APPLE VALUE CHAIN: Bugisu production still low
For the last seven years, 2.2 million apple seedlings have been distributed to farmers in the Bugisu sub region as an alternative growing area to Kabale and Kanungu districts. The acreage under apples in Bugisu was 5400 acres but it has necessitated retraining farmers on the right agronomical practices to realise higher productivity which has until now remained lower than expected.
