Goal action plan

Creation of a new agribusiness model, a micro-franchise that fits the needs of each country, in cooperation with local parties and improving farmers' lives by increasing their yield, and quality of their crops as well as dispensing the necessary education for organic farming. The micro-franchise will be centered around a biofertilizer that can be produced locally at very low cost.

As the first step, biofertilizer low cost production plant will be installed in 5 African countries as early as 2023.
