Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is submitting its Amendment No.2 to its registration statement on Form F-1 (the " Amended Registration Statement "). The Staff's comments are repeated below in bold, followed by the Company's response to such comments. The Company has included page numbers to refer to the location in the Amended Registration Statement where the language addressing a particular comment appears. Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form F-1 Exhibits 1. Please revise the following exhibits to your registration statement to address the matters noted below: ● Please revise the legal opinions filed as exhibits 5.1 and 5.2, respectively, to remove any inappropriate assumptions. In this regard, it is not appropriate for a counsel to include in its opinion assumptions that assume any of the material facts underlying the opinion. For example, we note the assumptions in the 5.1 legal opinion provided by Conyers Dill & Pearman LLP that: (1) "the Company will have sufficient authorised share capital to effect the issue of any Class A Common Shares at the time of issuance;" (2) "at the time of entering into the Underwriting Agreement and issuing and transferring the Class A Common Shares and Representative Warrants, and after entering into the Underwriting Agreement and issuing and transferring the Class A Common Shares and Representative Warrants and at all other material times, the Company is and will be solvent and will be able to pay its liabilities as they become due;" and (3) "the resolutions contained in the Resolutions were passed by unanimous written resolutions of the directors of the Company, remain in full force and effect and have not been and will not be rescinded or amended." We also note the assumptions in the 5.2 legal opinion provided by Carter Ledyard & Milburn LLP that "[i]n connection with the opinion expressed above, we have assumed that at or prior to the time of the issuance of the Representative's Warrants: (i) the Board of Directors of the Company shall have duly established the terms of the Representative's Warrants and duly authorized their issuance and such authorization shall not have been modified or rescinded." Refer to Section II.B.3.a of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19. ● Please revise the opinion filed as exhibit 8.2 provided by DLA Piper (Canada) LLP to clarify that Canadian counsel is opining on certain Canadian legal matters, and revise your registration statement to clearly identify which disclosures are the opinion of Canadian legal counsel, including with regard to your tax disclosures. Refer to Section III.A.1 of Staff Legal Bulletin 19. We have revised the legal opinions filed as exhibits 5.1, 5.2 and 8.2, respectively. In addition, we have revised the disclosure in the Amended Registration Statement on page 90 to clearly identify the disclosures with respect to the opinion of Canadian legal counsel. General 2. We note that slide 13 of your Free Writing Prospectus, filed March 19, 2025, discloses that: (1) the global hydroponics market will be valued at $17.3 billion in 2024, and will grow at a CAGR of 16.2% to reach $66.6 billion by 2033 according to Dimensions Market Research (2024); and (2) the global hydroponics market will grow from $15.57 billion in 2024 to $28.95 billion in 2029, representing a CAGR of 13.7% according to The Business Research Company (2025). Please revise to clarify the global hydroponics market size in 2024, given that the two sources cited in your slide appear to provide conflicting figures. Please also revise to provide a more detailed discussion of the material assumptions underlying the global hydroponics market size projections for 2029 and 2033, including any assumptions underlying the growth percentages. Revise your registration statement to include conforming changes. To the extent you commissioned any of the research cited in slide 13, please disclose the same and file the consent of the relevant third party as an exhibit to your registration statement. See Securities Act Rule 436. We have provided supplemental disclosure on page 60 of the Amended Registration Statemen to clarify the information contained on page 13 of the Free Writing Prospectus. We respectfully advise the Staff that we did not commission the research cited in slide 13 of our Free Writing Prospectus.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Pinnacle Food
Group Limited (the “Company”), an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, we submit to
the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) this letter
setting forth the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the Staff’s letter dated February 20, 2025 on the Company’s

summary to disclose, as you do on page 96, the exercise price of the representative's
warrants.
Prospectus Summary, page 1
We note your response to comment 7. Please revise your disclosures on pages 2
through 4 to clearly identify the party producing each product. For example, note the
third-party commissioned to design the molds for the Model S, clarify that Seonwo 2.
December 26, 2024
Page 2
and Banjia are the OEM manufacturers that produce the equipment using the molds,
and clearly disclose the parties designing and manufacturing the Model A and R. We
also note your disclosure on page 3 that the Model R is currently in the development
stage, and your disclosure on page 63 that you completed the installation of the first
Model R in November 2024 and provided the FaaS Enterprise subscription package
directly to your first Model R customer in November 2024. Please clarify whether the
Model R is still in development or if it is being sold to customers, either directly by
you or through a distributor. Finally, we note your disclosure on page 64 that the
Model M is an off-the-shelf product purchased from Banjia and Seonwo. Please revise
to disclose this fact in the summary, and clarify whether any customer or enterprise
can purchase the Model M directly from Banjia and Seonwo.
Risk Factors
Supply chain disruptions could adversely impact our operations., page 13
3.We note your response to comment 11. Please revise to disclose the percentage of
your total purchases of materials and outsourced production costs attributable to your
principal suppliers for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended
December 31, 2023. Please also disclose whether you expect this supplier
concentration to continue going forward.
We may face risks in protecting our intellectual property due to our proxy arrangements.,
page 22
4.We note your revised disclosure that "[a]s the patent [managed by Banjia] is held in
China while we are a non-Chinese entity, Banjia must adhere to Chinese legal
standards, and the disparity between intellectual property laws and dispute resolution
mechanisms across different jurisdictions may further complicate issues related to
patent ownership and enforcement." Please revise to briefly describe the disparities in
patent ownership and enforcement, and the related, specific risks to your business
and investors from these disparities.
Use of Proceeds, page 39
5.We note your response to comment 18. Please revise to briefly discuss the
functionality and capabilities of the Model R that you plan to expand. Please also
clarify whether the anticipated proceeds will be sufficient to fund all of your proposed
purposes, and if not, please provide the amount and sources of other funds needed.
Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
Revenue, page 49
6.Please quantify the percentage of your 2023 and 2024 Smart Farming Systems
customers that subsequently purchased extended farming services after the six month
farming period ended. If that percentage is minimal, then please disclose why,
including whether that reflects customer dissatisfaction with your product. We note
the disclosures on pages F-11 and F-31.
7.Please quantify the volume of smart farming systems sales in each period so that
readers can better understand the composition of your reported revenue balances.
Disclose also whether any sales were made to related parties.

8.Please expand this disclosure to clearly describe the terms of your material revenue
transactions. Disclose the product return and warranty rights given to distributors and
individual customers and explain how you expect to grow your business if no such
rights are granted. Discuss the extent to which the Registrant has to perform any
work in order to maintain the functionality of the products after they are sold. Clarify
whether customers receive any software updates for their products. Describe the
subscription packages referenced on page 3 and the accounting implications. Describe
the sales transactions that generated the material portion of the contract asset and
liability balances on your Balance Sheets. Clarify your response to comment 41 about
the value of service elements being "minimal" and "immaterial" given the disclosures
throughout the filing about the value of the "data intelligence" you provide to
customers.
Business
Industry Overview, page 58
9.We note your response to comment 30. Please revise your disclosure to quantify the
general costs of smart farming compared to traditional greenhouses.
Our Strengths, page 59
10.We note your response to comment 31 that you "do not have formal agreements with
third-party agricultural experts" and instead "leverage opportunities by participating in
various industry exhibitions and visiting academic agricultural scholars and experts
from universities," and that "[i]n collaboration with these experts, [you] conduct
experimental projects in [y]our company, such as experiments involving nutrient
solutions and probiotics for crop growth," which "allows [you] to gain agricultural
expertise at a minimal cost, primarily covering travel expenses, rather than entering
into formal agreements or incurring the cost of maintaining in-house experts." Please
revise the disclosure in your filing to include this additional detail. Please also clarify
whether you pay these experts any fees for their collaboration.
Our Products, page 61
11.We note your response to comment 34. Please revise to clarify whether customers
who do not purchase your subscription packages can still benefit from your user
application and limited analytics.
Note 11, page F-20
We reviewed your response to comment 44 and reissue in part. Since Li Xia Du is the
majority stockholder, it remains unclear why the redeemable Series E Preferred Stock
that she owns is not classified as temporary equity consistent with the guidance in
ASC 480-10-S99.7. In this regard, we note the risk factors on page 29 and your
disclosure on page 74 that "Our directors may be appointed or removed from office by
an ordinary resolution of shareholders". Consequently, it appears that the majority
stockholder has the ability to ultimately cause the Registrant to redeem her preferred
stock via shareholder resolution and/or the appointment of Directors. We may have 12.

further comment.
13.Please clarify where the PFAI Series E preferred stock is presented in your June 30,
2024 Balance Sheet on page F-23. Also, please expand your disclosure to clarify
whether there is any circumstance under which the holder of the PFAI Class E
preferred stock can convert/exchange the stock for PFAI Class A common stock. If
that possibility exists then presumably the Registrant could lose control of PFAI.
General
14.We note your response to comment 45 and your disclosure on page 4 that you
"engaged a distributor in British Columbia in October 2023, a distributor in
Saskatchewan in November 2023, and a distributor in New Zealand in November
