- ItemReach for Results - Diners(IFDC, 2019) IFDCThis document highlights the impact of the acquisition and operation of a 12-ton truck by Diners Group Limited (DGL), supported by the Resilient Efficient Agribusiness Chains in Uganda (REACH-Uganda) project, in facilitating sustainable and efficient rice value chains in Eastern Uganda. The truck is a vital tool for collecting paddy rice from farmers and transporting it to the Diners Rice Factory in Mbale, eliminating the need for expensive hired transport. By reducing transportation costs by up to 50%, the truck has significantly benefited both the farmers and the factory. In collaboration with DGL, the REACH-Uganda project aims to empower farmers and farmer groups in Eastern Uganda by providing training, equipment, and support to enhance their rice farming productivity. By establishing linkages between the farmers and DGL, the project ensures a consistent market for the farmers' produce while enabling the enterprise to receive a reliable supply of high-quality rice. DGL, functioning as a multi-stage rice miller, offers farmers better value for their produce than local single-stage millers, further enhancing their profitability. Despite the advantages of sourcing paddy to DGL, the factory faces competition from single-stage millers due to the high transportation costs incurred by farmers. The introduction of the Diners Rice Truck has effectively addressed this challenge, enabling the collection of over 400 bags (280 metric tons) of paddy rice within two months of operation. This is a significant increase compared to the previous period, with expectations of further growth as the second harvest season approaches. The truck has not only reduced transport costs but also saved time and energy for the farmers. Additionally, the truck has facilitated the efficient distribution of Diners Rice products to wholesalers and retailers in distant markets, eliminating the need for hired transport and reducing costs and delays. As a result, DGL plans to expand its operations by acquiring more land and establishing a larger structure to accommodate the increasing volume of paddy received and rice produced. The truck's visibility throughout Eastern Uganda has also contributed to establishing DGL as a prominent player in the rice industry.
- ItemBuilding a Seed Business to Support Lowland Rice Production and Move Uganda Closer to a Self-sufficient Rice Industry--Kibimba(2019) IFDCThe demand for lowland rice in Uganda has steadily increased, making it one of the country's fastest-growing cash crops. However, the lowland rice industry has received little investment, leading to a shortage of quality lowland rice and a reliance on imported brands. Kibimba Limited, Uganda's largest rice estate, aims to address this issue by becoming a certified lowland rice seed supplier, laying the foundation for a lowland rice seed industry. Kibimba seeks to improve yields and quality while ensuring a consistent supply for milling and distribution by providing clean seed to farmers and offering to buy back the harvested paddy. However, this business model requires farmers to shift from low-investment, low-input practices and invest in certified seed. Farmers must also meet Kibimba's quality requirements for paddy, which may involve changing cultivation practices. Kibimba's certification process is expected to enhance relationships with farmer groups and increase the supply of quality lowland rice. With its large-scale production capabilities, Kibimba can significantly contribute to improving yields and supplying locally produced lowland rice. To support this initiative, Kibimba has partnered with the Resilient Efficient Agribusiness Chains in Uganda (REACH-Uganda) project, which aims to strengthen connections with farmer groups and build trust in Kibimba as a seed supplier and paddy buyer. The partnership includes the establishment of demonstration plots, branding and packaging of the certified seed, and potential collaboration with other rice-milling companies. The expected results include increased yields, farmer participation, income generation, improved milling output, and revenue for Kibimba. This endeavor represents a positive step towards a self-sufficient rice industry in Uganda, with the potential for a thriving lowland rice seed sector.
- ItemReach for Results- Kibimba Rice(IFDC, 2019) IFDCThis document highlights the significant role of Kibimba Rice Limited in becoming Uganda's largest producer of high-quality rice seeds. Collaborating with the International Fertilizer Development Center's (IFDC) Resilient and Efficient Agribusiness Chains in Uganda (REACH-Uganda) Project, Kibimba Limited aims to address the supply challenges faced by smallholder farmers and major rice players in obtaining certified rice seed. By resolving the scarcity of quality rice seed, the project aims to improve production and productivity and establish resilient rice value chains in Uganda. The inadequate availability of quality rice seed forces farmers and producers to rely on saved grains, resulting in lower yield quality, reduced productivity, and increased vulnerability to pests and diseases. Furthermore, due to the limited supply of quality lowland rice seed, farmers are compelled to cultivate upland rice, which has lower market value and productivity. To counter these issues, the intervention focuses on supplying large quantities of certified WITA 9 rice seed, known for its highly marketable lowland rice. Kibimba Limited is well-equipped and possesses the necessary skills to become an accredited producer of quality rice seed. With a highly mechanized facility, an efficient irrigation system, and approximately 4,000 hectares of prime land, Kibimba can produce ample quantities of quality rice seed while maintaining ongoing production activities. In August 2019, Kibimba Limited planted 1.3 metric tons of WITA 9 lowland quality rice Foundation Seed from the National Agricultural Research Organization (NARO) on 130 acres. The company employed over 100 laborers to ensure proper planting and management according to required standards. Additionally, Kibimba established demonstration plots to raise awareness among rice farmers regarding the availability and benefits of quality rice seeds. Field Extension Workers (FEWs) recruited and trained by REACH-Uganda play a crucial role in mobilizing and engaging smallholder farmers, equipping them with the necessary knowledge and skills for profitable farming. Apart from supplying quality rice seed, Kibimba Limited also acts as a market for farmers' paddy by purchasing their lowland rice at competitive prices. This incentive encourages farmers to buy improved seeds, as they have a reliable market for increased yields. The ongoing harvest will result in the availability of certified rice seeds for purchase, coinciding with the first planting season of 2020. Ultimately, establishing an efficient and sustainable seed business is expected to support lowland rice production, enhance the resilience of Uganda's rice industry, and move it closer to self-sufficiency.

- ItemEstablishing a Seed Potato Industry in Eastern Uganda(2019) IFDCThis document focuses on the challenges and opportunities in the potato industry in Uganda. Despite a favorable climate and increasing domestic demand, the sector faces limitations due to a small and fragmented seed potato industry. Only 34% of the national demand for seed potatoes is being met, and potato yields are well below the country's potential. To address this, the Mengya Integrated Farmers Association (MIFA) aims to establish itself as the first Integrated Seed Business in Eastern Uganda, capable of undertaking the entire seed multiplication process. MIFA recognizes farmers' need for clean seed potatoes, but many struggle to differentiate between seed potatoes and regular potatoes sold in local markets. The lack of access to affordable seed potatoes hampers the industry's growth. MIFA started producing Quality Declared Seeds in 2018 but faces challenges in sourcing basic seeds and timing production with local planting cycles. To establish a seed potato industry, MIFA plans to build capacity among member farmers and sell basic seed to other Local Seed Businesses, producing Quality Declared Seed. This mixed business model presents challenges but provides locally produced, affordable certified seed to Eastern Ugandan potato farmers. Building an Integrated Seed Business requires specific equipment, infrastructure, expertise, and land. MIFA aims to connect with plantlet suppliers, develop screenhouses, and establish diffused light storage facilities to maintain seed quality. A gravity-fed irrigation system will support year-round production, and packaging will include certification and traceability details. The partnership with REACH-Uganda and the Kween District Local Government includes road reconstruction to facilitate transportation. Through these efforts, MIFA aims to increase the production of Quality Declared Seed, improve yields, and enhance household resilience. The document outlines the progress made so far, such as the number of MIFA members involved, enhanced yields, and the utilization of irrigation systems. It also highlights the ongoing work establishing screenhouses and storage facilities and forging relationships with commercial plantlet suppliers.
