This has improved my knowledge of different crops/ agriculture enterprises as I have been exposed to Sugar cane management, orchards management as well as vegetable production as well as seedlings production and management. It is also worth mentioning that this improved my ability to adapt in different areas in a short space of time as I have been to Richmond, Stanger and Pietermaritzburg within three years. The working environment has improved my communication skills, working with the team and leading the team, planning for short term, medium and long term goals, as well as forecasting. The ability to be creative, innovate, commit and result driven. PERSONAL PROFILE
