We are committed to supporting this transformative programme, which we believe will enhance quality production and improve livelihoods across our region,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This stakeholder engagement marks a new chapter for agriculture in Kanungu, paving the way for improved farming practices, sustainable development, and a more secure future for the district\u2019s farmers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KANUNGU, UGANDA &#8211; The Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries (MAAIF) has launched
