National World Fisheries Day celebrations are being held in Serere district under the theme: "Promote Fish farming for improved household income."
Our teams from @nafirri @ardckajjansi, Buginyanya and Nabuin ZARDI are participating in this event.
Chief guest: @RobinahNabbanja
Under the @FeedtheFuture initiative @narouganda is currently implementing a project to move research products off the shelf to the #market.
The focus is to commercialise 8 commodities along the value chain: beans, maize, cassava, sorghum, coffee, bananas, potatoes and livestock.
The @USAIDUganda Department of Economic Growth visited @narouganda on a familiarisation tour to see ongoing research work and technologies and areas for future collaborations.
@NARO_DG received the team led by the Director of Economic Growth Amy Beeler @NaroKawanda.
The hub will be a one stop centre for farmers to access quality farm inputs and market outlets for bulked products in commodity clusters; legumes, cereals, root crops, livestock and nutri-crops.
An agro hub supermarket & #farmer learning centre was commissioned by Hon Grace Kwiyucwiny (Minister of State for Northern Uganda Rehabilitation) in Gulu.
The Chase Hunger and Poverty Project under @OPMDINU1 is being implemented by @narouganda with support from @EUinUG

We were honoured today to host @rggoobi and Moses Byaruhanga (Senior Presidential Advisor) at the Livestock Research Insitute @NaLIRRI on a familiarisation tour.
They visited the vaccine platform, miking parlour, pasture conservation, aflasafe prod'n and dairy zero waste units.
Members of top management who attended the farm clinic:- Dr Winnie Nkalubo- Director @nafirri, Dr Yona Baguma- Deputy Director General Research Coordination, Dr Kassim Sadik- Deputy Director General Technology Promotion and @labanturyagyen1 Director of Ngetta ZARDI
Today's #farmclinic training on fish farming was on seed selection, feed production, disease management & value addition while for poultry, it was on general management, housing and nutrition.

#PestAlert: What do you know about the Black Coffee Twig Borer (BCTB) & its control measures?
BCTB attacks crop-bearing branches of mainly robusta trees causing them to dry. You can lose up to 50% of the coffee yield if you don't pay attention to the control of BCTB on the farm.
Revolutionary. The first ever locally invented anti-tick vaccine in the country. A milestone in livestock disease control, and by extension in our socio-economic transformation agenda. Kudos @narouganda @MAAIF_Uganda and in particular the individual scientists who did it. https://twitter.com/narouganda/status/1585611001747087360
Four injectable anti tick vaccines for controlling the three economically important tick species notably the Brown ear tick(engoha), Blue tick(Entujjo), and the Bont-logged tick (Embarabara) have been developed by scientists @narouganda.
#Antitickvaccine ,
The Hon @FrankTumwebazek congratulates @narouganda scientists on the development of Anti-Tick vaccine.
Minister Frank Tumwebaze: The scientists have put its efficacy so far at 88%. The trials will be done in all ecological zones of the country.
