ECOM TRADING service delivery and its product offering . With around 140,000 farmers currently working both directly and indirectly with ECOM , and on the back of considerable growth , what does the future hold ?
Muzzammil points to 2020 as a key target year .
“ Of those 140,000 , we ’ ve only been able to scale around 30,000 farmers on a full-time basis ,” he says . “ Our aspirations are to get all farmers in our farmer base , get there by 2020 . Our goal has always been the same , to enrich the lives of the farmers in Ghana which in turn will allow the country to grow and the economy to improve . And we will achieve this by increasing our product offering , our service delivery and continue our incredible work with our farmers .”
In the end , as Rahul notes , ECOM will always strive to deliver on its vision of rural prosperity .
“ There is an adage in commodity training that says volume is vanity , profits are sanity ”, says Rahul . “ For ECOM , we believe that prosperity has to be a reality – there ’ s no way we can provide without having that for our farmers .”
