The Kgodiso Development Fund, an independent fund founded by PepsiCo, aims to transform the South African agricultural landscape by developing a new generation of sustainable farming enterprises. It aspires to empower black farmers through funding, business development, and increased access to the market. 

The Development Fund and Standard Bank have partnered with Grains SA to finance black emerging farmers through the Grain SA Farmer Development Programme. One of the beneficiaries of this programme is Lethiwe Mthethwa, a female farmer, based in KwaZulu-Natal.
