The Agribusiness Magazine - Vol. 3 Issue 4

En este asunto

In the last 2 decades, the population of the world has doubled but the land available for Agriculture has remained the only constant of all the factors of production. As other factors increase, there is increased pressure onto the constant factor (Land) The implication of this is that Land has become the most scarce resource ever on the planet earth. When the supply of a resource is limited, it becomes inevitable for innovations to maximize productivity, efficiency and effectiveness.

I have interacted with many commercial farmers who have invested in growing crops and or rearing animals and to their disappointment the returns are far less than the expected. This leaves me wondering whether they actually do all things right as technically expected or they keep beating around the bush trying this and that. I have personally made significant investment in a number of enterprises including fruits, dairy, and vegetables and I have been overwhelmed by the returns especially if I follow the advise from the technical experts. I have learnt that agriculture needs technical assistance from experts just like other ventures.

I have also learnt that just like I need an architecture to draw for me a plan for my house and a civil engineer to put up the structure, I equally need an agriculture technician to draw for me a farm business plan and an agronomist to guide me in the journey of farming.

We have therefore identified that most commercial farmers need a session of interaction with the practical experts and thus started the Agribusiness Clinic where we will allow you tell us your story of what you do at your farm and how you do it and we will be able to diagnose the problem and advise you on what you need to improve at your farm in order to start making for you profits. Just get in touch through the address below and get an appointment.

The Agribusiness Magazine Description:

The Agribusiness Magazine exists in order to foster linkages among existing and potential agribusiness value chain actors & connect Uganda’s agricultural sector to the rest of the world. By doing so, we act as a catalyst to the development of Uganda’s agricultural sector. We inform and connect Ugandans in the agriculture sector, business persons, agriculture programs and projects with modern technologies, practices, ideas, and materials (increase Uganda’s human capital).

We create a market place where deals are made on a monthly basis. This helps Ugandans develop independent, vibrant and profitable agribusiness enterprises which lead to increase in investments in agriculture, create more wealth for Ugandans, create employment opportunities and increase on value agribusiness products that will compete in the international markets.
