The Ugandan agriculture ministry (MAAIF) has lifted a ban on meat sales in Kampala, initially imposed on March 1, 2024, due to a Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreak. The decision was made after the MAAIF technical team confirmed that the disease was localised and the affected livestock had been treated and were under strict surveillance.
