Innovative Farmers in the Industry

I trust that this video gives some idea of how the masterplan (industry growth plan) is bringing together various constituents with one aim and that is to positively impact our farmers and give hope.The industry, through a massive investment commitment, created a new market for players like Phetogo Farms to expand.It also wants to introduce you to those leaders like Tumi that not only invested in his farm but also his community and serve the industry at large. I trust that this video will take your perception of the masterplan (industry growth plan) from a piece of paper to showcase the magnitude of the impact at a farm and personal level.

Kind Regards, Izaak
