In the fertile fields of Lumezi District, a quiet transformation is taking root—led by Redson Nkoswe and his brothers, a dynamic team of young agripreneurs who have turned their family dream into a thriving agribusiness. Together, they supply fresh vegetables, fruits, groundnuts, and maize to local markets, earning a reputation for quality, consistency, and entrepreneurial spirit.
Their journey is grounded in unity, ambition, and a shared vision for growth. But like many great stories, it began with a challenge.
In 2022, Redson approached our office with a pressing need: his water pump was failing, jeopardizing the productivity of his garden. With a K5,000 loan, he was able to replace the pump—an investment that became the catalyst for change.
💧 Improved irrigation led to healthier crops and bigger harvests. 💼 The increased yield allowed for reinvestment in better equipment. 🚜 With reinvestment came expansion—and a flourishing business.
Today, Redson’s farm stands as a beacon of resilience and innovation. His story is a powerful reminder that with the right support and unstoppable drive, small beginnings can lead to extraordinary success.
We are proud to support Redson and many other young agripreneurs who are shaping Zambia’s agricultural future. Their efforts are helping secure the nation’s food basket and inspire the next generation of farmers.
