Also, capital and land access, the difficulty of inheriting tacit knowledge from one generation to the next, the traditional dependence on a small number of intermediaries for market access, and so on, are solved not by even more consolidation but rather by small operators reaching cooperative scale through shared digital infrastructure. For example, our drone agricultural service platform brings together 90 small operators who share equipment, certify pilots and compliance records. None of them could individually afford the equipment or meet the regulatory burden, but together they reach this horizontal scaling that, previously, only large agribusinesses could. I would offer that the state’s role is not to pick national champions but to subsidize the freedom to choose. Thank you.
