Our Vision
Over 200,000 Registered farmers and some live in poverty because they are unable to produce enough food while others are barely breaking even.
We would like to help subsistence farmers to start producing for resale and improve yields for others.
Our vision is to have 300,000 farmers using our system by 2030 and improving their yields by at least 30% and lower our food import bill while contributing more to GDP.
