From the outset of tea farming, I have always advised small landowners against participation. Crops like tea, cotton, maize, and sugarcane require significant land and resources to be profitable. Small-scale farmers must consider their land use carefully.
After engaging with tea growers in Bushenyi, I suggested they research whether to shift from extensive to intensive tea farming. Regarding fertilisers, we shall find solutions. For financing and debt repayments for growers, processors, factories, and nurseries, we plan to allocate around 300 billion shillings.
We shall also address electricity concerns and provide tax-free diesel temporarily. The Agriculture Ministry will ensure that growers cultivate properly and buyers purchase quality tea. Additionally, local governments will receive 2 billion shillings for improved road infrastructure.(Yoweri K Museveni)
