WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:06.400 Hey folks, good evening to you all and welcome to a space with me 2 00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:13.080 khalu Aja. We call it the Money Spaces because on the spaces we talk 3 00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:18.559 about money, personal finance, the economy, but we always make it personal, 4 00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:22.760 right. We want to talk about how the economic concept that you hear 5 00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:29.160 about every day impact your daily life and of course your wallet. That's the 6 00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:36.719 whole idea of our spaces. And today we do have a topic around the 7 00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:45.560 issues of agriculture, fintech and of course technology. We want to see how 8 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:52.920 we can have the intersection with all three. We're always talking Nigeria about agriculture. 9 00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.159 Go back to the farm and want to go back to the years when 10 00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.679 Nigeria was a large exporter of cash crow home. We had a lot of 11 00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.040 folks employed. But to day the demographics in Nigeria, you have a very 12 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.799 young population. Yes they want to farm, but they're not gonna take a 13 00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:11.760 hole in the cutlass. So farming is also has evolved. Right. We 14 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:19.760 now see Netherlands, small tiny country Netherlands producing more food than huge Nigeria with 15 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.359 more arable land and all that. So we have to then look at agriculture 16 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.879 in a different way. I think it was the formal presence of Israel that 17 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:34.439 said agriculture is ninety nine percent innovation and one percent perspiration. You've got to 18 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:40.239 do more of innovation. We see trees that have five different fruits, we 19 00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:45.959 see GM, we see you know, disease resistant crops and seeds. So 20 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:51.040 it's all tech. But also we see finance coming into that space. Finance 21 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:57.599 come into that space of agriculture where we are seeing that without money itself is 22 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.439 difficult to even run agriculture because you need to funds, you know, to 23 00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.560 build out the land, to do the site and service, just to buy 24 00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.840 the fertalizer and all that. So when we talk about agriculture, of course 25 00:02:07.919 --> 00:02:14.639 fintech and tech we have a point there and it's my pleasure to know, 26 00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:19.599 like to just host effects because they come in and they are trying to bridge 27 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.000 and so we say married distree concept together. We've had them on I think 28 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:27.599 it was last month when we talked about the cold Cash Crop, which an 29 00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:35.800 innovative hackatron where they're inviting the young folks out there to present solutions right towards 30 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.759 the agricultural space using fintech. You know, how can we make storage, 31 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:45.840 how can we make you know farmers to find markets better using fintech in it. 32 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.840 That's the entire theme that we are still on today. But today we 33 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:57.560 are talking innovation, right. We want to talk about innovation agriculture and the 34 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.000 why innovation is failing. Right. The idea here is when we talk about 35 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:05.439 how we are not doing well, then we can do better. I'm gonna 36 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:09.479 few guessed with me. Um. Adana is the only one online at the 37 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:14.280 moment. I see Hakim, Hakim, I send you the invite, but 38 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.439 I'm going to get Adanna to go ahead and introduce yourself and say hi, 39 00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:23.960 and then we can get going. Hello, Caro, thank you so much. 40 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:29.159 I think Camal is here as well. Oh, let me find him. 41 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:30.759 Let me look for Camal. There we go, Yeah, I see 42 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:36.360 him, alright, Gonna, I'm gonna send you an invite to speak or 43 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:38.800 just request to speak, and then he can be Oh, here, here's 44 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:42.520 your requested that ahead of me, and I go ahead and duce yourself. 45 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.080 That's what you do. That's why you're here, and okay, get going, 46 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.400 Okay him, everyone, thank you so much for joining us. If 47 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.840 my name is Adana at one, I need the pay team at effects and 48 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:59.319 I'm here to talk about, you know, innovation. Why we think as 49 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.080 effects with you is like an important conversation that we need to have at this 50 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:10.280 time and just basically how we intend to push that the conversation of innovation around 51 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:15.399 these three sectors forward at effects. Actually I think, well, welcome, 52 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.199 welcome to the space. Just hanging them we got hacking. Hey Hakim, 53 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.839 how are you doing on mute? Say hi? Tell us what's going on? 54 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:32.879 Hill? Very much? So? My name is that I lead the 55 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:40.879 team at legos Innovates. That's the division of Elositive that caters for the ecosystem 56 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:45.480 founders. You don't We have an occupation program for founders fascinated, access to 57 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:49.560 finance for people to take the trainings. We also provide access to finance for 58 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:54.480 Helpe Withers, a course lagals, and then we also provide what we call 59 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:59.120 vouchers for founders to be able to make use of work spaces, a course 60 00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:05.959 lakers and I'm quite glad to be here. Let's see how the cow so 61 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:11.360 I hope I don't have to see. How can you're a guide to know 62 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:15.079 you give vouchers to fathers to use spaces. I also give loans. You're 63 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.279 a guy to know. I'm going to save your information. I need you 64 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:27.439 interesting. The government is getting good good vibes, good vibes to excellent excellent. 65 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.079 Let le let I come out in here, come out, go ahead 66 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:35.600 and say hi, and I'll get going. Hi everyone even thank you for 67 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:41.480 having me. UM. So my name is come out in some other um 68 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:47.439 A product manager effects UM currently spiriting me very wonderful data and business intelligence in 69 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:56.399 here effects creasing wonderful solutions at any point if my network feels that's an example 70 00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:01.399 of innovation user starting and once this club it's terrible, Wow, wow, 71 00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.839 wow interesting. Right, we're are you in the topic? Right? So 72 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:08.439 guys, how I'm going to do it right? I have a few questions. 73 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.160 Now some guys are send me dms and I have my own questions. 74 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.319 So when I ask the question, whoever wants to take it? If film 75 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:15.759 to take it, that is just fantastic. We want to learn. I 76 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.399 want to learn about this topic, why it's innovation feeling, and how we 77 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:23.199 can learn from it. Right, So my first question like how do we 78 00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:27.839 really define this innovation? Like what is the benefit challenge of innovation? Not 79 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.439 answering? For me in the finance space, I always go with productivity. 80 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:35.480 If I see a company that is productive, I eat, doing more with 81 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:41.439 less, I buy their shares. Right so, Tesla, Microsoft, you 82 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.920 know all the companies you see how there that are doing pretty well? They 83 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:49.279 are productivity generating enterprises. I eat every day to do more with less. 84 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:54.560 So in terms of agriculture, how do we define innovation? What are the 85 00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:59.759 benefits? What are the challenges of being innovative into this world? All of 86 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:00.959 you? I wanted to get like an answer from all of you how you 87 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.160 define innovation and want the benefits and challenge from me? All of you. 88 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:16.160 Let's go ahead before me. All right, come out, he come out. 89 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:20.120 You're being nominated. But you know they always say that quote unquote. 90 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:28.240 You know, I don't see ladies first, but hey, gotcha, come 91 00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:31.439 out, go ahead, go ahead, all right. Um. So I 92 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:36.399 typically like to so from a general perspective, I'd like to see innovation as 93 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:42.079 a way of creating new ideas, a produl to a process, or just 94 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.560 finding a new approach to solve a big problem, and then that big program 95 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:54.360 that's little approach becoming having significant improvement to that process. Um. And generally 96 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:59.160 you tend to see that some innovations have some drama, some dramatic flare around 97 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:05.120 them, and mostly um, you'll see that innovations just help us do things 98 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.759 easier, faster, and sometimes consider things from a much different perspective. So 99 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:16.079 sometimes it's not that an innovation is technically solving a problem. It's actually even 100 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.720 highlighting that there was even a problem to begin with. That I like that. 101 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:26.160 Yeah, yeah, so UM. One of the main importances of innovation, 102 00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.879 I would say, is the fact that it drives humanities progress and improves 103 00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:39.240 our improves our chances of survivability. He also helps us with economic growth and 104 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:45.440 society development. And then when you bring it down to the agricultural view, 105 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.240 um, some of the challenges that you tend to see. Um, and 106 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.480 it looks like the cloud cover has got come out, starling, cloud cover 107 00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:00.360 got come out, hacking. I like the partisan about it. Let us 108 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.200 know that's a problem. I e wo come out, that's not it's a 109 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.919 problem and it makes us you know, suberbability and all that. You are 110 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.360 in that space where you are linking entrepreneurs with facilities and the government, do 111 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.879 you have a take on what innovation is and the benefits and if you could 112 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:28.840 look alized to me for saying the Nigeria state, I would love that hacking 113 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:33.279 come out looks like you're back. You've got the crow cloud cover art. 114 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.559 Yeah. I was actually I kept talking and I didn't realize I was with 115 00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:43.279 I wasn't being heard. Yeah, but yeah, So I was trying to 116 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:48.159 bring it down to the agricultural perspective of things. Um So, some of 117 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:56.440 the challenges that faces agriculture around funding and limited research. So even if people 118 00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:03.639 do their research when they find that innovation, sometimes finding that market fits is 119 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:09.360 usually a problem. So you might find something that there is a potential solution 120 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.039 or is it a proper solution for the market you are bringing it into Who's 121 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.759 going to use this? Who's going to use this solution? Have you considered 122 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:24.200 cultural perspectives, people's aversion to risk, especially in agriculture, which has which 123 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:30.000 is high risk high reward at the same time, so people farmers generally have 124 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:35.159 a high risk aversion. Um So you need to be able to put all 125 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:41.600 these factors into play when you are introducing an innovation and also test your hypothesis 126 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.080 on a smaller scale before. Um I would say putting all your eggs in 127 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.759 one baskets come out. Do you have that? Do you have a local 128 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.799 example you could share that maybe highlight what're talked about from us, the abbasion 129 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:54.960 to risk and all that. Do you have an example you can share? 130 00:10:54.000 --> 00:11:00.279 We can put a clause on just to understand what you're saying. Um okay, 131 00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:05.480 So I would use one example of how Pharaoh forty four, which is 132 00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:11.240 one um species of rice that is being grown in Nigeria now came to be. 133 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.360 I just know parts of the story, so I'll put I'll just put 134 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:24.360 it together, okay. Um, So before now, come only if you 135 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:26.080 can hear me. If you've gone up and I really want to hear this 136 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.879 story about rice. So I'm gonna give you a few sex Maybe the clouds 137 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.720 should go over and eat. Yeah, come out. You went up, 138 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:35.399 so you were talking about rice. You just kind of just as you started 139 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.639 say if you can starting on the story of rice, have you got just 140 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.360 go ahead? So okay, okay, yeah, it's it's this better now? 141 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:46.120 Yes, well okay, fantastic. So I was saying, I was 142 00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:50.799 given an example of Pharao forty four's introduction into the Nigeria and space before then 143 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.799 in northern Nigeria, where you have people growing was usually this species of rice 144 00:11:54.879 --> 00:12:01.559 called Jemila, and that was the most popular of our species of rice that 145 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.000 we're growing, and it was working for us. But when farrough forty four 146 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:11.120 came, it was a new species that most farmers had not grown before. 147 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:16.200 And then they promise to them was that you'll be able to get sixty bags. 148 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.679 How many bags do you get to there? And they tail you're thirty 149 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.240 and then you promise them things like you're going to be able to get sixty 150 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.639 birds, and nobody believes you because how can I be grow growing the same 151 00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.480 particular I'm growing another grain a different grain of rice, whim getting more two 152 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.919 times the number of bags yes to get before. So this one is actually 153 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:39.480 a success story. But what I want to paint out is how the people 154 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:46.799 who brought this innovation went about implementing it to make sure that it was a 155 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:52.799 success. So what they did was explain the science to the farmers, which 156 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.559 they may not necessarily understand complete people. At least we are putting a story 157 00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:03.360 and we are giving them an impact, sort of driving the innovation with the 158 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:09.200 eventual result that you want to get, not being so absorbed by how fantastic 159 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.759 your solution is. So it's also started with a pilot test and the first 160 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.639 few farmers got even ninety birds more three times two times more than they even 161 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.759 expected, three times what more than what they we're getting before. So this 162 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:28.759 was something very um fantastic for them and today. So it was also getting 163 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.840 the buying of farmers and processes, because it's not enough that you are tripling 164 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:37.519 the yield of farmers, but then who is going to take off what they've 165 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.679 eventually planted. So it was also getting the process as to say, we 166 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:45.279 have this new species of rice, how is it going to play out in 167 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:52.440 your processing? Um? Interesting? Come out? So there's paroh forty four 168 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.200 on you. I was going to ask you and come out is this parow 169 00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:00.799 forty four? Is it important? What the back resident might amaidals or what 170 00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.360 is it? And if you can answer that about I think clouds copies over 171 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:07.000 your starling. Um. So, so I'm not expert on it, Okay, 172 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:11.759 I know that it's um it's a different variety of Sydney. I guess 173 00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:15.879 that nia that works to me. That works to me completely. It's very 174 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.639 interesting to hear the you know, the backstories to do what we'll see as 175 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.080 Rice seed. You know, to me, rice is right, But I 176 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.000 tell me how there's Jamila and there's a parer forty four. You know, 177 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:26.759 still for me, Rice is right. So it's very interesting to hear you 178 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.279 guys talk about the backside of it. Right, So Hakim is back um 179 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.799 hawking. What's your take? I'd asked you earlier, what's your take on 180 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.639 innovation? Having defined because you interplay on the quote unquote streets, you are 181 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.639 linking these guys that needs something to the guys that have something. So what's 182 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:50.679 your take on innovation? Okay, thank your apologies. I think the system 183 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:58.679 took off so from innovation from my angle world be it's sam people doing things 184 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:07.919 better and lending the start of school, redefining processes and outcomes. That for 185 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.240 me is innovation. So and I would give examples before. Now, if 186 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:15.679 anybody wanted to go to the parts and you wanted to take a cab, 187 00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.440 the article frot of your house, pet your hands and wave and then one 188 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:22.480 year O black taxi would come. If it was raining, you have to 189 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:26.159 look for a share to stay under and the light. Now, how do 190 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:31.440 we ensure that people can get that cab to reach their houses in front of 191 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:33.240 their kids. They don't have to wave their hands. People don't even know. 192 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.559 People don't even have to know that it was able the cab and overcame 193 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.240 it and then we could eventually and now we're enjoying that part that we could 194 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:45.679 get a cab by the press, by the by the click of reporting, 195 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.000 and they will drive train into our house and they will predicate analytical wish for 196 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:56.399 you. That is improving process and improving outcomes. So innovation is basically doing 197 00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:00.679 things better, either in terms of how it is done or in terms of 198 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:07.320 what comes out of it, and there are barriers angles to it. Innovation 199 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:12.879 doesn't have to be backed by technology. Innovation sometimes can just have to do 200 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:19.480 with modu college um redefining what you call process. So like other colleges, 201 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.679 most of the time we talk about innovation back by apology, but knowing that 202 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:30.200 I can, knowing that I can moducal reach out to for people. If 203 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.799 I use a megaphone as opposed to shout, it's a home of innovation. 204 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.559 If I was going to use my voice to poor be able to hear me, 205 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:41.200 now I have a megaphone, I can talk to one hundred people at 206 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.559 the same time that is en showing that I'm reaching to other people with less 207 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.519 amounts of nagy that are even are used to people and dependent fits of this 208 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:55.000 is one companies have what we call competitive advantage. It then means that with 209 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.919 the same amount of impute and resources that that everybody is given, assuming we 210 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:03.000 are given the same, you can produce more. You can you can reach 211 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:06.559 more customers, you can make more profits. Also, it's also in the 212 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:11.759 sense of efficiency and productivity. It means that with the same amounts of staff, 213 00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.200 for example, with the same amount of it awards you have to work 214 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:18.759 per day, you can you can save more people within the same time and 215 00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.640 they also then least the economic group because we are then doing more with less. 216 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:27.079 So also coming from the government and goal is the fact that as we 217 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:33.160 as a people and and and and as also an economy, that there needs 218 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:36.920 to be that constant striving to questions for those schools to be able to do 219 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:44.240 things better and magazineize existing resources, magazineise moducality, find a dependents. What 220 00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:47.720 they say that all these cars, but despite that's scarcity, how do we 221 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:51.720 do more with less? How do we leverage technology? How do we leverage 222 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:55.039 tools? At Abe and Cultu you to do more. So in my angle 223 00:17:55.119 --> 00:18:00.359 to summarize is basically doing more with less with refining processes and also providing better 224 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:06.920 outcomes. Gotcha, let me ask you again with examples. You are on 225 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:08.799 that on the market on the field, right, what's going to be a 226 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:14.960 good example of a well introduced innovative product that caught on? Would say the 227 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.559 off takers? And what's going to be in your hunian an example of should 228 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:21.880 we say a bad innovation that did not catch on? Could you give us 229 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:23.640 an example of maybe a best case, either on the good or the bad 230 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:29.920 side, that the audience could learn from. Okay, so from the good 231 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.920 side would be typically what everybody at adult to at some points, which is 232 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:40.720 where we all thought that in the mimum amounts of seconds you must use when 233 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:44.200 you want to make a phone fall has to be sixty seconds. Yeah, 234 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:48.079 I'm empty and and fair sailer at that time, and medals field that you 235 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:52.519 would even if it's people ten seconds, you have to pay for one minute. 236 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.519 And Glue came in and then said, look, you clearly can pay 237 00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.799 per second, and it changed the face of the buckets and even everything and 238 00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:04.720 set that we did look actually do perssee company then so they be persee company. 239 00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:11.559 That is that is solving a problem using modical technology, are using existing 240 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:15.480 resources, which was something that really really changed the face of the market now 241 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:18.920 before the if you cause some one one minutes one second in for two minutes 242 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:23.319 and persic colled collars nine seconds example, but that is how for me. 243 00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:30.799 That is one perfect example of innovation that plastically changed the markets of telecommunications in 244 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:38.240 modicalities in Nigeria. An example of an example of a mogicality of a of 245 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:42.640 a part case would be clearly to it a saying we should pay for whatdical 246 00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:48.559 we should pay for our our blueting in an example where if anybody has a 247 00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:52.640 blueting pas clearly has ended person. There is some identity behind that beauty, 248 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:56.359 there is some verification that has gone behind that putting on an elevation, say 249 00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:02.599 no anybody to judge buy it and then any any amoutin for example about innovation, 250 00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:07.559 which which interesting perspective, I like that interesting at like that, Like 251 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.920 you said, the globe and the emptym thing clear example that if you do 252 00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:17.839 innovation, it not just affects how we use products, but it also defines 253 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:22.160 market share, profitability and needs affects everyone. So I like an example you 254 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:25.279 give, let me come to Adana right. And then in the context of 255 00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:30.519 the code crash Crop four points, You're right, what themes like as all 256 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:36.240 specific steps can SHAVEOL does take to align their innovations with market demands. So 257 00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:41.720 essentially, like if I'm a contestant in the code cash Crop and I hear 258 00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:45.119 her Kim and come out and talk about high innovation that's got to be scalable, 259 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.599 has got to be you know, user friendly. What can I do 260 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:53.480 right to align my innovation and on the present so that the market basically adopted 261 00:20:53.680 --> 00:21:00.640 if I way put that in different way, okay, UM, and I 262 00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:06.599 would answer your question using you know, some of the solutions that will be 263 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:11.839 for UM in terms of the art accasoms that we've just finished. And I 264 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:18.920 think that the best way would be assised from you know, making sure that 265 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:27.160 whatever innovation that you've brought UM actually solved the problem. UM. It's also 266 00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:34.640 that how how much research has gone into the solution or innovation that you have 267 00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:44.039 come up with UM. And sometimes we find that some innovations are not it's 268 00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:49.480 not market face because enough research has not gone into into it. So your 269 00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:56.720 ideas can be amazing, but because but because you have not done enough research 270 00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:03.480 to then adapt that innovation into the current situation on ground, then it's not 271 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:10.240 adaptable. It's not even going to keep the ground running. It's not then 272 00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:15.519 talk about healing. And I think that it's very important to that A lot 273 00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:23.559 of thoughts goes into research and making sure that Okay, I have this innovative 274 00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:27.319 idea, but I didn't have to then put putting a lot of work in 275 00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:34.319 the research side of things to then ensure that I fit my idea appropriately into 276 00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:40.400 the problem that he wants to solve. Then he can, you know, 277 00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:45.079 start up and then start building and trying to scale. So I would definitely 278 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:51.599 say research. That's an interesting point. So essence, you're saying, it's 279 00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:56.359 not how good per se, it's not how innovative or fancy the solution is, 280 00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:59.480 but it's got to speak to the user. So look at come out 281 00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:02.799 and struggle now with Starling. Starling is a wonderful product. He can get 282 00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:07.200 internet in his village, but cloud cover in the tropics is going to be 283 00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:11.599 So is that that's what I hear you saying? Yes, yes, So 284 00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.160 do the market research, you know what the people need. But if I 285 00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.240 was to give you Devil's advocates, I would say, people don't know what 286 00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:22.279 they want. And sometimes when you bring out innovation, then people say, 287 00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:27.680 I think I like this. Yeah, there's definitely that that part of it, 288 00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:32.839 right for even in the in the in the angle of people don't not 289 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:37.319 knowing what they want, is that the people even ready to receive it. 290 00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:45.480 So I'm going before we launched m commic, we had tried commics in two 291 00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:51.960 and see sixteen, I believe, and it feels because the market wasn't ready. 292 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:53.480 It was such an innovative idea. We know that we knew that the 293 00:23:53.640 --> 00:24:00.240 people wouldn't want it, right, But it's like you also have to check 294 00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:03.960 what the market readiness to receive for them to ever embrace the idea that this 295 00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:11.400 would be good for me. I agree. I will take that you want 296 00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:21.880 to add anything to this with um card everyone, So I would just want 297 00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:27.519 to follow as w Donna has said, just build onto it too. Um. 298 00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:34.920 Part of what Colled cash Crop is doing is presenting people with an actual 299 00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.279 problem. I'm saying, we have learned the research, these are actual problems 300 00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:42.680 in this space. UM, so come up with or use other euvations and 301 00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:48.559 sort of tailor them to some of these problems. Um find the cultural faiths 302 00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:53.839 um to test your hypothesis and see how far you can push it. Yeah, 303 00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:56.519 that's what I wanted to add. Okay, thing I have you here 304 00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:00.799 we're talking about called crash crop. Talk to me about if I'm a guy, 305 00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:03.440 just walk into this space. I've never heard about colde cash crop. 306 00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.799 What is it right? What are the insight I'm expecting? What do you 307 00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:14.359 guys do in code crash club? How does it tie into this innovation agriculture 308 00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:18.240 of fintech. Just talk broadly to me about what you got to not achieve 309 00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:22.960 with cold cash crop. Okay, so I'll start an introduction and let Ada 310 00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:29.160 give a full product view. Basically, colde cash croup is it is a 311 00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:33.079 competition. It's an innovative challenge that is sort of binding agriculture of finance and 312 00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:38.920 technology because in the act space today, it's not enough that you solve one 313 00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:42.839 part of the problem. You have to be very holistic in whatever solution you're 314 00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:48.680 bringing into the market. It has to combine old something that it has combined 315 00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.119 something that solves for the farmer directly or it has to also be something scary, 316 00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.759 which is what technology gives you. And then you need financing, So 317 00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:59.480 how are you going to how are you going to get funding or how are 318 00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:03.720 you going to use the pointing that you get to push the solution down the 319 00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:07.559 pipeline. So I don't know, you want to speak more on how people 320 00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:11.680 can get to coltash crop and then eventual results that we go to get from 321 00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:18.799 the competition. Thank you, um and just to build on worterm out as 322 00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:25.200 the coltsh Crop at the core with is to bring you know, people within 323 00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:30.920 the finance and technology sector together to have conversations and over the years what we've 324 00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:37.240 done with cold cash crop is to align the different our teams based on where 325 00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:44.920 we are at a effect but also where we are looking to see the industry 326 00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:48.759 goal in future in the future, and so were to this year we thought 327 00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:55.440 about innovation as the as the key thing to this cause. But innovation in 328 00:26:55.519 --> 00:27:00.799 the tent that you know they're already existing innovations happening, but it's to then 329 00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:07.160 say how do we then create or student innovations existing to then um scale pan 330 00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:12.799 African wise in such a way that you know the solutions are then adaptable in 331 00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:23.640 various um African countries. Um cottash Crop also tries to vield community community in 332 00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:29.440 the sense of M. We are trying to view the community of young people 333 00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:34.200 who are who are building this space, who are doing amazing things, creasing 334 00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:41.720 solutions, you know, basic solutions and trying to heal their heal those solutions. 335 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.279 UM what CARN trying to create a community of innovation or small life UM 336 00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:52.119 to say that you have the solution bringing it lest or denseee, how we 337 00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:57.160 can then help you skin it M. I mean aside from financial ways, 338 00:27:57.400 --> 00:28:06.559 but also in terms of human resources in insane how do we then create space 339 00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:11.279 for you for other people to see these innovations that you have and also buy 340 00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:15.960 into it. And that's really what we're looking to do with cold cash Crop. 341 00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:19.279 You know, aside from the halfatterns, it's also the conversations that we're 342 00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:26.839 putting together to have different conversations around innovations. Why innovations fail MOS are the 343 00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:33.960 fundamentals that keep and innovational innovative idea running? How do you then align these 344 00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:41.480 innovations to fit what people while you're trying to grow the community aspects of things 345 00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:45.359 of your innovations, But then how do you then align you to making profits, 346 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:52.920 making sure that it's planet friendly. Just trying to have conversations around the 347 00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:59.880 different aspects of innovations is really what we're trying to achieve with colde Cash Crop 348 00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.559 this year. So so more or less, if I have an idea, 349 00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:07.240 I can come and pitch and my idea, yeah, has got to be 350 00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:12.960 around that a great fintech space. And if I pass, I get a 351 00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:17.960 cash gift. What what I wan? Yeah, you get a cash gift. 352 00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:22.599 But that's just again like one part of this because obviously everyone, every 353 00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:30.880 innovative idea needs financing and money. But aside from it is to then obviously 354 00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:37.000 with the help of organizations like LSCF, to then open doors to this innovators 355 00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:41.880 to say, hey, we're trying to also bring people within each of these 356 00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:48.559 place in one place and to hear them pitch some of these ideas and want 357 00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:55.480 to buy into it. Right, So aside from um making sure that we 358 00:29:55.640 --> 00:30:00.640 pick innovative solutions is to then be very intentional about this kind of people that 359 00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:06.599 were bringing into the room to hear them actually teach their ideas, to have 360 00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:08.839 them be able to work up to these people so to be able to work 361 00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:11.839 up to like it had been at the event and say, hey, I 362 00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:15.279 have this idea, I've been working on it, this is where I'm at, 363 00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:19.480 and then having it had been being interested in it and said okay, 364 00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:26.440 let's see how we can help you with the resources that they have available to 365 00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:33.440 scale this idea of But it's also like one path of cold cash crop a 366 00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:37.160 franchirom the conversations that we've done to have Okay, so I had to just 367 00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:45.000 say to say profitability when you are looking at at at projects presenter to you, 368 00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:52.519 is profitability or should we say social good? How do you wait that? 369 00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:56.400 If I have a proposal that says cassover can last longer for say two 370 00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:00.680 weeks in the villages in the southeast, that's a they very social thing. 371 00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.759 It might not make a lot of money. Well that way over someone that 372 00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:08.079 says, listen, I have a proposal that can make engineer that can we 373 00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:11.880 use should we say vegetable oil? It will give me ten percent more. 374 00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:15.440 How do you guys weigh as a judges, how do you wait proposals in 375 00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:19.839 terms of profitability and social good? Or is there even a distinction even have 376 00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:27.720 to speak. So far is at the core of this is how innovative is 377 00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:33.839 this idea that you've had you have social good? Right? And then we 378 00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:37.880 look through a lot of solutions to say, okay, does this look good? 379 00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:44.079 Do we think that if what if we work with this person or an 380 00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:49.000 ide it more and try to expand their cope even more, will eventually become 381 00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:53.279 profit table. So really at the core of this is how is your solution 382 00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:59.039 or innovative idea going to help in the long run? Right? And then 383 00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:05.079 we bring you, we bring your ideas in um, we have a team 384 00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:10.319 of people within effects and even on outside of effect that who then work with 385 00:32:10.599 --> 00:32:14.759 you on that idea and say, okay, this is your idea, have 386 00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:17.920 more conversations with you, kind of expand it even more. At that movie 387 00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:22.640 did with the Boots camp kind of have conversations with them, expand it even 388 00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:27.880 more. Has their mentors talk to them um and say, okay, I 389 00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:30.559 mean you should tweak this twig that because if you do it this way it 390 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:35.000 would end up not being profitable, or if you do it this way it 391 00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:38.400 would then be profitable. So at the at the core of it really is 392 00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:45.000 the social good. How is this going to eventually be beneficial to the people 393 00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:49.400 who you're using it for. But at the end of the day, when 394 00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:52.920 we are done helping you tweak expanding your scope, how how will you then 395 00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:58.480 make money for you? And on our idea got you? Let me ask 396 00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:01.400 you real quick right in terms of how you relate. When you did your 397 00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:06.359 intro, we heard you talk about how you give vouts, how you are 398 00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:09.720 helping founders linked to you know, developers. How does this play this, 399 00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:14.960 this code has a play to what you do. Is it helpful? Do 400 00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:19.359 you want to see more of this? Is this model iea of an organization 401 00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:24.880 bringing in the youth to coming and create solutions? Is this helpful? Is 402 00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:30.319 this the way to go? What's your take on all this? Okay, 403 00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:37.000 thank you very much, I personally and also from the from the shows point 404 00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:39.400 of very thing that this is the way to go. And I think in 405 00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:45.000 the in the tech ecosystem and in the renovation space, this is a model 406 00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:52.680 the PPP with in this area. And I say that because while we support 407 00:33:52.519 --> 00:34:00.960 innovatively drinking and technologically drinking enterprises, colde cash Crub helps to find those people 408 00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:05.880 out. So you can imagine if we had to then do all of these 409 00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:09.840 ourselves and then we don't have to find them soupported incumpeating them and giving them 410 00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:14.519 facts. It's clearly a lot of work. So depression is how do we 411 00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:17.760 find them, how we work with people who are also interested in what we're 412 00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:21.800 interested in. How did you look? How we pack on with people who 413 00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:27.639 want to support young Nigerians, young Africans who are who are looking at using 414 00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:31.920 innovation to revolutionalize agricultural sector. And I think that others on other states of 415 00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:38.559 that other guntions should look in in this line because one, it helps to 416 00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:45.960 combat the incidents of prevalent of utal employment right because we're basically taking young people 417 00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:51.039 with ideas out and helping them to find any ideas and making those ideas into 418 00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:55.239 profitable enterprises. And if those enterprises become comfortable wanting is sure they're going to 419 00:34:55.320 --> 00:35:00.719 have to expand and pay employee three four people is more p our country of 420 00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:06.719 medical unemployed PE two is it's this is also an avenue to improve our productivity 421 00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:10.239 and efficiency as innisition because we cannot keep doing things in the nineteen seven the 422 00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:15.119 unineteen taxis wek and expect to three two hundred million nargenients. We need to 423 00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:20.159 be able to moggal and we need to be innovative in from even decided what's 424 00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:22.239 it to plant to went to plant it, to the kind of sol to 425 00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:25.960 planett to the kind of fatalizers to use so that we can improve you, 426 00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:30.840 but while also ensuring that we do not go against modugal it heathics and also 427 00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:38.400 than Tardian the sense that it also helps to du call it to um to 428 00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:44.760 put governments in that space of innovation, because it then tells the whole world 429 00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:47.079 that as opposed to what we know, that government is usually against it. 430 00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:51.440 This is basically telling the whole world. And I'm happy to say that government 431 00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:53.440 is in some parts of the innovation. And we are not those waiting for 432 00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:59.440 those for innovation to have viewed fruits before the finalities we are. We are 433 00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:02.000 saying we will start treating from the text school who would help you find them. 434 00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:05.679 We will support people that are looking for them, who will support them 435 00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:09.119 with incubation where the adoort will support them with having access to work space vouchers 436 00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:13.559 so that they can continue being It helps us to be at the forefront of 437 00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:16.400 innovation. It helps us to ensure that when policies are being designed, we 438 00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:21.920 are also aware of what the ecosystem is doing and how to do policies to 439 00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:25.360 support the groups and me lot, thus doing one of us enacting policy of 440 00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:30.880 earning policies without antiquate understanding and knowledge. So I think this is a perfect 441 00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:36.639 example of the PPP that is improving innovation and luckily for us, is happening 442 00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:39.320 that the culture space, because it is anything that we need to accomplish as 443 00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:44.719 a nation, is being able to be sustainable in terms of how we feed 444 00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:49.079 ourselves and also bring away from that to also export and and seeing other countries 445 00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:52.239 and are nue for us to end for it if we can export as much 446 00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:54.199 as we shoose. So for us, it's it's a w will on a 447 00:36:54.280 --> 00:36:58.400 lot of the angles. And we are quite glad that we are doing this 448 00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:02.159 with all of Africa's finance, modical and cultural governs, effects and defending. 449 00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:06.800 And this is an open came to people who really are interested innovation. I 450 00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:09.679 want to I want to support them as they are possible. Those are any 451 00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:14.960 day anything excellent. So UM, I don't I don't know if you can 452 00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:19.199 answer that. I'm basically looking up looking at the twitter feed for Effects up 453 00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:23.000 and plaining rights last week affects right, and I'm looking at the finalist, 454 00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:28.440 right, the guys that were selected out of the over Let me see how 455 00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:31.719 many guys were here. You guys have this finalist out of Underland thirty entries, 456 00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:37.920 you got twenty five semifinalists. Now six finalists are going to represent. 457 00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:43.440 You will represent to go to the outside the finals. Right for tech finance 458 00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:46.320 and a Greek Can you talk about one of these guys? What did they 459 00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:51.480 present or to what did they present, why was it unique? And how 460 00:37:51.639 --> 00:37:55.960 you think that solution that they presented is going to basically lead to productivity gains 461 00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:00.320 and even skin agriculture, just one or two. I see them very some 462 00:38:00.519 --> 00:38:07.599 very nice ideas and all that. Yeah, I think it was an interesting 463 00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:12.320 process and I'm happy to come out here because come out really helped us in, 464 00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:20.159 you know, picking out some of these solutions. So when we started 465 00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:24.719 where we were deciding how to go about the half the agg halfato on post 466 00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:30.199 things, I think the first thing that we did was to then start for 467 00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:35.639 challenges. So we reached out to a couple of other people within the AG 468 00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:39.480 sectors to think, what are the issues that you're facing. And then it 469 00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:47.000 was curated around three key challenges which were of course data some of them didn't 470 00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:55.840 have UM access to data that they needed of course logistics and then extensions UM 471 00:38:55.920 --> 00:39:00.280 and so that was how we curated this says challenge es and then we then 472 00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:06.679 opened the top and we had people standing solutions. You know, it's it's 473 00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:14.960 very innovative solutions to add UM soviets each of these challenges that we put up 474 00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:22.039 and we kind of had like very key UM metrics, So it was how 475 00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:28.760 innovative as the solution, How adaptable will they be on the field, on 476 00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:32.400 the actual fields when it's when he's taken to the field, how adaptable will 477 00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:37.840 be UM. The other thing that we then looked at is in the long 478 00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:43.840 run, how profitable most the E won't be? And then finally was then 479 00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:52.519 UM what as the sex M solution? Back in this UM we we had 480 00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:58.800 very interesting entries. Both some of the entries that eventually made it to the 481 00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:05.239 finals. Which made it which were very exciting for me was especially the data 482 00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:14.079 we had people ideas give us very innovative solutions around data and evolved down to 483 00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:21.239 have been thinking of the final user UM at the forefront of this. I 484 00:40:21.320 --> 00:40:25.760 think one of the data solutions that made it to the finalists was very specific 485 00:40:25.920 --> 00:40:30.559 as to, you know, thinking about the farmer who doesn't have a phone, 486 00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:37.360 but it's a price data, how do they then get this? And 487 00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:45.320 the guy went as far as USC code pick the language that you that you 488 00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:50.119 speak, So if you're outs that you want to pick out that the data 489 00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:55.360 comes to you in that language. If you're if you're Euroba, if wants 490 00:40:55.400 --> 00:41:00.960 you pick Euroba on the USC the data cons to you in that language. 491 00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:04.639 And for me it was very interesting that and that was the reason why I 492 00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:08.840 talked about research when I asked me an earlier question to say that this person 493 00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:14.760 has really thought about the end user, who is the farmer, right, 494 00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:16.559 I think one of the end users, right, who is the farmer, 495 00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:22.800 but also thought about me, me who could not also be in the office 496 00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:28.119 and also need access to this price data. So while he's catriing to the 497 00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:34.039 farmer using USS code, catriing to me using like a mobile app or a 498 00:41:34.159 --> 00:41:37.800 web version of the app. And so for me it was I don't I 499 00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:43.239 just really enjoyed the fact that some of them, or rather the finalists, 500 00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:47.639 really really thought about the end users, the various end users, and just 501 00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:53.519 how these solutions will then be at that table to them. I think that 502 00:41:53.719 --> 00:41:58.480 was really what was exciting for me and I'm looking forward to seeing them pitch 503 00:41:59.199 --> 00:42:04.440 life or at a graphin so yeah, yeah, so how can which which 504 00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:07.239 which are a contestant cult your eye? In terms of the solution, I 505 00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:09.360 just talked about the U S s D. There are four of them. 506 00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:12.679 I would have not to see one, two, three for this guy did 507 00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:17.199 this which I want to cut your eye? Interestingly, I think I don't 508 00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:22.800 not have the same choice. Interesting interesting, So I think I think, 509 00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:24.519 I think, I think if you're putting one on any point, I think 510 00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:29.440 my money is on the g I hope not out or not till till the 511 00:42:29.480 --> 00:42:31.960 scale when you guys have your finals on August of twelve or no no no, 512 00:42:32.119 --> 00:42:38.440 no activity is key. This is my pastal opinions to go ahead. 513 00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:46.639 We also have solutions from my Robie and the Robe Solutions Fire to be and 514 00:42:46.800 --> 00:42:52.679 I'm really excited. There's a guy called Silo Africa. I'm really excited to 515 00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:57.760 have him come come to Nigeria and peach. So our judges are going to 516 00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:02.119 be a mix of Nigeria and UM and then Kenyans as well, because again 517 00:43:02.559 --> 00:43:07.960 it's how do we then at that solution that would kill Pan African UH, 518 00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:13.679 Pan African UM. And so the Kenyan guys are really commune with fire and 519 00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:19.639 I'm I'm really really excited to see what how So Kenyan people are coming to 520 00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:22.760 Nigeria and you want them to win and take ten to the dollars to Kenya, 521 00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:32.679 I hope. I mean the goal is is innovative solutions that would skill 522 00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:38.679 detectors Pan African. So if if it's if it's a Kenya and great, 523 00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:44.079 If if it's a Nigerian, amazing. I mean I'm dusting because the Kenyans 524 00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:46.960 are on their a game. Those guys are very good, so the Nigerian 525 00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:51.199 guys should not assume that they are. You know, those guys are gonna 526 00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:58.719 come with real, real social The agricultural sector in Kenya scope depth in any 527 00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:04.760 way out classes one Nigeria has in terms of daily This guy's export flowers. 528 00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:08.079 You go to Kenny, I think by two am they bring the flower boards, 529 00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:12.480 they're wrapping them by two am. He goes on the plane and it 530 00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:15.880 flies from Ka to the Amsterdam. So when it learns in Amsterdam. The 531 00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:21.840 board the flower boards are opening up and then people in Amsterdam buy them as 532 00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:25.679 they're going to go to work. This is like you need organization to get 533 00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:31.559 these flowers on the plane take off and larning Amsterdam. Yeah, so let's 534 00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:36.880 not say, Kate, we're looking at King Walk and those guys are they're 535 00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:38.599 not no jokes, So I'm not saying this point and young guys come with 536 00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:42.320 you, come with your A game or I don't want to hear a story 537 00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:46.039 that this is what happened. Now what happened? I mean, why are 538 00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:50.280 you precting them to come with your A game? All six of them? 539 00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:54.159 Okay? D And if I agreed, this guy has solution, mcche he's 540 00:44:54.199 --> 00:45:01.079 saying, this is um Michael. He same solution was to allow farmers use 541 00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:07.920 AI to answer questions concerning how how they can what time to grow at the 542 00:45:08.039 --> 00:45:14.320 right price. That's what he presented this Michael. Guy here ivender one here 543 00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:19.400 adduct really true seeing what they did and why are you guys yeah picked up? 544 00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:24.360 Yeah, so quite quite interesting. This guy here he did this school 545 00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:29.360 Lima. This is this is mister Agibadi. This is this is the guy 546 00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:31.599 you talk about the university of your assesses, the addresses secrets can need for 547 00:45:31.880 --> 00:45:37.920 accessible and localized guidance, particularly with takes away the language barrier. So essentially 548 00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:42.760 he saw that language barrier around and we don't as a big deal. In 549 00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:46.320 my village, people speak a different language than people in Sekno. So if 550 00:45:46.360 --> 00:45:50.360 we could all go on on an app and we could all speak the same 551 00:45:50.440 --> 00:45:53.719 language in this guy's solution, that would add a lot of depth to it. 552 00:45:54.039 --> 00:45:58.440 Letb yeah, go ahead, go ahead. And I was going to 553 00:45:58.559 --> 00:46:02.599 add that all six of these guys of this final is already have like prototypes. 554 00:46:02.679 --> 00:46:07.079 Some of them already have like existing businesses, and some of them are 555 00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:13.000 like they're already in like why our frame prototype, ready to go to markets 556 00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:17.960 with their solutions. I think the UM, the the the AI guy that 557 00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:22.400 you mentioned, he already has like an existent solution. He's already pushed into 558 00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:28.519 the market and then trying to integrate AI right now into it. And so 559 00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:32.320 it's really exciting. And which is for roses at the core of cold cash 560 00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:37.000 crop, because we believe, like the sky is wide enough, right and 561 00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:43.360 we want other people in the market, and we want young people, um 562 00:46:43.800 --> 00:46:50.920 young less like you led solutions because we're really the future right now and we're 563 00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:54.599 just thinking of how do we then empower these guys to you know, do 564 00:46:55.000 --> 00:47:00.920 even more amazing things come out? Was your what did you like in the 565 00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:07.119 presentations? Yes, forgot her seem to go who who even if it didn't 566 00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:10.400 win, peoven if it didn't win, like what solution did you cut your 567 00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:20.119 eye? Um? So I like the uss D for extension. Um yeah, 568 00:47:20.199 --> 00:47:24.000 it's so it's not going to be a biased judgment. But I like 569 00:47:24.159 --> 00:47:29.840 it because of the inclusivity. So it's not just um saying I want to 570 00:47:29.960 --> 00:47:34.119 deploy uss D because farmers have feature funds. But this guy has taught to 571 00:47:34.199 --> 00:47:37.800 the extent that. Um, I want to be able to accommodate several different 572 00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:44.360 cultures, several differents levels of understanding, which is why you have the different 573 00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:47.719 languages and then you not also have a web platform. UM So, I 574 00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:52.840 like it because it's quite inclusive and it's very simple to innovations don't have to 575 00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:59.360 be too complex. The more dissimilarities, the better. Gotcha, gotcha, 576 00:47:59.480 --> 00:48:07.440 I got that super So let's go more in Okay there, all right, 577 00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:10.519 okay, gotcha? So guys, so we now have the finalist on the 578 00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:14.400 twelve. It's going to be held in Nigeria. What's gonna happen when we 579 00:48:14.440 --> 00:48:16.079 get there? What's gonna happen? And again, if you guys want to 580 00:48:16.480 --> 00:48:21.159 asking to the cold to be effects folks, if you do have a DM, 581 00:48:21.239 --> 00:48:22.800 I want to ask them a question. Please build free and I'll add 582 00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:27.239 you. I just want to give them time to talk about innovation and all 583 00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:30.480 that. Let me share my own innovation innovative story, right, and I 584 00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:35.280 think maybe that would help a bit. Right. I would like to see 585 00:48:35.400 --> 00:48:40.000 innovation into how we can for the farmers in Nigeria, how we can mechanize 586 00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:45.360 them to get them to use even if it's I don't know the word now, 587 00:48:46.960 --> 00:48:52.119 to mechanize farm in Nigeria with lower cost, I think that's going to 588 00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:58.239 be a big, big, big oh my god, my voice sorry, 589 00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:06.960 yeah again, back and back. So if we can mechanize um farming for 590 00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:12.360 the very very poor farmers in the hinterlands Nigeria that just farm with the whole 591 00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:17.000 and the cutlass, if we can build this very very small I better past 592 00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:22.679 my neighbor cultivators and farnesis harvesters, that would go a long way. If 593 00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:28.920 a farmer could simply take a better pass. My neighbor puts petrol it and 594 00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:32.880 it can cultivate more acreage. That would increase or reduce the need to have 595 00:49:34.159 --> 00:49:38.039 human capital, gives him more, He does more with less time. That 596 00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:43.400 would really be something that we can, you know, exploit and if we 597 00:49:43.480 --> 00:49:47.039 can power that device and it's so nice's not going to be possible. But 598 00:49:47.559 --> 00:49:53.400 in America, I see them using solar powered landlower solar powered dis things that 599 00:49:53.559 --> 00:49:58.639 cut the hedges and all that all from solar. They plug it into a 600 00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:02.239 nice and it hasn't power to work all through today. I don't know if 601 00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:06.719 that's going to be possible, but that would be a big help of the 602 00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:12.599 guys that live off grade off in the villages to have solar to power something 603 00:50:12.719 --> 00:50:16.440 mechanize, even if it's irrigation, and we can reduce the time that they 604 00:50:16.679 --> 00:50:20.679 use manual label. That's going to be really something that I really love to 605 00:50:20.719 --> 00:50:25.880 see come out. Let's get my leg color here, he mala eka, 606 00:50:27.239 --> 00:50:34.840 how are you doing so it's dropped off? I don't know. I'm so 607 00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:39.280 sorry that I'm taking back now. So what's your take again on the overall 608 00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:44.159 impact of say, the new government policy. Not that to get political, 609 00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:46.199 but what's your take? Right, and we had to come out talk about 610 00:50:46.239 --> 00:50:51.199 that the government PPP. What would you like to see going forward? Can 611 00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:54.519 this be used as if we scale this, Can this be useful to go 612 00:50:54.639 --> 00:51:00.719 to get the youths into agriculture? Can this be a quote unquote palliative. 613 00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:07.239 Can we introduce see this on a local government level with equity placement and say 614 00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:12.440 every month or every quarter we have this and the best ideas get an equity 615 00:51:12.559 --> 00:51:15.840 contribution from state, the local government or the state government or a fund that 616 00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:21.199 is contributed by these agencies. Do you think there's an idea there around that? 617 00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:32.639 Um hmm, that's a that's a very interesting question. I particularly I 618 00:51:34.360 --> 00:51:38.000 think that there could be there could be something there that could that could evolve. 619 00:51:38.840 --> 00:51:45.800 UM. Just and I think that young people the way the way to 620 00:51:45.880 --> 00:51:53.400 get young people into agriculture is really to be realistic, that realistic about um 621 00:51:54.000 --> 00:52:05.159 how intense I thought intensive agriculture really is. UM that's one one past and 622 00:52:05.360 --> 00:52:14.519 but also to then create like products that young people could then at a way 623 00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:22.360 of investments in agriculture then participates. I think that getting young people to participate 624 00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:30.000 in agriculture, and I'm speaking as someone who worked within the agri text space 625 00:52:31.639 --> 00:52:36.519 before I joined. Before I joined effect, I think that as a young 626 00:52:36.559 --> 00:52:40.800 person, the only thing that I knew about agriculture was you know, my 627 00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:45.039 dad being very enters stick about going to the farm and all of that. 628 00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:50.719 I mean going to the farm with them, but joining effects and just seeing 629 00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:57.199 how how effort intensive it is. I think that the best way to have 630 00:52:57.599 --> 00:53:05.239 young people participate would just be to be very realistic about the effort that goes 631 00:53:05.280 --> 00:53:09.400 into agriculture MS. And in terms of you know, having the government play 632 00:53:09.480 --> 00:53:15.280 a role, I think that right now the government is more focused about you 633 00:53:15.360 --> 00:53:24.840 know, empowering our food security basket than than empowering young people to come into 634 00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:30.599 the market, which for me, I think that the young people are still 635 00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:35.239 the future of making sure or that the young people are facing in agriculture is 636 00:53:35.320 --> 00:53:40.159 still the way of securing our food baskets. But again, we're very open 637 00:53:40.280 --> 00:53:45.239 to the government collaboration. So far, they've been helpful, but I think 638 00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:51.360 that there could be so much more that they can do in ensuring that we 639 00:53:51.480 --> 00:53:58.440 continue to increase youth participation. We're looking at that chat here in terms of 640 00:53:58.639 --> 00:54:02.280 trading right and says maze is the highest traded crop in Nigeria. Come out 641 00:54:02.360 --> 00:54:07.119 it says maze alone as highest commodity Nigeria. Conto, you guys. Maze 642 00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:12.559 also ties into poultry and I've heard a lot of farmers in Nigeria talk about 643 00:54:12.639 --> 00:54:15.880 that poultry is very expensive. About the maze. So no poultry, no 644 00:54:16.079 --> 00:54:22.000 eggs, no means no pot and all that is there? How come poultry? 645 00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:27.039 How com maze is so highly traded and the supply locally Nigeria can't keep 646 00:54:27.119 --> 00:54:30.440 up? Is it important me just to talk around it as an as an 647 00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:35.239 investor? What's really happened in that space? Are we important this maze or 648 00:54:35.360 --> 00:54:37.079 is that the local means we have it's not enough. There's a guy who 649 00:54:37.119 --> 00:54:40.199 speak to the farmer here tickets around and it was telling me that once he 650 00:54:40.320 --> 00:54:45.679 brings his maize to the market, it goes instantly. So is it is 651 00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:50.079 it traded because the price is highest and high demand? Do we really have 652 00:54:50.320 --> 00:54:55.360 enough maze in Nigeria locally? Um? Okay? So I would address this 653 00:54:55.519 --> 00:55:01.480 question by false stating that again I'm not an expert, but be the virtue 654 00:55:01.480 --> 00:55:07.920 of working in effects also gives me some room to also experience some of these 655 00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:15.079 situations that have some relative understanding. So maze is a stable crop. It's 656 00:55:15.199 --> 00:55:20.760 inside ninety or at least eighty percent of the food that you consume from conflicts 657 00:55:21.559 --> 00:55:24.960 to maze, flower foods and then yes, even poultry consuming so and if 658 00:55:25.000 --> 00:55:30.159 you think about the population or the volume amount of poetry that we have in 659 00:55:30.280 --> 00:55:36.760 Nigeria, it's tremendous. So there is a lot of stress on the sources 660 00:55:36.840 --> 00:55:40.119 of food, which I have not really changed. So even though we have 661 00:55:40.360 --> 00:55:46.639 a huge population of farmers and maze is grown mostly in the north, however 662 00:55:46.840 --> 00:55:51.960 the demand for that maze is across the country, so you have high demand 663 00:55:52.320 --> 00:55:55.679 and low supply. Even when you supplemented with both dry season and wet season 664 00:55:55.760 --> 00:56:00.280 planting, it's the same number of people that growing the same amount of the 665 00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:06.000 same volume of miss. So yes, there is that. Um, there's 666 00:56:06.639 --> 00:56:10.880 what we need to work on. Would rather be UM increased the volume of 667 00:56:10.960 --> 00:56:15.159 maize in the country. I don't know much about if we're important miss to 668 00:56:15.239 --> 00:56:19.519 be honest, but I would say we still do a lot of growing internally. 669 00:56:19.639 --> 00:56:22.280 However, yes, it might not be enough to support the demand for 670 00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:29.280 it. Yeah, that was very interesting for me that that was a big, 671 00:56:30.880 --> 00:56:34.880 big, big, big market of volume around that crop as well. 672 00:56:35.000 --> 00:56:40.440 Know why why folks were why it was that important? DM to you from 673 00:56:40.559 --> 00:56:45.320 from a guy here, I didn't participating cold cash crop, but I have 674 00:56:45.639 --> 00:56:51.599 ideas and I belong to a thin tech hub in a NYA. Is there 675 00:56:51.719 --> 00:56:54.960 a way we can present to you as an as a body or when this 676 00:56:55.000 --> 00:57:00.480 is going to happen again? This is UM somebody asking on DM that didn't 677 00:57:00.519 --> 00:57:04.480 they when didn't come for the events? Are you guys going to be there 678 00:57:04.559 --> 00:57:07.719 again? Or can they give you an idea to under challenge an internel for 679 00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:13.239 them? UM? So yeah, let me let me and said that, 680 00:57:14.079 --> 00:57:19.480 UM, yes, so we are the way that we went about this years 681 00:57:19.599 --> 00:57:23.960 or was do you know involved in lots or tech holds, a narrator and 682 00:57:24.199 --> 00:57:31.119 incubator hubs UM and next year were then also going I had in sane navy. 683 00:57:31.800 --> 00:57:37.000 UM. So we're looking to them part now with UM incubation holds and 684 00:57:37.559 --> 00:57:43.440 tech holds. We've been you know as in debt as each of these areas, 685 00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:49.360 but I would happily stay for you us on our social media PLATBUM next 686 00:57:49.440 --> 00:57:54.360 year we intend to open the challenge even earlier than we did UM this year, 687 00:57:54.559 --> 00:57:59.800 and in this year we opened up the challenges in April next day. 688 00:57:59.840 --> 00:58:05.719 We intend to open up even earlier on and give enough time, enough space 689 00:58:05.840 --> 00:58:08.960 for us to be able to visit this hub like we did this year, 690 00:58:09.800 --> 00:58:16.320 but also enough time enough time for them to be able to see this UM 691 00:58:17.079 --> 00:58:22.559 the post however, wherever they see is and also jump on it. And 692 00:58:22.679 --> 00:58:30.679 we're very happy to have young people wherever you are within Nangeria participates. Okay, 693 00:58:30.880 --> 00:58:35.440 cool, So my friend actually jumped on skin. I have Hana Harronah 694 00:58:35.559 --> 00:58:37.440 is might go to guys when I want to go out and feel the grass. 695 00:58:37.599 --> 00:58:43.639 You want to to distill UM policies down to the local level. So 696 00:58:43.840 --> 00:58:46.199 Harona is a farmer in the Knots. I think the Knots. He has 697 00:58:46.239 --> 00:58:50.320 two large farms were in the north and whatever we talk, I like to 698 00:58:50.400 --> 00:58:53.239 invite him to tell me his own perspective. Right. So Hannah is listening 699 00:58:53.239 --> 00:58:57.719 and I'm saying, Hannah, cold cash crop is you know it's a hackatone. 700 00:58:57.760 --> 00:59:01.800 We're bringing in folks to design innovative solution of the keyword is innovation. 701 00:59:01.920 --> 00:59:07.000 The topic today on Twitter is innovation, best practice, habit as field what 702 00:59:07.159 --> 00:59:12.199 a subsided will talk about rice yields and all that. Hannah, as a 703 00:59:12.400 --> 00:59:16.679 farmer in the north right, what would you like to see come out of 704 00:59:16.960 --> 00:59:22.519 this code crash crop? What'so innovation? Do you think if it came out 705 00:59:22.039 --> 00:59:25.320 you would really go for it, you would spending on it? Or what 706 00:59:25.639 --> 00:59:30.519 idea would you want them to challenge the next folk to take a pick at? 707 00:59:30.559 --> 00:59:36.840 If you could give us your own perspective, that would help us well, 708 00:59:36.960 --> 00:59:40.599 believing, beliving to everyone on the space all morning, it's nice to 709 00:59:40.679 --> 00:59:45.320 do on the space, or as a gain, thank you well? You 710 00:59:45.400 --> 00:59:50.920 see innovation? First of all, what do you to find innovation? To 711 00:59:51.079 --> 00:59:59.039 me, innovation is rather application of engineering, technological or whatever to make life 712 00:59:59.320 --> 01:00:05.679 easy for rememberings or to make life easy automation of processes, either mechanical, 713 01:00:05.840 --> 01:00:09.960 electrical, and agriculture and so on and so forth. I think it's just 714 01:00:10.199 --> 01:00:15.760 to make things faster. Whose ease of doing them? Just the ease of 715 01:00:15.880 --> 01:00:23.519 doing processes whatever sector that is applicable. Now coming to our own perception, 716 01:00:24.760 --> 01:00:32.119 our technology advancement where farmers are so because you have a lot of places where 717 01:00:32.159 --> 01:00:38.519 even the network it's not available first for network challenges. Secondly, yes, 718 01:00:38.760 --> 01:00:43.119 network challenges. A lot of our farmlies you don't have network within when you 719 01:00:43.199 --> 01:00:45.519 get into the first because they are not in the cities and they're way of 720 01:00:46.440 --> 01:00:53.440 the marrus where you have the tools like you know erected local governments headquarters as 721 01:00:53.519 --> 01:00:59.599 well. So maybe probably more than forty percent or sixty percent of our learned 722 01:00:59.639 --> 01:01:07.760 mass uh technology technology has been is not available. So now with this not 723 01:01:07.880 --> 01:01:13.840 availability of technology, what do you to to breathe the gap that will help 724 01:01:14.000 --> 01:01:20.599 the farmer access this technology that will be designed in the form of apps, 725 01:01:20.719 --> 01:01:23.159 in the form of the engage with the valuating, in the form of processing 726 01:01:23.239 --> 01:01:29.159 and so on as well. Now you're funding, you can you can have 727 01:01:29.320 --> 01:01:34.800 even technological pre break to it's a simple size that will give you the quality 728 01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:39.199 also a soul that's the nutrients value of your soul. To know the applicable 729 01:01:39.280 --> 01:01:45.239 fertilizer and so on you want to do to fix your soul. That technology 730 01:01:45.599 --> 01:01:49.800 is not available, So the tech guys is they can do something. It's 731 01:01:49.840 --> 01:01:54.039 just a simple tech thing that where you're taken away a role can give you 732 01:01:54.119 --> 01:02:00.280 a profit if it is upwameterized, not because maximaey, you need just maybe 733 01:02:00.360 --> 01:02:07.440 like one two hundred mm of a soil uh top soil for your file. 734 01:02:07.639 --> 01:02:10.679 But like if you get were meter that you can profile, it's good and 735 01:02:10.760 --> 01:02:15.159 then it gives you the litral contents of the sword so that you'll help you 736 01:02:15.239 --> 01:02:16.800 to know, Okay, this is the quantitude or this is the type of 737 01:02:16.920 --> 01:02:22.480 fertilizers also apply or what do I do to to increase the nutrient value of 738 01:02:22.599 --> 01:02:29.840 my son? My son naturally without even applying chemical fertilizer that they bleeds and 739 01:02:30.039 --> 01:02:35.199 bleach the soul application of compos Like now I've seen a guy in I think 740 01:02:35.440 --> 01:02:44.000 Kenya or Uveander. What he does he does is uh flies black horse. 741 01:02:44.519 --> 01:02:50.519 He funds them, so he used cowdom to get them, and then delay 742 01:02:50.760 --> 01:02:54.840 x five foundred six hundred eggs and he used those eggs the laver to fit 743 01:02:54.920 --> 01:03:01.880 his chicken. He has reduced the use of she can fit to our sixty 744 01:03:01.960 --> 01:03:07.519 percent. And the grade of puting is so high. So you see it's 745 01:03:07.559 --> 01:03:13.400 an innovation that he decided to sow. He's into that now using kardom and 746 01:03:13.559 --> 01:03:17.400 the flies they are not hand from the dumpight, they're lazy. Immediately they 747 01:03:17.519 --> 01:03:22.400 meet the husband dies, the meal devil dies and she can leave forward to 748 01:03:22.519 --> 01:03:27.480 six hundred eights. You can see innovation now to bring to break through the 749 01:03:29.280 --> 01:03:35.760 poultry fit escalation prices all over because miss is the essentiality and there's a competition 750 01:03:35.840 --> 01:03:38.199 that people eat it, they use it like the other guys, a conflict 751 01:03:38.320 --> 01:03:44.880 and so on as one so one percentage to our poultry farmers, our poultry 752 01:03:44.960 --> 01:03:50.159 mealers need of the miss we produced, not forgetting the insecurity that people cannot 753 01:03:50.199 --> 01:03:54.480 access their farms. So the gap is monumental. How do we improve our 754 01:03:54.559 --> 01:03:59.000 sickness? How do you have good silis that will give you the other guy 755 01:03:59.000 --> 01:04:04.119 I was talking about forty four? How do you increase increase us misic list 756 01:04:04.199 --> 01:04:08.920 that we give us high end that we think maybe one twenty one forty backs 757 01:04:09.239 --> 01:04:14.239 fifty kg bags for hector hundred birds were perhapt. Those are the innovation we're 758 01:04:14.280 --> 01:04:17.800 supposed to concern create because if we take care of the security, the innovation 759 01:04:17.960 --> 01:04:23.360 not the technological preate who can break into for the farmer to get access to 760 01:04:23.480 --> 01:04:30.119 this because with other farmers at the farmer that produces ten twenty birds that you 761 01:04:30.239 --> 01:04:33.880 think it's not if you put them in a hop now they might produce more 762 01:04:33.920 --> 01:04:38.559 than ten thousand, twenty thousand bucks. You understand them drying to see so 763 01:04:38.639 --> 01:04:43.960 you can see the quantum so and by giving them improvingly improved technology application of 764 01:04:44.039 --> 01:04:48.239 fertilizers as on creating a good value chain in the business of setting the off 765 01:04:48.280 --> 01:04:54.639 takers that rip of farmers having direct access flow to the market, I think 766 01:04:54.679 --> 01:05:00.400 that technology will help to him to to to create benefit for the farmer. 767 01:05:00.440 --> 01:05:03.360 At the end of the d I mean, now I got you so, 768 01:05:03.639 --> 01:05:08.840 Hannah, I was writing them down. You talked about the access or the 769 01:05:09.159 --> 01:05:13.159 general telecom access. I'm not sure these guys can do that general telecom access 770 01:05:13.239 --> 01:05:15.079 I e. And all that. Then you spoke about the soil tech one. 771 01:05:15.119 --> 01:05:17.800 You know, if they can create something that you can dip, you 772 01:05:17.880 --> 01:05:23.039 know, like a rod or it or scanned a piece of paper into the 773 01:05:23.159 --> 01:05:26.719 ground and to give it the ascidtic content and to tell the farmer that, 774 01:05:27.159 --> 01:05:30.840 okay, based on what we are seeing, use this sort of fertilizer. 775 01:05:30.199 --> 01:05:34.280 I found that very interesting. I've seen it in the US where you can 776 01:05:34.400 --> 01:05:39.599 take a picture or you you dip something to the soil and then you put 777 01:05:39.679 --> 01:05:44.800 it on analyzer and it can tell you the content or the chemical competition. 778 01:05:45.239 --> 01:05:48.199 You talk about improved siblings, then you talk about maze. Example, the 779 01:05:48.320 --> 01:05:51.800 Kenyan guy using the flies and dong you know, to feed his poetry and 780 01:05:51.840 --> 01:05:56.480 all that. So let me get I got camal a goja Kim. You've 781 01:05:56.519 --> 01:06:00.599 heard from a farmer you know in Nigeria what he is looking for in terms 782 01:06:00.639 --> 01:06:04.559 of innovation that would help improve his yield. To think that he can he 783 01:06:04.679 --> 01:06:10.039 thinks you guys can do. Do you have any feedback or any any follow 784 01:06:10.119 --> 01:06:14.559 up or what he said? What do you think is feasible within the confines 785 01:06:14.599 --> 01:06:17.280 of effects and all that? You guys have to flow Hakim and come out 786 01:06:17.280 --> 01:06:21.519 and you guys have to flog ahead. Thanks Thanks Cadu. And it was 787 01:06:21.679 --> 01:06:27.840 very interesting to hear Harna speak. Thank you. And what was most interesting 788 01:06:28.039 --> 01:06:33.039 was how he was validating some of them. Some of the problem areas that 789 01:06:33.159 --> 01:06:39.320 we have considered as an organization as well, especially around soil providing. So 790 01:06:39.480 --> 01:06:42.639 that's something we're currently working on. I would say, watch this space, 791 01:06:42.719 --> 01:06:46.280 but I don't know which space particularly, Just keep watching effects. You see 792 01:06:46.320 --> 01:06:51.000 something around that soon, Harouna. We have one solution called work Venture, 793 01:06:51.000 --> 01:06:58.400 which is our farmer and outreach handling sees, so he has some of those 794 01:06:58.440 --> 01:07:03.679 functionalities been built into it. Um. But yes, our innovations have to 795 01:07:03.880 --> 01:07:10.400 be can only be present or can only work when the people who would use 796 01:07:10.480 --> 01:07:14.920 them or benefit from them are comfortable, like you mentioned insecurity and stuff like 797 01:07:15.039 --> 01:07:21.199 that. And then things around infrastructure to support some of these innovations like network 798 01:07:21.360 --> 01:07:28.159 towers and stuff like that. It will be helpful if other organizations, the 799 01:07:28.320 --> 01:07:33.519 governments a full partnership. We all should collaborate and realize that if we're able 800 01:07:33.599 --> 01:07:39.840 to feed Nigeria, feed Africa, will be able to think more and focus 801 01:07:40.000 --> 01:07:45.239 our energy on different order, different order solutions. UM. So it's it 802 01:07:45.320 --> 01:07:50.199 has to be collaborative efforts. Um. That's one thing I wanted to high 803 01:07:50.239 --> 01:07:56.599 light. Um. Other things are definitely possible and some years sartaining within the 804 01:07:56.679 --> 01:08:00.679 realm of what effects covers um. Yes, Harna, thank you for validating 805 01:08:00.800 --> 01:08:03.000 some of those things. And it will also be good to catch you after 806 01:08:03.199 --> 01:08:08.239 this just to hear some of the ideas you have. Harna's agent, So 807 01:08:08.519 --> 01:08:14.599 whatever you guys are discussing, please need some of your insights. Yeah, 808 01:08:14.679 --> 01:08:16.840 but he's a very if you want to reach him he's very you know this, 809 01:08:17.159 --> 01:08:21.640 he's in the practicality of it, and he's always been accessible to also 810 01:08:21.720 --> 01:08:26.840 say these things you guys are saying, this is my angle and it's always 811 01:08:26.920 --> 01:08:30.439 important to hear from the guys quote un quote with boots on the ground. 812 01:08:30.840 --> 01:08:35.359 So thanks thanks Coma and if her Kim hasn't he follow up? UM. 813 01:08:36.800 --> 01:08:43.800 I mean Coma has ten lots on the um effect side of things, but 814 01:08:43.920 --> 01:08:50.079 I wanted to plug someone who also pitched his idea at the boot camp UM 815 01:08:50.680 --> 01:08:59.000 and he was trying to also solve the the issue that Harna had raised up 816 01:08:59.079 --> 01:09:02.640 on so well. And I believe the guy the sol Sciences I was. 817 01:09:02.720 --> 01:09:06.319 I was trying to find the name of this solution. I think you already 818 01:09:06.560 --> 01:09:12.279 launched it. I would just leave it in the chat. It's called Freeway 819 01:09:12.399 --> 01:09:16.960 and literally the platform shows what it does is you know, you're able to 820 01:09:17.079 --> 01:09:24.800 take example of soil uploaded. There's a way that it works that is so 821 01:09:25.760 --> 01:09:30.640 amazing to me that you're able to You're also able to get so in science 822 01:09:30.880 --> 01:09:38.800 whether podcast, um, straight to your phones. I think it also adapt 823 01:09:40.479 --> 01:09:44.479 to your language as well, and it's such an innovative idea. It was 824 01:09:44.560 --> 01:09:47.520 one of the ideas that we saw at the boot camp, and just that 825 01:09:47.760 --> 01:09:53.279 was to show you that the intensity of solutions that we saw it just cuts 826 01:09:53.359 --> 01:09:59.159 across, you know, some of the issues that farmers are facing. I 827 01:09:59.239 --> 01:10:03.359 think I'm less his UM the link to his platform in the chart of this 828 01:10:03.720 --> 01:10:08.399 space UM and Haron, I think you can also just take a look at 829 01:10:08.479 --> 01:10:15.680 this UM his base. He worked out of Emore or inmost states, UM 830 01:10:15.840 --> 01:10:24.399 and he has such innovative ideas on you know, things around soil UM whether 831 01:10:25.479 --> 01:10:30.079 UM data just there is actually really great UM and and I think that Harna 832 01:10:30.239 --> 01:10:34.000 or anyone on this base can also just take a look at this UM if 833 01:10:34.119 --> 01:10:40.479 I don't know, is it is it a Reward Technologies Owe, Okay, 834 01:10:40.520 --> 01:10:43.720 So I'm just gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna retweet that. So if you want 835 01:10:43.760 --> 01:10:46.960 to grab it, it's just gonna be on my on my handle rewar tech 836 01:10:47.880 --> 01:10:54.840 for x your firm productivity with reward tex A proprietary solutions. So he basically 837 01:10:54.920 --> 01:10:59.760 increases yield, our perform. Yeah, okay, her best most stress less 838 01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:04.000 agricultural and revolution eliminate barriers, mitigate risks. Yeah, it looks like a 839 01:11:04.279 --> 01:11:09.560 like a nice website. Is this guy Nigeria. Yeah, he's based out 840 01:11:09.600 --> 01:11:12.960 of Emo. He came out of the way to get from Emo to the 841 01:11:13.039 --> 01:11:16.560 poodcast to teach his idea and it was really amazing. Yeah. He looks 842 01:11:16.640 --> 01:11:21.359 like a Lagos Business school, Ford Foundation. You know again, he looks 843 01:11:21.399 --> 01:11:26.199 like he's been around you know, he's in the US. Yeah. Interested, 844 01:11:26.399 --> 01:11:30.720 very interesting, Thanks son, Hannah, did you have a I mean 845 01:11:30.760 --> 01:11:33.920 they're giving you directions of giving you guys who can follow up with I think 846 01:11:33.920 --> 01:11:38.239 that what I hear them say is that yes, we're on it and want 847 01:11:38.319 --> 01:11:42.359 to hear more from you and want to he want to basically solve this together. 848 01:11:42.439 --> 01:11:45.359 Like we said, it's a Greek tech and fintech. That's what we're 849 01:11:45.399 --> 01:11:47.960 going to do. You can't do the agree without the thing. You can 850 01:11:48.079 --> 01:11:51.800 do the tech without the Greek and all that's he's a combo of of all 851 01:11:51.880 --> 01:11:57.119 three. So I like how you guys are basically called collab Britain. All 852 01:11:57.159 --> 01:12:00.359 three affects Hannah at Hakim and come out. I love that, Love that, 853 01:12:00.439 --> 01:12:02.960 love that all right, guys, And there's any what I want that 854 01:12:03.359 --> 01:12:09.199 has a DM or wants to speak or the wise I loot let this good 855 01:12:09.359 --> 01:12:13.840 folks that have been with me for an hour and go back and enjoy their 856 01:12:13.920 --> 01:12:16.239 weekend. If I have a few DM but I think those questions you are 857 01:12:16.279 --> 01:12:21.279 asking with sort of touched on them. Adana has explained that we're going to 858 01:12:21.319 --> 01:12:26.239 have another episode of the Code Crash Crop and it's time to be a bit 859 01:12:26.359 --> 01:12:30.600 more. You would know when it's out and she's saying that header say, 860 01:12:30.840 --> 01:12:34.199 partner with your local hub. You know, try to whatever you are trying 861 01:12:34.239 --> 01:12:39.680 to partner with, folks so you can hear when these events come up. 862 01:12:39.760 --> 01:12:43.319 You have to get out there and sell your solution. Like if you wink 863 01:12:43.359 --> 01:12:45.560 in the dark, no one's gonna see it. So try to get out 864 01:12:45.600 --> 01:12:49.640 there, you know, join it, y, Yeah, join the trade 865 01:12:49.680 --> 01:12:54.680 group and all that so you get the information because your pitch could have won, 866 01:12:54.840 --> 01:12:57.760 even if you don't win. Think about the networking. You know, 867 01:12:57.840 --> 01:13:00.920 I saw the pictures at that of the Code Catch Cup event you guys had. 868 01:13:01.439 --> 01:13:05.680 I saw the people. There was a very very quote unquote small room 869 01:13:05.720 --> 01:13:10.479 in terms of you could reach out and talk to someone sitting by your side. 870 01:13:10.840 --> 01:13:13.600 That's how you network. People were there, you guys are have been 871 01:13:13.680 --> 01:13:17.479 fun. Although you guys promised me, hoodie. I'm still not getting you 872 01:13:19.119 --> 01:13:23.840 know, we still have this is what we had was just the poodscam. 873 01:13:24.159 --> 01:13:28.159 Yeah, what we had was just the poodscap our. Then look when I'm 874 01:13:28.159 --> 01:13:31.760 putting to get like finishing touches on the Grand Final Leader we're having in August. 875 01:13:32.079 --> 01:13:36.399 So your hoodie is with me. Thank you, thank you. Please 876 01:13:36.479 --> 01:13:41.319 keep it out. We'll send some to Collective. It was very nice, 877 01:13:41.359 --> 01:13:44.880 you know, I like to set there's the whole idea of just bringing the 878 01:13:45.079 --> 01:13:47.479 professionals and the guys that have a lot of ideas to just talk. And 879 01:13:47.560 --> 01:13:50.920 that's why I've asked you that question. We have to take this, you 880 01:13:51.000 --> 01:13:55.279 know, as to stay on the road. And even if you get out, 881 01:13:55.399 --> 01:13:58.600 I'm not going to give gifts out. Just the fact that people can 882 01:13:58.760 --> 01:14:01.000 go out. Lots of folks want to do this private equity, Lots of 883 01:14:01.079 --> 01:14:04.239 folks want to raise money. Lots of folks want to, you know, 884 01:14:04.560 --> 01:14:10.560 see where the investors are. Even if you guys provide the platform where every 885 01:14:10.640 --> 01:14:14.199 monde like you do apolot Theater. Where on the Apolo Theater you go there 886 01:14:14.560 --> 01:14:17.079 and you show you case your skills. If you catch fire, you catch 887 01:14:17.159 --> 01:14:20.279 fire. If you feel you feel. But if people know every month on 888 01:14:20.399 --> 01:14:24.880 the twenty fifth, on the twelve, I can go here and I will 889 01:14:24.960 --> 01:14:28.479 pitch. People will come and sit down and just listening. And you're not 890 01:14:28.640 --> 01:14:32.600 guaranteeing success now you're guaranteeing return. But it's a space if I have an 891 01:14:32.640 --> 01:14:36.039 idea and go there and pitch, and if I people like it, they 892 01:14:36.159 --> 01:14:40.319 take my number after I pro don't like it, you know, and all 893 01:14:40.359 --> 01:14:43.520 that, But it's a good thing you guys are doing, and I want 894 01:14:43.600 --> 01:14:45.640 you guys to succeed on to do more of it. Parad Do you have 895 01:14:45.760 --> 01:14:49.520 any for the comments before we sort of start to wind down the space? 896 01:14:56.520 --> 01:15:02.520 You see, you see we have a problem of adaptability, adapt adaptation. 897 01:15:03.079 --> 01:15:12.720 What do I you know, we designed products and we don't have good marketing 898 01:15:12.960 --> 01:15:16.920 segmentation strategy on the products we design. Well, can you have an application 899 01:15:16.960 --> 01:15:20.920 show? They rewire think she's talking about I went through the page. But 900 01:15:21.399 --> 01:15:28.199 it's a technology driven thing. But where the accessibility of the technology at the 901 01:15:28.319 --> 01:15:33.119 local level, you see the change is glocal. You understand what I mean? 902 01:15:35.159 --> 01:15:39.840 I hear you, so I hear you, so in effect, how 903 01:15:39.920 --> 01:15:43.319 if I could understand what you're saying, right, solutions are there, you 904 01:15:43.439 --> 01:15:48.359 want them to be domesticated exactly. You see when we domesticated and we look 905 01:15:48.439 --> 01:15:54.800 at the segmentation of our market in trying to create an innovative platform, what 906 01:15:55.079 --> 01:15:58.039 is the target which market? With the segment of the market, which one 907 01:15:58.079 --> 01:16:03.520 are you targeted? You are targetting farmers that are big time farmers that have 908 01:16:03.640 --> 01:16:16.880 accessibility. That is it? But now did I lose your hand? At 909 01:16:16.920 --> 01:16:21.479 the bottom of the pyramid, the farm bottom of the pyramid, what do 910 01:16:21.600 --> 01:16:28.359 we have for them? That is where mainly forget we the big time farmers 911 01:16:28.439 --> 01:16:31.319 that you can access all these things. But down there at that level, 912 01:16:31.479 --> 01:16:35.920 how do we communicate that to them? And how will the technology reach them? 913 01:16:38.199 --> 01:16:40.840 You understand what I'm trying to see. I hear you, Hanna. 914 01:16:41.119 --> 01:16:43.319 Let me take you up on that right. Let me let me ask you 915 01:16:43.359 --> 01:16:46.479 a question and you could answer. Just let's don't a tangent here. When 916 01:16:46.600 --> 01:16:50.319 I travel, I always like to go to the farms in the US the 917 01:16:50.479 --> 01:16:56.079 UK, you see a lot of you know, by per acreage, per 918 01:16:56.239 --> 01:17:00.640 acreage, they don't have small farms, you're the small, tiny farms and 919 01:17:00.760 --> 01:17:04.479 all that they seem to have rather large acreages, a lot of mechanization and 920 01:17:04.600 --> 01:17:08.920 all that. When I go to the north, you see the large farms, 921 01:17:09.239 --> 01:17:13.159 you also see the smaller farms. In terms of the economics of it. 922 01:17:14.359 --> 01:17:17.640 Do you think it makes sense for those large firms to sort of cooperate 923 01:17:18.319 --> 01:17:24.840 and then they can then get access to say because the question is that is 924 01:17:24.920 --> 01:17:30.159 it profitable for a small farm to use tech? What how much would he 925 01:17:30.279 --> 01:17:35.479 produce on that small farm. Netherlands is a savery small country, but they've 926 01:17:35.560 --> 01:17:40.560 sort of us high tech in those small, tiny firms and they're rich enough 927 01:17:40.560 --> 01:17:44.359 to afford it. In Nigeria, we're not as rich as the citizens of 928 01:17:44.439 --> 01:17:47.680 Netherlands. How was there going to be the arrow eye? If you take 929 01:17:47.880 --> 01:17:53.760 that high tech to a small farm in say Jigawa and say this farm we're 930 01:17:53.800 --> 01:17:56.840 going to invest in some amount of money, how much would them be the 931 01:17:56.920 --> 01:17:59.279 bag of means? Will you go up? Will they go down? What's 932 01:17:59.319 --> 01:18:03.039 your taken around this start? Uh huh? You see that's where I talk 933 01:18:03.079 --> 01:18:08.399 of the segmentation in the market. Now you see you can cool cool, 934 01:18:08.600 --> 01:18:14.600 cool bring farmers together. Yeah, when you bring like given time farmers, 935 01:18:14.840 --> 01:18:18.520 you will be surprised that you will have about a hundred or wellfuty hectors. 936 01:18:18.920 --> 01:18:25.479 But then there are small time farmers to this technology. At what cost are 937 01:18:25.520 --> 01:18:36.479 you going to deliver it? That's the vent? Did him again? That 938 01:18:36.720 --> 01:18:42.520 is OK? Yeah, hello, are you hearing? Yes, you see 939 01:18:42.960 --> 01:18:48.720 farmers are adaptive changes. But the automoty and the cost of it, that's 940 01:18:49.079 --> 01:18:55.199 what that farmer at the bottom of ladder a pyramids will look at, which 941 01:18:55.760 --> 01:19:00.439 I have just ten hectors. You're coming with this technology. It will improve, 942 01:19:00.640 --> 01:19:04.000 it will make me improve. My will improve. Like he doesn't care 943 01:19:04.039 --> 01:19:11.960 about telling him that that this is the new trend because this is the type 944 01:19:11.960 --> 01:19:15.399 of this is this, this is like extensional side. This is at what 945 01:19:15.600 --> 01:19:17.800 course are you giving him those sides? That is the first thing he will 946 01:19:17.880 --> 01:19:20.680 think of. But like now if you go to your final you think you 947 01:19:20.760 --> 01:19:25.840 have this technology, let me test it for you and Apolo's kim and see, 948 01:19:25.920 --> 01:19:29.600 let's do this is what I want you to plant this on your skull 949 01:19:29.760 --> 01:19:38.039 profile and this and that and this is what you m think. Well, 950 01:19:38.199 --> 01:19:42.279 I think, Hannah, is this camel started and affect about the cloud? 951 01:19:42.319 --> 01:19:45.560 Hannah, if you can hear me, I can hear you, and I 952 01:19:45.760 --> 01:19:49.119 would love to hear what you're saying, all right, guys, Hannah, 953 01:19:49.119 --> 01:19:51.039 if you can, I want you to make sure you can. Can you 954 01:19:51.159 --> 01:19:55.520 hear me? If you can, if you're hearing me your order? Yeah, 955 01:19:55.560 --> 01:20:00.000 your audience going often on Hannah, Hello, I can hear you now? 956 01:20:03.119 --> 01:20:08.119 Also sorry, Hannah is like you're cutting off. Okay, so harnad, 957 01:20:08.159 --> 01:20:11.720 let's let's let's let's let's blandish. Let's let's take it home. Right. 958 01:20:12.600 --> 01:20:15.960 So, um, guys who've been talking with the guys from Affects about 959 01:20:16.239 --> 01:20:20.880 innovation, we're speaking around that whole topic of innovation. What is it? 960 01:20:21.399 --> 01:20:27.119 How can we make it better? How can the farmer's benefit. Affects is 961 01:20:27.159 --> 01:20:30.800 doing the code crash crop, which is bringing agricultural fintech and tech you know, 962 01:20:30.920 --> 01:20:36.079 like into the space. The whole idea is to boost outcomes to bringing 963 01:20:36.159 --> 01:20:43.119 the younger folks into this space fair where they are now in agriculture without carrying 964 01:20:43.159 --> 01:20:46.760 who and cutlass right and work seeing some of the big solutions using s SSD 965 01:20:46.960 --> 01:20:51.800 to convert no language, to look at language so that the farmer in Jigawa, 966 01:20:51.920 --> 01:20:59.479 in a boring in open state can participate in this tech tech tech of 967 01:21:00.039 --> 01:21:04.119 agriculture in his own language and that of course, of course improve years because 968 01:21:04.159 --> 01:21:09.479 he can know what we're how much crops have been sold, what sort of 969 01:21:09.479 --> 01:21:12.520 effect less has to sell. This just an example of the ideas have come 970 01:21:12.640 --> 01:21:15.800 up from the Harkerton that effects is doing. So we are glad they're doing 971 01:21:15.840 --> 01:21:19.840 this, and I'm glad that they're looking at expanding and being more open about 972 01:21:19.880 --> 01:21:25.079 it even next season two more advertal more folks can come in. We've seen 973 01:21:25.119 --> 01:21:28.199 folks say they they were not aware of this first one, but I didn't 974 01:21:28.199 --> 01:21:30.560 want to be there for Harcerton five point zero the next time it comes out, 975 01:21:30.880 --> 01:21:35.520 So comalt Hakim ad danna. Let's just maybe give our closing remarks and 976 01:21:35.600 --> 01:21:40.520 then I can let you guys all go and enjoy this lovely weekend in whatever 977 01:21:40.680 --> 01:21:43.840 city that you are in.

Next people want to try to have our usual you 1050 01:27:24.319 --> 01:27:28.399 know, talk about the economy. I want to talk about the palliatives. 1051 01:27:28.479 --> 01:27:32.800 You know what's happening with the palliatives? Is it a negative or a positive? 1052 01:27:32.840 --> 01:27:36.600 To remember what the government is doing today in terms of removal of subsidy 1053 01:27:36.800 --> 01:27:42.239 is tough, it's necessary. Maybe the way they've done it could be done 1054 01:27:42.319 --> 01:27:45.359 better, but it is necessary. So we have to start to realize the 1055 01:27:45.439 --> 01:27:48.479 economy. But in this rearranging, people are going to suffer, and I 1056 01:27:48.560 --> 01:27:54.399 want to talk about how maybe they can do better. What's what we can 1057 01:27:54.520 --> 01:27:59.720 we do a palatives but easier. But agriculture is always going to be a 1058 01:28:00.039 --> 01:28:03.680 go to space for every Nigerian agriculture in one way of the other. Adia 1059 01:28:03.680 --> 01:28:06.319 are going to be a farmer, or are going to be a retailer, 1060 01:28:06.640 --> 01:28:11.600 or you're going to be an investor. You want to get your hands into 1061 01:28:11.680 --> 01:28:15.600 that agricultural space. What you see here is just very minimal. Right now, 1062 01:28:15.760 --> 01:28:19.399 Nigeria has still not tapped into the potential of what agriculture can do. 1063 01:28:19.560 --> 01:28:26.199 An agriculture remains the largest contributor to GDP A just an employer to labor. 1064 01:28:26.600 --> 01:28:30.079 So there is enough space for everyone to play a part of You going to 1065 01:28:30.199 --> 01:28:35.840 find a space in that slaver and be there and try to make your radio 1066 01:28:36.119 --> 01:28:40.520 orright.
