Below is an interview with an inspiring investor who has gone all the way to engage in a major agricultural investment. His results have been instructive.
Tell us
about your small beginning?
Mayor farms began as a result of the need of the promoters to diversify their business interest. We therefore sought an industry where our impact will be most effective in meeting the critical needs of society. We settled for Agriculture, that was in mid 2011.
We commenced by visiting many poultry farms from where we
were able to observe the positive practices and mistakes being made by those
farms. From these observations, we were able to draw up our business plan, and
we rolled out by nominating one of our directors, Mr. Ahmed Alli, to undergo a
certificate course in poultry management and saddled him with the
responsibility of fully managing the enterprise with support from the Board of
Directors.
