We are looking at other products they can do to support the young people and to develop that value chain from agro-processing. At the end of the day we want them to have money,\u201d said the YERF Officer.<\/p>\n<p>He added that there is a vision for WFF to develop a school at Sidvokodvo for climate-adaptive agriculture training. He also added that they are planning to expand what they are already doing as an organisation, such as promoting market linkages for agriculture entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis Majesty spoke about how he wants Emaswati to be billionaires, so we want some of these young people to also feature in lists like the Forbes 30 under 30,\u201d said the WFF rep when emphasising the importance of economic viability for the youth entrepreneurs who will be supported under the partnership by the two organisations.<\/p>\n<p>The MoU is aimed at promoting food security and the development of agriculture value chains through capacitation and training, especially for climate-adaptive agricultural practices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
