The Advantages of Organic Farming and Agriculture in Uganda by Shannie Miiro of DDSL

Shannie Miiro, CEO of DDSL (Dilocs Development Services Limited), explains why Uganda is a good place for farming and agriculture.

“Land is available and is fertile here. We can produce crops without the cost of additional fertilizers. That is why we want to do organic farming. It is very easy to switch to without incurring a lot of additional cost in fertilizers, pesticides, etc. Uganda is also very rich in water. We do not need irrigation. We have two rainy seasons a year. There are no costs on irrigation during those seasons to have crops grow, only as an additional backup measure. You will find that production of fruits and vegetables in Uganda is very cheap compared to other areas”, says Shannie Miiro.
