President Yoweri Museveni has appealed to Ugandans to embrace the wealth creation campaign and join the money economy.
He said Uganda is now a land of surplus in maize, sugar, milk, bananas, eggs and other products.
However, the President regretted that there is still a section of 30% of households living in poverty & outside the money economy. He said this group works only for the stomach. #GCICMediaReview#OpenGovUg
Driving Uganda’s transformation through mechanised agriculture
@MSCuganda has handed over tractors to 209 members of Goli Goli Subcounty Groundnuts Farmers & Processors Cooperative and 91 members of Busige Bakuseka Majja SACA under the LEGS Project—accelerating productivity, boosting household incomes, and advancing wealth creation through SACCOs & Associations.
"This support is a game-changer for our members. With mechanisation, we are increasing productivity, strengthening our Association, and creating sustainable wealth for our communities," — Sajja Edward, Chairperson, Busige Bakuseka Majja Association.
"This investment empowers our farmers and processors to scale production, add value, and improve livelihoods. It is a strong step towards transforming our cooperative into a driver of local economic growth," — Nakayinga Margeret, Chairperson, Goli Goli Subcounty Groundnuts Farmers & Processors Cooperative Society LTD.
