Young farmers keeping up faith like potatoes

South Africa’s hottest agricultural podcast is back with a bang! This week we catch up with Nezisa Sogoni, a business school and IT graduate turned poultry farmer. In our entrepreneurship slot, agricultural economist Lunathi Hlakanyane talks about the role street vendors play in social distancing food retail in Mzansi as we continue to tackle the covid-19 pandemic. We are inspired by Farmers Choice founder Andile Matukane, who is also known as “the Spinach Lady”. This week farmers have selected “Vusi: Business & life lessons from a black dragon” by author Vusi Thembekwayo as their book of the week. Dr Johnny van der Merwe is also back with the weekly AMT Fresh Produce Outlook on the market, analysing the latest fruit and vegetable prices.
