I am pleased to welcome you to the NARO Uganda’s website. A one stop center for information and updates regarding agricultural research and development in Uganda.

Throughout the years, we have aspired to be better, more advanced, relevant and to position ourselves at the top of the agricultural research industry in the region and Africa. We have developed new technologies, innovations, and management practices as well as invested in collaborations and partners who contributed and strengthen our interests as a research institution focused on improving lives and livelihoods.
