Government has partnered with One Acre Fund (OAF) to front macadamia nuts to farmers as part of poverty alleviation strategies in Busoga Sub-region.
Jinja District Production Officer Dr Tom Kasadha says government set aside three strategic commercial crops including Hass avocado, macadamia and cashew nuts.
However, macadamia and Hass avocado have been specifically earmarked for Busoga Sub-region.
Dr Kasadha made these remarks as Jinja District Principal Assistant Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Alamanzan Kakaire handed over 14,000 macadamia seedlings to OAF on behalf of the government.
“We are supposed to be promoting macadamia by mobilising farmers but are happy that OAF has come in handy to mobilise them,” Dr Kasadha said on September 23.
