Transcript:

The one word that immediately springs to mind about what we've been through is perseverance.

So many challenges, but challenges are an opportunity to grow.

Our company's background is very much attached to a history of commodities and commodities projects on the African continent.

There's incredible agronomy where we have access to, we're coupling that with incredibly farming talent from South Africa, and I look forward to continuing to develop and utilizing the access that the Nasdaq capital markets can bring into introducing capital into the African market.

We're focused on the environmental enhancement, we’re stopping desertification of the Sahara Desert, we're turning desert into farmland, into food security systems, into job creation.

We are focused on profits and shareholder value, but we are doing it in a meaningful way to the sustainability approach for the next century.
