Farmers seek to increase milk incomes
The ministry of agriculture animal industry and fisheries has launched a campaign for clean milk production for dairy farmers in Eastern and North Eastern Uganda. The campaign is geared towards boosting house hold income amongst the local farmers and also increasing agricultural exports. State Minister for animal industry Bright Rwamirama says there was an outcry by many small scale farmers and milk processors over adulteration by some middle men which has lowered the quality of milk thereby affecting their profits.
