In South Africa's Mpumalanga fields, a quiet revolution is underway — and women farmers are leading it
Summary. Twenty-five women farmers in South Africa's Mpumalanga province have transformed their operations through a targeted agricultural and business training programme funded by the African Development Bank and partners. Equipped with digital tools, mentorship, and financial literacy training, these farmers now supply major retailers, school feeding schemes, and luxury lodges, creating 66 new jobs and demonstrating how structured support enables rural women to access formal markets and build sustainable enterprises.
