Nothing makes a leader more proud than having competent people around him! Waking up daily to the unprecedented dynamics of the Nigerian economic and political system isn't easy for any founder, especially in the agritech space where these challenges are compounded by climate change, insurgencies, and global events. Being surrounded by a team that helps navigate the complexities of daily unexpectedness is such a blessing. I remain incredibly proud of all the Marshalls at Afrimash—the invaluable advisors, resilient managers, and diligent team members. In H1 of 2024, we also achieved remarkable milestones. From deploying productive use equipment to rural areas to forming strategic partnerships, the dedication of the Marshalls has been unwavering. A highlight is the ChickSmart Project, supported by Acumen, aimed at eliminating adulteration in the day-old chicks supply chain. This initiative has already shown great traction. Personal stories of resilience, like when our Programmes team ingeniously generated demand for productive use equipment in off-network, off-Internet remote places, remind me daily of the incredible talent we have. We finished H1 of 2024 with smiles on our faces and are geared up for the opportunities ahead in H2. Nothing explains this better than the words of Ken Blanchard, which every Marshall echoes regularly: “No one of us is as smart as all of us.”

𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗴'𝘀 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 As I look closely at Bandag's (Bridgestone Australia Ltd.) storied success, it's more than just a narrative of a company's triumph. It's a testimony to strategic foresight, a steadfast pledge to excellence, and an unshakeable dedication to sustainability that many firms could emulate. Bandag has masterfully balanced environmental consideration with economic success. Opting for quality that equals new tyres, their niche is as profitable as it is planet-friendly. Their production methods, sparing in raw materials and energy, stand as a beacon for environmental responsibility, insulating them from the unpredictable tides of global markets. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗴’𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆? 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 sits at the heart of Bandag's ethos, with their embrace of retreading and cutting-edge technology affirming their market lead. Their 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 don't just honour the environment, they carve out a competitive edge that resonates with today’s environmentally conscious shopper. Compromising on quality isn’t in Bandag's vocabulary. Their 𝘂𝗻𝘄𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 foster deep customer trust and an esteemed brand image. 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 is key. Bandag's distinction as the remaining tread facility in Australia underscores their versatility in an ever-changing industry. Despite their global expansion, Bandag's roots remain firmly planted in local soil, demonstrating that global reach and local integrity can coexist. Bandag’s journey serves as a powerful reminder that success is a tapestry woven from core values and continuous innovation.

High energy, strategic approach to decision making and most importantly, a capable team of professionals – our CEO Marius Vasiliauskas shares into the success of SCANDAGRA’s exceptional growth. “We expanded 10 times in 10 years – from about 70 million per annum to around 700 million per annum. Company growth has been one of our key objectives over the last decade. Albeit we naturally increased our market share, to take the company to the next level took more collective effort than expected. There were difficult changes we had to make, including changes in our business management team, systems and processes. As a result, our competence and capabilities improved.” - shares Marius Vasiliauskas, #Scandagra CEO. When asked “what are the key predictors of company development”, Marius Vasiliauskas replied “Today we are already among the biggest agriculture companies in Lithuania. However, we cannot remain in the status quo – in our pursuit to the top, we have to strive forward. It is also important to remember that progress must be consistent with our long-term goals. I can state that strong emphasis on strategy, systematic goal approach, and cohesiveness are the driving forces for our success. Yet most importantly, it is the people who form the backbone of our business, their overall competence and dedication that led to excellent results."   Read more at the link in the comments. #scandagra #agribusiness

#GLOBALSOUTHALERT: #MORTGAGEE (TYPICALLY A LENDER SUCH AS A #BANK) NOT A #TRUSTEE FOR THE #MORTGAGOR (#BORROWER) –"It is well settled that a mortgagee is not a trustee of a power of sale for the mortgagor. Once the power has accrued, the mortgagee is entitled to exercise it for his own purposes whenever he chooses to do so. It matters not that the moment may be unpropitious and that by waiting a higher price could be obtained. He has the right to realize his security by turning it into money when he likes.

Last week was such an incredible trip. I’m a little bit of a nerd so I’ve read a lot about supply nation and indigenous procurement over the ditch but going and being + seeing in person was awesome. Three things I loved: 1.) Seeing the similarities in the way of indigenous businesses. The acknowledgment of manawhenua in place, the guidance by our tupuna and stories, the intergenerational thinking, the focus on social outcomes and using business as a vehicle for a broader purpose. 2.) Seeing where we in Aotearoa can get to. I walked the halls of the Supply Nation Tradeshow and imagined all our businesses. I saw traffic management companies, chocolate companies, PPE gear, cultural capability consultants - all businesses that I know we have here in Aotearoa. 3.) Seeing and connecting with the global Supplier diversity movement. This isn’t an Aotearoa innovation, we have a lot to learn and leverage from our global whanaunga BUT what was so great to see was the multinationals who are leaning in and backing this important kaupapa across the globe. If anyone needs a buddy to go to the Supplier Diversity Conferences further abroad 🙋♀️🙋♀️ #supplierdiversity

Setting ambitious goals for a sustainable future! Tetra Pak TIRCCA Managing Director, Konstantin K., shared our commitment to achieving net zero emissions across all operations by 2030 and throughout our value chain by 2050. Thanks to #Fortune Turkey magazine and Sebla Kutsal @SuleLaleli for the insightful interview and the opportunity. We are decisive in our commitment: Because; climate modelling from 2020 suggests that within half a century about 30% of the world’s projected population will live in places with an average temperature above 29C. Currently, no more than 1% of Earth’s land surface is this hot, and those are mainly uninhabited parts of the Sahara. Act today! #tetrapak
