The increase in the Agro-Industrialisation budget from UGX 1.8 trillion in FY 2024/25 to UGX 2.2 trillion in FY 2026/27 provides an important opportunity to support agricultural research, inputs, irrigation, extension services, agro-processing, and market access. Effective implementation will be key to achieving the intended impact.-Ms. Jane Nalunga, Executive Director, SEATINI
