My name is Mhlangeni and I am a farmer. I grow crops and sell them at the nearby farmers market to raise money to expand my business. My dream is to one day be a large scale commercial farmer who empowers the local community.
I grow vegetables on the farm like tomatoes and green beans. Once our harvest is ripe, we transport it to the market to sell with the goal of expanding our business to supply retail shops and supermarkets and this is why I intend on diversifying our crop variety to include crops that can be sold at scale.
I will buy inputs for the farm to plant and sell once the vegetables have grown. I will earn a profit by selling to marketeers and traders in my community.
We have not yet had a complete shutdown and in Zambia some essential services like selling foodstuffs is allowed. We are practicing social distancing to ensure that we keep ourselves and communities safe.
