I'd like to know more about Juta AgriTech as well and, you know, take the opportunity for you to tell us a bit more about your company and Maybe speaking more towards what Juta AgriTech is doing to bridge the gap between the technological innovations such as drone technology and, you know, as you said, emerging farmers or small scale farmers.

Thulani MagidaGUEST
I must confess that we are still in the process of licensing and the process of the drones.

Thulani MagidaGUEST
Like I had mentioned earlier, it's a little bit lengthy and it's quite costly.

Thulani MagidaGUEST
And on the other hand, I'm also running a consulting business, which currently takes a lot of cash flow.

Thulani MagidaGUEST
I'm trying to fund the farming business so that it can fund the drone business while I'm still busy licensing.

Thulani MagidaGUEST
So that is one of the challenges we're currently having, currently licensing the business.

And, you know, I'm curious to know what are you most excited to see with the adoption of drone technology, especially for South African, like, you know, Black South African farmers who are still emerging, what excites you about drone technology being more commonly used?
