The 30th National Agricultural Show
Uganda National Farmers Federation (UNFFE) in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture Animal Industry and Fisheries (MAAIF), and other partners is organizing the Source of the Nile National Agricultural Shows geared at creating a platform where all agricultural value chain actors such as farmers, agro-processors, agri-input dealers, agro-machinery companies, financial institutions, agro-insurance companies, and other sector-wide players like Ministries, Departments and Agencies, development partners, NGOs, the private sector will meet in one place to showcase a variety of agricultural innovations. The 30th National Agricultural Show will take full 10 days starting from the 26th of July to the 04th of August 2024 at the Source of the Nile Agricultural show grounds in Jinja.
The National Agricultural Show is the biggest and leading agricultural exhibition in Uganda and East Africa with over 500 exhibitors showcasing different products and services.
This year’s edition of the 30th National Agricultural Show will take full 10 days starting from the 26th of July to the 04th of August 2024 at the Source of the Nile Agricultural show grounds in Jinja under the theme: “Innovating pathways to farm business led Agro-industrialization”
Why this theme:
The government of Uganda recognizes that 7.8M households in Uganda derive their livelihood from the agriculture sector, 67 percent of these agricultural households had holdings of less than 1 Ha, and only 13 percent had more than 2 Ha (UBOS 2022). As the country struggles with building resilience and recovering from the surge of COVID-19 and its related challenges, the report also states that 68% of the agricultural households are still practising subsistence farming (farming for the stomach) yet under the 3rd National Development Plan, we are aiming at transforming the Ugandan Society from a Peasant to a Modern and Prosperous Country within 30 years, to increase the Average Household Incomes and Improve the Quality of Life of Ugandans.
The NDP III theme is “Sustainable Industrialization for inclusive growth, employment and sustainable wealth creation” and the NRM Manifesto 2021/2026 emphasizes creating jobs and wealth for all Ugandans through accelerating the industrialization Agenda. This is aligned very well with the theme of this year’s 30th edition of the National Agricultural Show in Jinja.
