Some “omuntu wa wansi” still wonder what NARO does. Today, through the Breeders’ Royalties Awards, we take the opportunity to showcase NARO’s tangible impact on the lives of Ugandans. NARO develops improved seed varieties and agricultural technologies, which are then licensed to seed multiplication companies and plant breeders. These partners multiply and distribute the seeds, ensuring farmers across the country can access high-quality, improved varieties. So, the next time you purchase improved seed, remember—it is the result of years of dedicated research and hard work by NARO scientists. Today @NARO_NaCRRI , we proudly recognise and reward our scientists for the royalties earned from their innovations—a testament to their dedication, ingenuity, and lasting contribution to transforming Uganda’s agriculture. @GovUganda @FrankTumwebazek @MAAIF_Uganda @URSBHQ
