The whole idea started like a play with my friends. We were in an agro conference early this year, discussing the challenge of feeding the worlds teeming population of about 7 billion people and meeting Africa’s 30 billion dollar food challenge, then, I turned to my friends and said sarcastically we can plant online, and Eureka a novel venture started, called virtual farm.

A few words about your competitors
My competitors majorly use websites to give information about their products or farms, and don’t use it for online farming. Only one competitor uses it for online farming but in his platform you harvest your crops after 7 month, his operation is only in the north of Nigeria, he does not use hydroponic farm system, and his price is too costly, hence detering young people from accessing it.
