The president urged Ugandans to adopt these programs and invest in agriculture to improve their household incomes.
He also stressed the need for agricultural officers to sensitize farmers about diseases affecting maize and potato growth. Due to land fragmentation in Kisoro, Museveni advised residents to plant high-quality crops.
