AGRO INDUSTRIALISATION: Experts want gov’t to invest in processing infrastructure
Government’s policy on agro industrialisation must be backed up with increased investments in processing infrastructure such as agro processing machines to take care of fruit and beverages produce, with the main focus on opening up opportunities by adding value to agricultural commodities and stopping the export of processed horticultural products. Dr Wilberforce Tushemereirwe, the Research Director NARO also says gov’t must accelerate the speed of value addition. This during the CURAD Agri business innovation challenge 2020.
