A tech expert, Mr. Tunde Kelani, has identified agricultural revolution as a means of diversifying the Nigerian economy and called for credit facilities and security for farmers.
Kelani identified the need to build the agro communities for sustainable development and providing a tech-friendly relationship with farmers within an ecosystem that provides their needs.
He said during a press conference in Lagos that “at Crust Africa, we are focused on building digital payments for everyone in the agriculture value chain.
“We envision a world where farmers, commodity traders, food processors, exporters, and everyone else who works in the agro space can interact within a financial ecosystem that is targeted at solving their needs. As the vice president of Growth, I have been able to drive significant customer acquisition and profitability.
“Our aim is to empower farmers with access to financial services and create sustainable growth in these communities. We plan to expand our reach across Africa this year, improving financial inclusion, and positively impacting the lives of millions.”
In his message to upcoming entrepreneurs, he charged farmers to “believe in yourself, never give up, and embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. Build resilience, seek knowledge, and surround yourself with a network of like-minded individuals who can support and inspire you. The world needs innovative solutions, and with the right mindset and determination, you can make a meaningful impact. Dream big, work hard, and strive for greatness!”
