Comment on contract farming

During the first year one hundred farmers will have their ground leveled by a mechanical ripper with 1 meter spacing intervals. Inputs such as fertilizers, herbicides, equipment and seeds will be provided and the consequent training. Increase the farmers on a monthly basis until it reaches 250,000 farmers.
