Challenges Faced By Small Holder Farmers In Uganda And How They Can Be Addressed

Scope of action:
Local communities:
Places: ,

The view on productive agriculture as critical for employment creation and poverty reduction is now widely shared within the development regions in Uganda especially among the smallholder farmers. Being a smallholder farmer undoubtedly means to be part of the driving force that provides the basis for economies in developing communities such as Uganda in the east African community. Although coffee and tea are the main cash crop in east Africa, smallholder farmers are illogically not benefiting at all from these relatively rich industries since they are farmers who mainly farm on small scale for home consumption (small scall producers) and the crops include cash crops and subsistence farming. Commodities like cocoa, coffee, tea, cotton and food crops like maize, bananas, millet, cassava, beans are primarily produced by smallholder farmers in Uganda however “smallholders” face a lot challenges.
