A resilient female farmer in KZN has opened up about her decision to choose agriculture despite holding a degree in chemical engineering and dental assisting.

Welile Gumede has faced many obstacles with her enterprise, with flooding requiring her to make drastic changes to her business“The reason I started farming was because I couldn’t find work as a chemical engineer. I then decided to create an income for myself and my family by starting a farming business.

“I previously employed more than 30 staff members pre-floods. Since rebuilding in Camperdown, I have 10 permanent employees, six students, and created 20 indirect jobs through construction and other services at the farm.”However, Welile still wants to expand her skillset and turn her farm into an empire:

“I want to get into agro-processing and the retail side of the business. I want to be part of the value chain from the garden to your table.”You are already subscribed to our newsletter!Check your inbox to be the first to know the hottest news
