There has been unprecedented public interest in the agriculture sector lately, thanks to a deliberate media campaign to highlight the benefits that accrue from the sector. This is a positive trend because agriculture is the backbone of Uganda’s economy. It is not only the larest employer, but at the sametime the most underexploited and poorly managed sector, which, if well- handled, will turn around the fortunes of Uganda.
This renewed interest has been exemplified by the doves of people attending the National Agricultural Trade Show in Jinja town. While the curiosity is palpable, it must be harnessed by the policy makers and all stakeholders in order to yield actual dividends to the economy.
