At the Uganda National Farmers Federation (UNFFE), we believe that knowledge is as valuable as the seeds in a farmer’s hand. That’s why we invest in training and advisory services that empower farmers to improve productivity, adopt modern technologies, and make informed decisions for their farms and agribusinesses.
Farmer Training Programs
We design and deliver capacity-building programs tailored to the needs of different farmer groups—from smallholders to commercial producers. Our training covers:
Climate-Smart Agriculture – Sustainable practices that build resilience to climate change.
Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) – Improving crop quality, soil fertility, and pest management.
Post-Harvest Handling & Value Addition – Reducing losses and increasing product value.
Farm Business Management – Financial literacy, record keeping, and investment planning.
Market-Oriented Farming – Understanding market demands and producing competitively.
Training is delivered through workshops, farmer field schools, demonstration plots, and exchange visits, ensuring practical, hands-on learning.
Advisory Services
Our advisory services connect farmers to timely, relevant, and actionable information to improve decision-making. We provide:
On-Farm Advisory – Direct technical support through field visits by agricultural extension officers.
Information Services – Market prices, weather forecasts, and agronomic tips shared via mobile platforms, radio programs, and farmer networks.
Policy Guidance – Helping farmer groups understand and navigate agricultural regulations and government programs.
Business Advisory – Supporting farmers to access financing, form cooperatives, and engage in value chain development.
