Cofounder/CEO We buy cows in the desert and sell them in the city- to date (May 2022) we have kept 39 cows! Our company started on a half acre, but we have grown now to 17 acres. Our Motorking Taxi helps us move around the farm as we grow yam, cocoa, corn, rice, plantain, mango, okra, peanut, and palm. Profitable since year one, we hope to educate young Ghanaians in smart business and data driven decision-making. I have trained 9 employees in ethics, accounting, developing, and technical writing. Together we are working to fulfill our 5 year growth plan (by April 2023). Our current assets are valued over $60,000. Show less
