The Minister of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF) who also doubles as the MP for Kibale East County in Kamwenge District, Hon. Frank Tumwebaze, has called on Ugandans with unutilized land to engage in farming aggressively.
The Minister said this after visiting his friend and a progressive dairy farmer, Eng. Elias Mugisha Arjman in Janda-Zirobwe , Luwero.
He thanked him for being passionate about farming and for adopting modern methods of intensive commercial farming.
The Minister continues to encourage all of you, fellow Ugandans with unutilized land, to put it into use by engaging in one or two enterprises depending on land size. People owning land within or near urban settings can even get much better rewards because of higher demand. Milk, eggs, piggery, and vegetables are in high demand and most if not all bring in daily income. And they can all be done on intensive scale within small plots of land.
“Let’s produce and earn,” the Minister concluded.
