# Background

Why Cannabis?

* Cannabis is one of the fastest growing sectors in South Africa
* Building in a third world country is a lot more affordable
* This leads to massive return on investment (ROI) potential
* It recently became very easy to obtain a hemp license
* This paves the way for massive opportunity as a mid to long term investment

To start off, the business will be built on our family farm to do it as affordable as possible

Early bird catches the worm, the time to get into the industry is now!
