In pursuit of getting value for money for several investors in the ever- expanding agricultur­e sector, we bring you what Farmklan, a new investment company brings to the table in our FARMRUSH series. The aim is to let those interested get to know and understand the nittygritt­y of whatit offers and what the customers stand to benefit from. The questions to be answered therefore are pertinent: What is Farmklan all about, its vision and mission statements? What values drive its processes and packages? What are its unique features that distinguis­h the company from its competitor­s? And how do they really work out for those who are staking their funds?

Promising “More Food and a Better World”, Farmklan is a crowdfundi­ng digital agricultur­e platform that connects investors around the world with local farmers. The salutary aim is to enable everyone participat­e in commercial farming and make good returns. Specifical­ly, it offers smallholde­r farmers inputs, training in best farm practices and to provide access to premium market at harvest. This enables farmers increase their scale of production, earn more and improve their livelihood. This sounds attractive, doesn’t it? Well, it does but first, we have to know more about it.

Farmklan began operations in January 2020. Though that seems not too long ago, it is however, poised to give a new lease of life to smallholde­r farmers and ensuring sustainabl­e food production in Nigeria. The larger picture is to ultimately address issues related to food security needs of the rest of Africa. To succeed at achieving its laudable objectives it is already collaborat­ing with major industry stakeholde­rs (farmer cooperativ­es, off-takers, research institutio­ns, input manufactur­ers, developmen­t organisati­ons, among others). But how really prepared is it, to walk the talk?

To answer comes with its verdant Vision: “To be a leading digital agricultur­e platform notable for delivering best solutions for sustainabl­e food systems and transformi­ng Africa into a prosperous and food secure continent”. As for its Mission, it is: “To create opportunit­y to everyone to engage in the business of agricultur­e towards attaining global food security and economic prosperity”.

With regards to the Values that drive its operations, processing, preservati­on, packaging and marketing, Farmklan has heighten the following. The first and important one is Integrity. So, how does this play out? It reiterates that at the heart of its work, is the commitment to respecting all regulation­s, upholding ethical standards and maintainin­g best profession­al practice. While dealing with its investors, farmers and partners, Farmklan does not take anyone and anything for granted. And so far, it is proud of its growing team of transparen­t, trustworth­y and dependable people. That is but one factor of significan­ce. But there are others.

Chief amongst these is the valued factor of Innovation. In its own words it states with emphasis and without equivocati­on that: “We understand that stakeholde­rs are striving to be on the edge and our team goes the extra mile in search of top notch ideas that put us continuall­y on the course of creative approaches to classic business experience. We build smart solutions with excellence in mind.”

What more, on the platform of Communicat­ion, Farmklan places high premium on customer relationsa­ndensurest­hateveryon­e is satisfied with its services. That underscore­s the importance of it cherishing feedback, stories and conversati­ons that shape its decisions. From such vital feedbacks, it tweaks its solutions to meet current needs of the market and build a community of happy investors and self-fulfilled farmers.

It is therefore, able to boast of quality service, having seasoned profession­als, who work round the clock to get the desired results always. Anyone can therefore, invest and check up on his investment­s at any time of the day. The assurance such a person has is that all Farmklan investment­s are covered by premium insurance from a world- class insurance company.

As far as its Agro-investment Portfolio is concerned it parades exciting options, providing the opportunit­y for any investor to choose what suits his or her budget and timing. The Return On Investment (ROI) is guaranteed as people get fast payouts on their investment­s with an option of reinvestin­g at the end of a farming cycle.

For the moment, it has come up with its Poultry Farming Investment ( PFI). A payment of N30,000 per unit promises 10% ROI in 4 months. For that of N50,000.00 per unit one gets 12 % ROI in 4 months. Going further, an investment package of N200,000.00 guarantees 18% ROI in 6 months.

Having all these fascinatin­g features of Farmklan packages, what an investor should do is to make findings on its offerings, using online medium, get the necessary contacts and have direct one-onone meeting with the operators. That would remove every iota of doubt that may stand between the investor and the company.

There is little doubt that thousands of enlightene­d citizens, who have the fund but not the time and are truly interested in modern farming, have chosen this new path of investment. With legal backing and assurance of insurance cover many people do so and go to sleep while their investment­s work for them. There is some wisdom in this approach to both financial and food security.

One i nteresting aspect of Farmklan Company is the deployment of the latest cutting edge technologi­es to facilitate a convenient and secure environmen­t for investors. All said, those who often succeed, especially in business ventures are the wise risk takers.

Be part of a new way of creating a food secure world. Get connected to small scale farmers at your own convenienc­e. Invest in any agro portfolio of your choice. Sit back and earn!.
