آج کل پاکستان میں کرکٹ کے حوالے سے یورپین ملک نیدرلینڈ کے بہت چرچے ہیں، اور نیدرلینڈ سے اپ سیٹ شکست کے بعد ہی ساؤتھ افریقہ ورلڈ کپ سے باہر اور پاکستان فائنل میں پہنچا تھا
نیدرلینڈ بے شک کرکٹ میں ایک کمزور ملک ہو لیکن جب بات آتی ہے دنیا کو فوڈ ایکسپورٹ کی تو 🔻
نیدرلینڈ بے شک کرکٹ میں ایک کمزور ملک ہو لیکن جب بات آتی ہے دنیا کو فوڈ ایکسپورٹ کی تو 🔻
نیدرلینڈ کا نام آپ کو ٹاپ پر ملے گا تو کیا نیدرلینڈ کوئی بہت بڑا زرعی رقبہ رکھنے والا ملک ہے؟ جی نہیں.!!
نیدرلینڈ کا رقبہ ہمارے صوبہ پنجاب سے بھی کم ہے۔ لیکن انہوں نے پانی کے استعمال میں 90 % کمی، عمودی کھیتی، گرین ہاؤسز، بلیڈنگ ایج #agritech R&D میں سرمایہ کاری کر کے ایسا کیا 🔻

صرف یہی نہیں نیدرلینڈ تین ارب ڈالرز سے زائد کے صرف دنیا میں پھول بیچ رہا ہے۔
سردیاں شروع ہوتے ہی پاکستان میں انڈوں کا قحط پڑ جاتا ہے اور انڈوں کی قیمتیں آسمان سے باتیں کرتی ہیں
یہی نیدرلینڈ دنیا کو پانچ سو ملین ڈالر کے انڈے سپلائی کر رہا ہے، جو کہ اوپر چارٹ میں دکھایا گیا ہے 🔻

To collect toddy from a single coconut tree, a labourer has to climb up the tree at least 270 times. But SAPER brings down this number to two; once for installation and once to dismantle.

"I came to sell tomatoes in Lagos o, our farmers harvested a lot more"
This is to our CEO @EjeUka uka wey no come Lagos to count bridge and always rolls up his sleeves, gets in the grind and understand how local food markets work.
He recently took a tour of Mile 12 International Market after selling ours from the farms to connect with the pulse of the Lagos tomato market, find gaps to plug and all things in between to capture new opportunities that create increased value for our farmers.
This is all that makes us tick! Innovating for the farmers and doing even more!

Many still hold up the thought that farming is traditional and picture it as an activity for the old folks in the villages and their children🙄
Some are quick to shut down the idea of "becoming a farmer", because they believe "carrying hoe and Cutlass" is not befitting of a certain social status they've acquired😳
The only reason anyone will still think this way, is either of these two reasons;
1) they've not heard of Thrive Agric
2) they're sleeping on us 🤦
