“In every crisis, if you look carefully, you will spot an opportunity. My insistence is on finding and seizing that opportunity. I never try to side-step a crisis.

“The way to improve productivity is not to bring in experts to talk about inputs - seed, equipment and materials, pesticides or water supply.

If such a structure is erected, the producers will then seek the inputs and materials they need to increase their production and productivity.”
