty finance and a trading network. It provides direct financing to growers and distributors, connects buyers and sellers through its Sourcing program, and offers a data-visibility platform for shipment tracking and quality control. This makes it a hybrid operation, though it functions most closely as a technology-enabled specialty finance company that uses its own and third-party capital to fund produce transactions.
Where does ProducePay operate?
ProducePay lists a global footprint covering 20 countries across the Americas and Europe, including major produce exporters such as Mexico, Peru, Chile, and the Netherlands, as well as buyers in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The firm's headquarters are in Los Angeles, California.
