Turning Agricultural Waste into Economic Value: A New Report for Uganda

This report covers turning agricultural waste into with key details and context.

A recent report reveals a transformative approach to Uganda’s agricultural waste, urging stakeholders to view waste as a valuable resource. With the country’s food production facing significant losses—up to half of food produced, equating to approximately 316 billion shillings annually—innovative recycling methods could help bolster small and medium enterprises (SMEs) financially.

The report emphasizes the potential for SMEs to create organic fertilizers from agricultural byproducts, encouraging a vital shift toward a circular economy. However, SMEs encounter significant barriers, including poor access to formal markets, lack of financing, and insufficient technology. Addressing these challenges could unlock their potential to contribute effectively to Uganda’s food systems.

While there is a high level of awareness of agricultural policies at 89%, the urgency lies in how these policies are implemented. The report indicates a stark contrast with Kenya, which has a food loss figure of 40%, reflecting the breadth of the issue in the region. Immediate action is needed to ensure these proposals materialize into tangible benefits for farmers and the economy.
