“The show will run for three days, from August 6 to 8, and will provide a platform for farmers and entrepreneurs to learn from experts while creating business linkages,” she added.
Mukono District is set to host the second edition of its annual agricultural show, a three-day event aimed at promoting modern farming practices, value addition and market access for local farmers.
The agricultural exhibition will take place at the Kyampisi Sub-county headquarters from August 6 to 8, bringing together agricultural experts, input suppliers, agribusiness entrepreneurs and farmers from across the district.
According to Kyampisi Sub-county Chief Harriet Luzira Namatovu, this year’s show, to be hosted at Kyampisi sub-county headqaurters will feature companies dealing in certified pesticides, acaricides, seeds and seedlings, giving farmers an opportunity to access genuine agricultural inputs amid growing concerns over counterfeit products on the market.
“We are organizing this second edition of the agricultural show to promote value addition and improve farming practices. This time, we are also focusing on beneficiaries of the Parish Development Model (PDM), many of whom have started small-scale enterprises and are adding value to their agricultural produce,” Namatovu said.
She noted that PDM beneficiaries will be given exhibition space to showcase their products, interact with potential buyers and expand their markets.
“The show will run for three days, from August 6 to 8, and will provide a platform for farmers and entrepreneurs to learn from experts while creating business linkages,” she added.
Like the inaugural edition, this year’s exhibition will also feature schools showcasing students’ innovations and project work developed under the new lower secondary curriculum.
Students pursuing agriculture and business studies will have the opportunity to engage with experienced professionals and exhibitors throughout the event, enabling them to gain practical knowledge and insights into agribusiness and modern farming technologies.
Organizers say the exhibition is expected to strengthen agricultural productivity, encourage value addition and connect farmers with reliable suppliers and potential markets, contributing to improved household incomes across Mukono District.
