The Show
The National Agricutural and Trade Show started way back in 1993, near the source of the Nile at Jinja. This year we are celebrating the silver jubilee 25 years of the show. The Jinja show ground is a spacious (16ha) and leading exhibition in Uganda which combines Agriculture and Trade sectors.
The show sets a platform for displaying and identifying innovations made by local and foreign companies through improved technologies for better production, marketing and poverty eradication. This year we focus on how to manage the challenges of climate change bearing in mind how draught has divested agriculture over the last years. We look at the different activities being carried out to address the effects of climate change
