In Episode 14 of the Inside Growth podcast, Diale Tilo, Executive Director of the Kgodiso Development Fund with over 25 years of experience in farmer development, consulting, and banking, explores the massive economic potential of South Africa’s food sector, where households spend approximately R1.1 trillion annually.
Tilo discusses how entrepreneurs can build successful businesses by solving real consumer problems, drafting their own business plans to fully understand operations, and assembling collaborative teams to leverage diverse expertise.
Additionally, he outlines Kgodiso’s loan funding criteria, which target black-owned food enterprises with an annual turnover of R1 million or more, evaluating applicants based on leadership experience, financial health, and the capacity to responsibly manage debt and costs.
