There is more to Keatlegile Mnguni than meets the eye. She’s an agripreneur, food and beverage specialist, and youth chairperson of the African Farmers of South Africa (Afasa).

In this episode of Farmer’s Inside Track, she talks about the many hats she wears with pride. Everything she dives into is a baby, ready to be nurtured “I am a producer – that’s what I love,” Mnguni says.

Currently Mnguni is focusing on her agro-processing business. “As a food and beverage specialist my products mean a lot to me. The agro-processing part of things have really showcased who I am – food and beverage specialist.”

Mnguni also talks about her brand AgriNuri, which focuses on agricultural nourishment. “The whole intention is to really farm and process our produce into different food range products,” she says.

In the episode she also talks about her involvement in the Cheeba Cannabis Academy, how they approach training on cannabis, opportunities for farmers, and markets. She also shares why she believes it is important that new farmers learn from agricultural veterans.

In this episode, Mnguni also discusses:

  • Her journey in the agricultural space;
  • Her love for food and nourishment; and
  • The future of agriculture in Mzansi.

THE NEW FACE OF SOUTH AFRICAN AGRICULTURE

With 21 global awards in the first six years of its existence, Food For Mzansi is much more than an agriculture publication. It is a movement, unashamedly saluting the unsung heroes of South African agriculture. We believe in the power of agriculture to promote nation building and social cohesion by telling stories that are often overlooked by broader society.
