The Ugandan Government Plans To Increase Oil Seed Production Through the National Agricultural Advisory Service

Through the National Agricultural Advisory Service (NAADS), the Ugandan government has allocated USD 2.36M to support a strategic intervention to increase production of oil seed crops. The move will see not only an increase in production but also an improvement in quality as new post-harvest handling facilities will be constructed in the growing areas. The intervention will be implemented through partnerships with farmer groups and cooperatives.
