Managed Agriculture-based Solutions for Income Generation

When done right, agriculture is one of the safest high-return investment options for families, private groups and individuals to grow their savings. Uganda has some of East Africa's most fertile soils, accounting for more than 50% of the region's arable land with a relatively stable climate regime capable of supporting no-input agriculture. Thus, making the right decisions on timing, inputs and advisory ensures you get some of the highest returns of any agro-based investment you'll make.

With our Farm for Income program, you no longer need to spend your savings on purchasing farmland, hiring farm personnel and relying on the phone in order to establish and run a profitable agribusiness operation. The program provides an agriculture-based income generation vehicle for families, investment clubs and individuals wishing to grow their savings. With modest minimum capital requirements and flexible fees structure, the program empowers you to create an additional income stream for yourself, your family or group.
