Prano Holdings is a mixed farming enterprise run by Prayer Mathebula.

Comprising a piggery and field crops, Prano recently opened a fast-food eatery as a strategic outlet for the farm’s produce.

“From this programme I have learned a lot of things. I have been able to expand. I am even now planning on opening another business. It helped me to know exactly what business is and I am excited about my future.”

Through the investment Prano has doubled its field crop space from 1 to 2 hectares, added needed irrigation systems to secure water supply and expanded the piggery. As well as bought equipment for his new fast-food outlet.

Prayer’s increase in production is expected to increase his turnover per cycle by 66%
