PS Nutraceuticals aims to ensure food security and public health through its smart farms initiative. Investors can purchase units to fund the setup of aeroponic farms growing yams or Irish potatoes. The farms are managed by PS Nutraceuticals and are expected to generate high returns within 1 year. Initial farms will be established in Nigeria with the goal of expanding trade both within Africa and globally. The initiative aims to boost agricultural efficiency, yields, and food availability through innovative farming technologies.

The global population is experiencing a significant upsurge. People are leaving rural areas en masse
and migrating to urban areas in search of gainful employment.
According to statistics, by 2050, 66% of the world’s population is expected to live in cities, fueling
significant demand for food. Explosive population growth, both rural and urban, will require 50 to 60
percent increases in global food production by 2050 in order to meet demand.
Nigeria is not exempt from this forecasted trend. By all estimates, Nigeria is set to experience
explosive population growth by 2050 with an estimated population of 391 million, making it the 4th
most populous nation in the world after India, China, and the United States.
How to feed the growing global population in spite of limited arable land and the strain on
fresh water sources, is a critical issue that must be addressed. The current agricultural methods
practiced globally are outdated and
cannot meet rising global food demands.

Smart farming is a concept whereby modern disruptive technologies are applied to the
agricultural sector in order to foster more food production as well as improve upon food quality.
We hosted a seminar in Lagos on the 8th of April whereby we showcased our Smart Farms
concept, what it entails and how people can partake in the concept.

Through our initiative we will increase the efficiency of crop production, drastically reduce the
harmful impact that commercial farming has on the environment and save 95% more water.
Our farms will be equipped with both wireless sensor networks and environmental modelling to
facilitate optimal growth and healthier growth of our crops. With this farmers will be able to
monitor and control vital inputs such as the amount of water and nutrients applied to plants.
Farmers will also have the ability using their smart phones and devices to remotely monitor their
systems, crops and livestock as well as receive statistical analysis and predictions.
We ensure that our farms are:
• Healthy environment for farmers to work in
• The food produced is healthy for the consumer
• In no way detrimental to the environment
• Provide a source of income
• Ensure food security

6. F O O D S E C U R I T Y Smart

Food security is absolutely paramount to our organization because it ensures that:
 food is available irrespective of season,
 food is accessible,
 food is affordable and
 food is consistent.
Thus to achieve this, we will ensure that growers have the ability to precisely
monitor and control applications of water and nutrients to plants in these
production settings, based upon daily plant requirements. Farmers can use their
smartphones to remotely monitor their equipment, crops, and livestock, as well as
obtain stats on their livestock feeding and produce.
They can even use this technology to run statistical predictions for their crops and
livestock.

7. A E R O P O N I C T E C H N O L O G Y Smart

In addition to the use of ICT, we will be using aeroponic systems in the growing of our crops. Aeroponic is a way of
growing plants in the air, without the use of soil such that the roots are in a misty environs.
The advantages of this method include:
• Automated systems which delivers nutrients directly to the plant roots
• Completely programmable technology conserves energy
• Closed-loop system conserves water by 98% through runoff absorption into roots and recycled water usage.
• Moisture control for better plant growth, thus reducing time to harvest e.g. tomatoes in a month instead of 3 months in soil.
• Crops are easier to harvest in the absence of soil and higher density crops optimizes output
• Produces higher quality food (higher phytochemicals, antioxidants & flavonoids) in a controlled environment
• Reduced risk of disease and pest infestation in a controlled environment and the elimination of use of pesticides and fungicides
• Roots are better exposed to oxygen
• Scalable systems can range from commercial level to apartment-sized gardens and produces more food with less effort (as we can take advantage
of the vertical space).
With Smarts Farm:
• Total control of the crop, as we are able to produce more food, higher returns with less input
• Farms can be monitored remotely by investors through their smart phones
• Technical staffs can control farm operations through their phones
• Bring city to remote villages thus reducing rural-urban migration
• Increase food quality, ensure food security and generate income

According to the World Bank, “The world needs to produce at least 50% more
food to feed 9 billion people by 2050. But climate change could cut crop yields
by more than 25%. The land, biodiversity, oceans, forests, and other forms of
natural capital are being depleted at unprecedented rates. Unless we change
how we grow our food and manage our natural capital, food security—
especially for the world’s poorest—will be at risk.”

OUR INVESTMENT APPORACH
Our focus is on building premium & cash crops Smart Farms with investors’ money exhibiting sustainable earnings per share
(EPS) growth, high quality attributes and sensible valuations. What this distils down to is the proposition that Smart Farms equals
superior return with lower risk.
EMPHASIS ON SUSTAINABLE EARNINGS
We believe strong earnings per share growth has a positive effect on a company’s long-term share price performance. Accordingly,
we choose crops which we know has high economic value and demand and can be used for a wide range of things, in addition to
forming the core of food in different regions and cultures
FAVOURING QUALITY LOCATIONS
In choosing a location to establish Smart Farms, we ensure the region has first-class assets, proven agricultural management,
prudent environment, social and corporate governance policies and transparent land policies. Regions with these attributes often
outperform their peers and generate superior returns.
DIVERSIFICATIONS
A portfolio that is well diversified across a wide number of agriculture types, geographies, market capitalizations and along the
agricultural value chain reduces risk. Rarely do all agriculture or parts of the value chain reach their highs and lows
simultaneously. Thus we are starting with Yam and Irish potatoes, we shall include more crops such as Tomatoes, Strawberry,
lettuce, apple etc.

ON-THE-GROUND RESEARCH
We have successfully tried our technology (aeroponic, hydroponic, aquaponic) with 200 crops before making
decision on which crops to begin with.
STRICTLY DEFINED INVESTMENT UNIVERSE
To ensure no lapses, every crop in the farm stands alone thus an investor can decide to pick a crop or group of
crops to invest per time. There are also multiple investments opportunities available for every chosen crop.
AGRICULTURE IS HIGHLY SPECIALIZED
PSN is in the forefront of Agricultural technology in Nigeria, thus we are constantly recruiting or partnering
with research institutes or organizations or universities to ensure the best of available practices is used for
profit maximization.
COMPLEMENTS EXISTING PORTFOLIOS’ EMERGING MARKETS AND GLOBAL
EQUITY ALLOCATIONS
We ensure we keep pace with the rest of the world so we do not focus on crops not needed for the export
market as we aim to ensure our crops are not just locally accepted but globally preferred
