How a Young Farmer Started Supplying Large Supermarkets

Julius Maboloka is a 36-year-old farmer from Lesotho who is now supplying vegetables to large supermarket chains across Lesotho and neighboring South Africa. Julius, who inherited a passion for farming from his parents, started out farming in the open field and used to face challenges due to unreliable weather conditions and scarce water resources. He was eventually able to expand and sustain his business thanks to a grant from the Smallholder Agriculture Development Project (SADP). Through the SADP, which is supported by the World Bank, 55,000 farmers across four districts in Lesotho applied for and won public grants which have helped them increase their competitiveness and have better access to markets.

This is excellent. I am pleased to hear he got a grant to extend his farming capabilities. He love what he does and that's beautiful to see. Food; good food is medicine. God bless your farming business and you and your family.

Reason why land reforms are very essential in South Africa to give young men like him a chance for self improvement and nation building.

[@SammyNdlovu1212]

Is Harare a country?? Why not just say in Zimbabwe??

[@mayar3869]

We have the land in Africa so why not farm?

This is great, I am curious though. Why are cabbages so huge. Are these organic?

[@MajimeTV]

The typical cabbage you see in grocery stores are picked early so that they can survive long transportation routes and are bred to contain qualities for storage. These cabbages dont travel very far so they let them grow big. Drip irrigation helps feed the plant water constantly, increasing the yield. Have you never seen a cabbage in the dirt growing?

A moment of silence for the white farmers and the families murdered in south africa for these "land reforms"........

Not enough theiving racist settlers were sent to their maker or encouraged to go back where they originated. It is a great pity
