Agriculture is the major source of livelihood in Kapchorwa district, Bukwo district as well
as Kween District. The main source of cash income is sale of crops and livestock. Common
crops include coffee, banana, maize, beans, wheat, Irish and sweet potatoes.
This project is intended to ensure that local farmers within Masaka Region stock their
maize harvests in groups in a good-storage facility, which can then attract market for it if
stocked in both large quantity and quality. As Masaka Entrepreneurship Association,
we are concerned about improving the quality of agricultural produce from farmers in our
region, Masaka Region in particular and our intervention looks at providing these farmers
with well built up farm produce-store where they can store their produce for a long time in
anticipation of good market.
Subsequent wetting from rain destroy between 54% and 60% of local farmers’ produce in
Masaka Region. This occurs because traditional stores are severely damaged by the
The resulting economic instability for smallholder farmers has kept the country from
reaching its economic potential. The project team aims to ameliorate the situation by
providing hermetically sealed (air-tight) sacks, and buying dried produce from farmers at
a competitive price. Masaka Entrepreneurship Association will then store the maize and
sell it at peak market price; our team will then use the profits to expand the business.
Small holder farmers in Masaka Region incur losses in the farm and at post harvest through
poor handling in the farm, transit and in the store. The farmers in Masaka Region also lack
capacity and facilities to prevent such losses. The project will explore to establish what
capacities needed, evaluate the cost and benefits of the household vs. central storage
facilities establishment.
