Agriculture is the backbone of Uganda’s economy, employing over 70% of the population. For rural communities, especially small-scale farmers, increasing agricultural livelihoods is essential to reducing food insecurity and building long-term prosperity.
Yet despite its potential, Ugandan agriculture is held back by a major challenge: post-harvest food loss. Many smallholder farmers lose between 40% and 75% of their crops each year due to inadequate storage and preservation. This waste not only deprives families of a stable, year-round food supply, it also cuts off critical income during the months when markets are most profitable.
