{UAH} Some of the severe challenges faced by our farmers

70% of farming activities in Uganda today is carried out by rural and small holder farmers.

Also 70% of the available food produced locally in Uganda comes from these small holders and peasant farmers.

It is on them that the dominant urban population relies on for its daily food needs.

However farmers face severe and huge challenges in their quest to ensure availability of food in the country.

Some of the severe challenges faced by these farmers which in turn is affecting and threatening food security include;

– Very poor and limited access to Agro Extension services

– Limited access to affordable and sustainable loans

– Very limited access to mechanized equipment; due to high cost of hiring

– Lack of knowledge about market and its economy
