𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝘁 is 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿!

𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝘁 (𝗣𝗠𝗙) is when you can reliably locate, promote, deliver, and maintain customers coming back.

Here’s a simple breakdown of how to connect your product with customers, which includes two types of fit and four main pillars:

1. 𝗚𝗼-𝘁𝗼-𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝘁
- 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲: Can you get in front of your ideal customers consistently? This involves choosing and using the right methods to reach and engage people. For example, getting web traffic to your homepage or securing a meeting for sales discussions.
- 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗲: Are you able to regularly close deals? This means picking the best sales approach and crafting compelling offers. For online businesses, it might be about turning a visitor into a subscriber, while for traditional sales, it could involve getting a contract signed.

2. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺-𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝗶𝘁
- 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿: Can you help customers quickly see the value of your product? Whether through self-service options, personalized assistance, or partnerships, your delivery model should get customers up and running smoothly.
- 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻: Do customers stay with you? This is about having the right support in place to help customers succeed and grow with your product.

Statement of “Having a few customers means achieved PMF” 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴!
True PMF requires these operations to be repeatable and efficient. We encourage startups to apply this framework and be honest about their progress in each area to really achieve PMF.

This is why 𝗡𝗜𝗖𝗛𝗘 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁! 🚨

Many startups fail because they either 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗲 or 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺.

Being too broad can put your business at risk of failing early on. It’s very important to focus on a specific area or niche, no matter what industry you’re in.

Here are three easy tips to help you excel in your niche:
- Be passionate about what you do.
- Know who your ideal customers are.
- Make sure you’re meeting a need.

🚨 The End of Agriculture in Indonesia? 🚨

The agricultural landscape in Indonesia is facing unprecedented challenges. Every year, 100,000 hectares of fertile land are converted into housing and factories, leaving only 13.9% of the land fertile. This alarming statistic places Indonesia 166th in the world for fertile land availability. 🌱🏭

🚜 Farmers' Plight

- 1 Million farmers leave the profession annually.
- 97% of farmers' children do not wish to follow in their parents' footsteps.
- Controlled by a few powerful players, small-scale farmers struggle with unfair pricing and outdated farming methods.

🌾 Why Has Farming Lost Its Appeal?

- Low Earnings
- Market Volatility
- Low Social Status
- Large Investment Requirements
- Slow Tech Adoption

It's evident that while rice is a staple food for Indonesians, contributing significantly to national expenditure with over 80% of households consuming it, the farmers who cultivate this essential crop remain impoverished.

🔍 The Statistics Tell a Story

- 85% of farmers don't use the internet, limiting their access to valuable information and technology that could enhance productivity and profitability.

💰 Financial Information
📅 Planting Schedules
🚜 Farm Equipment Data
🧬 Genetic Information

In November 2020, a ransomware attack hit a US-based global food and agriculture company, demanding $40M in ransom. The attackers used phishing emails to breach their systems. 📧💸

Your farm needs protection:
✅ Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
📚 Employee Training and Awareness
🔍 Regular Security Audits
