I am a big farmer who does not farm. Yet, from RIFAN to Seeds association, we are like families.It was a beauty earlier in the year walking into the reception hall of Intercontinental Hotel Lagos to see many farmers shouting “Professor, gaisuwa”. They were there for an executive meeting. Months before, we gave them Zenvus Boundary which cut something that used to cost N270,000 to N7,000, helping many to comply with a Central Bank of Nigeria land requirement documentation to access the Anchor Borrowers Fund.
Yet, despite our progress, we continue to see major frictions: too much information asymmetry on the farm equipment nexus. Fascinatingly, we saw a company doing something in that space. So, people, I am happy that I have joined FarmHire.ng as a Board member and shareholder.
FarmHire does one thing well: link owners of farm equipment and broad farm inputs, and farmers. We will bring our resources to help make it better – they are already amazing.
