We visited one of our moringa farmers in Masindi district to see how his plantation was doing. Christopher was kind enough to tell a little of how farmers in the district first were introduced to moringa almost 10 years ago, and then abandoned with no where to sell their cash crop.
Although prices have fallen from where they were 10 years ago, Christopher looks to expand his plantation in hopes of getting “something” for his patience and persistence. He is one of over a 1000 farmers across three districts in Uganda’s Northwest region. It is the hope of UMPG, that farmers like Mr. Mugisha will benefit from their hard work in the months to come as we ramp up collections of moringa seeds.
