Tackling food insecurity
COMING from a family of farmers, Seniren Naidoo has not only followed the same path, but also added his personal touch by producing the much-loved amaranth, commonly known as “red or green herbs”.
Naidoo, 31, of Isnembe, said he currently grew a variety of herbs such as red and green amaranth and sugar cane, as well as mint and coriander, and sold thousands of bunches to supermarkets in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng weekly.
He also grows an array of vegetables, such as broccoli, green beans, cauliflower, kale, and spinach on his family’s nine-hectare farm.
