02.01.02 Justification de la contribution de ma startup

Malawi strongly depends on agriculture mostly people in rural areas, the movement of goods at a cheaper rate despite economic challenges helps the farmer/growers to meet the daily needs by moving goods to consumers at a friendly rate charge. therefore the transportation sector in my way can end not soon but gradually the hardship of earning a certain profit to the low income earners.

I strongly for hunger to end, but the my prospective hunger cannot completely end but it can be reduced to a certain percentage for instance in the transport sector in countries that are low developed or developing countries movement of goods especially consumable foods like vegetable , fish or/and beef are needed from farmers to consumers, the question how?. Well farmers grow there produce for them to earn incomes and also for there benefit , for example a farmers grows tobacco and the tobacco will need to move from the rural part to where it will be sold such as auctions. thereafter the transport cost will be added on the tobacco to reach its final destination , when all is proceed the farmers earns the income from what was produced simply by how the produced moved from one location to another therefore the farmer will have certain things to help his home similar on how the produce was shipped. Hence the transport sector plays a role in transforming livelihoods.
