Well, from info online:

Good day fellas, I want to take u guys on my journey of preaching good Agronomic practices in farming.

On the 14th of August, I took the soil sample of the abandoned field, I did the test myself because I have a soil testing kit, I found out that the soil ia deficient in Nitrogen, so I am set.

On the 15th of August, i started planting. 4 cups of pure sesame seed ( ncriben 04e ) was planted with the help of some young kids in my area.

I used dibbling method because the land was strong. Some boiz done turn am to football field grin


Good Day OP please I will love to learn more about sesame farming.

He must be prepared to take market share from the existing supplier to get returns from his investment.

In the movie, the billionaire investor noted that Burger King was getting their supplies from Brazil and one other country which I can't remember for now. He also noted that an invent would cause the growth of sesame seeds in those two countries to suffer setbacks in the coming year, and found out from his research that Indonesia would,in the next year, produce a huge amount or sesame seeds at a ridiculously cheaper amount of money.

The billionaire doesn't directly develop companies. He is an investor. He would probably identify a competent company in Indonesia that will know exactly how to get the contract from Burger King, and he would invest in that company (so they can buy crops, fertilizers, pesticides, machines, labour, corporate costs, etc.).

The essence of that scene is to teach how angel investors, think, spot and identify opportunities.

How easy is it to sell the seeds and how can you make them very clean? I bought some local sesame seeds from the market and they were very dirty and full of stones compared to the foreign ones.
