Shownotes

Eastern Cape commercial vegetable farmer and Bayi Holdings founder Inga Qeja shares how a spinach harvest during the Covid-19 lockdown sparked his journey into commercial farming. He reflects on building his business from the ground up, expanding into multiple crops, and overcoming major setbacks, including crop losses and infrastructure failures.

Drawing inspiration from the book “Think and Grow Rich”, Inga speaks on resilience and the reality that agriculture demands persistence over profit. He also highlights his commitment to mentoring rural farmers through knowledge-sharing and local initiatives.
