Dropout Who Became an Oil Palm Processing Powerhouse

Meet Agnes — a determined farmer who transformed her life through rice and oil palm farming and palm oil processing. Financial hardship forced Agnes to drop out of school. She married young and became a mother, but she refused to give up. Starting small on her family's land, she built her way up to running a profitable agribusiness, processing and selling palm oil at strong profits. Today, Agnes has gone from having nothing to do at home to leading a thriving enterprise. Her message to young people: take up farming, and turn away from unproductive paths.
