Description

Integrated farmers cooperative union was founded close to two years ago; according to the Ugandan statutes, it is the period required for registration to be effected. Myself together with some friends, we looked at the continued exploitation farmers were facing being fleeced by middlemen, and felt enough was enough. All profits were being taken away yet rice farming was a hard task given the rudementary nature of equipment farmers were using.  First thing was to have farmers purchase their rice and look for a market and sell at a better price; this would come in handy to solve the buffer stock impediment as well as having a stabilisation fund.  We have grown to 3,000 farmers; this mostly comprises of youth - Uganda being the youngest nation in the  world - and women or young mothers. Our goals are not only to end at looking for better prices but to be able in future to make value added products, in production of feeds for animals, produce soft boards for construction, use rice husks to improve the environment by producing energy for homes and industries; this will reduce deforestation as fire wood is the main source of  energy for cooking. We feel this will 1. Spiral employment in animal husbandry agribusiness  2. Save the environment  3. Improve incomes to better living standards  4. Have an affordable source of energy to power small-scale cottages  5. Improve health and education standards since people can afford to pay and many others.  Our conviction is cooperative is the way to go.

Integrated farmers cooperative union is located in Eastern Uganda, Butaleja District, Himutu subcounty, Nalusaga Township
