If you grew up in Rwanda, this picture probably brings back memories 🇷🇼🍠🔥
During the dry season (impeshyi), roasting sweet potatoes over a traditional fire wasn't just about food, it was a childhood tradition. We'd gather around the fire, laugh, tell stories, and patiently wait for the sweet aroma that meant they were ready.
Some of our richest memories were made from the simplest moments.
What's your favorite childhood memory from summer in Rwanda?

The future of agriculture is not imagined in boardrooms, it's growing in the field.
One of the most inspiring experiences at the Rwanda Agricultural Show 2026 was visiting the seed demonstration farms, where improved crop varieties are showcased under real farming conditions. These plots give farmers a unique opportunity to see, compare, and evaluate crop performance before making planting decisions.
From the vigorous tomato plants loaded with healthy fruits to the productive sweet pepper varieties, every plot tells a story of how quality seed and proper crop management can dramatically improve yields. Farmers can assess growth habits, disease tolerance, fruit quality, maturity, adaptability to local conditions, and yield potential all in one place.
Seed demonstration farms are more than exhibition spaces; they are outdoor classrooms where research meets practice. They empower farmers with knowledge, reduce the risks of choosing unsuitable varieties, and encourage the adoption of improved technologies that increase productivity and profitability.
Whether you are an experienced farmer, a young agripreneur, a student, or simply passionate about agriculture, these demonstration plots offer valuable lessons that no brochure or presentation can replace. Seeing is believing, and the field provides the best evidence.
The Rwanda Agricultural Show continues to prove that agricultural transformation starts with knowledge, innovation, and informed decisions. Every visit is an opportunity to learn something that can make the next harvest even better.

Found this interesting exhibit at the exhibition!
One of the things that caught my attention was this Comborough boar, weighing an impressive 496 kg at just 2.2 years old!
What makes it even more interesting is its role in swine breeding through artificial insemination, having already reached an impressive 3,120 doses.
It’s a great reminder that modern livestock production is not only about keeping animals, it’s also about genetics, proper identification, record keeping, breeding management, and innovation to improve productivity.
Exhibitions like this are a great place to learn, get inspired, and see how technology and good management are transforming agriculture.
What’s the most interesting thing you’ve discovered at the exhibition?

🐔🥚WHY YOUR CHICKENS ARE NOT LAYING ENOUGH EGGS🐔🥚
At the Rwanda Agriculture Show 2026, farmers and agricultural enthusiasts are sharing practical ideas and experiences that can help improve productivity on the farm, here is an important topic for poultry farmers:
Many poultry farmers experience a situation where chickens appear healthy, active, and feeding well but egg production remains low or inconsistent.
In most cases this is not caused by disease alone. It is usually linked to specific management mistakes that directly affect production. Let’s break them down into practical farm actions you can check immediately:
1️⃣. FEED QUALITY AND NUTRIENT BALANCE:
Layers require consistent access to balanced feed rich in protein and calcium. Protein supports egg formation while calcium is needed for strong eggshells. When feed is low quality or not given consistently hens reduce laying or produce weak eggs. Practical action ensure daily consistent feeding and add calcium sources such as crushed oyster shells or limestone where available.
2️⃣. LIGHTING DURATION AND STABILITY:
Egg production depends on light exposure. Layers need about 14 to 16 hours of light daily to maintain laying hormones. Irregular lighting disrupts their cycle and reduces egg production. Practical action ensure stable daylight access or use controlled artificial lighting where necessary.
3️⃣. STRESS FROM OVERCROWDING AND DISTURBANCE:
Stress is one of the most common hidden causes of low egg production. Overcrowding loud noise predators and frequent disturbances reduce laying activity. Practical action maintain proper spacing keep housing calm and secure and protect birds from predators.
4️⃣. INADEQUATE NESTING CONDITIONS:
Hens need safe and comfortable nesting areas. Without proper nests they may stop laying or lay eggs on the floor which reduces productivity and increases breakage. Practical action provide clean dark quiet nesting boxes with dry bedding material.
5️⃣. HEAT STRESS AND POOR VENTILATION:
High temperatures reduce feed intake and affect egg formation. Poor airflow inside the poultry house increases heat stress and lowers production. Practical action improve ventilation avoid overcrowding and ensure constant access to clean cool water.
6️⃣. AGE AND BREED PRODUCTIVITY:
Not all hens lay at the same rate. Young layers produce more eggs while older hens naturally reduce output. Some breeds also have lower production potential. Practical action monitor flock age and replace low performing birds when necessary.
7️⃣. WATER INTAKE QUALITY AND ACCESS:
Water is critical for egg formation. Even short water shortages reduce laying performance immediately. Practical action ensure clean fresh water is available at all times and drinkers are always functional.
🐔 FINAL INSIGHT:
Egg production is not luck it is management. When feed, light, stress, housing and water are properly controlled, production becomes stable and predictable.
A QUESTION FOR YOU: Are you having a challenge of your chickens not laying enough eggs and what do you think is the cause?
SHARE your experience in the comment section and let's learn from real farm situations.

CAUGHT IN THE FIELD — VISIT TODAY!
Look at the appetite of this elegant grasshopper as it feeds on crop leaves! It may look beautiful, but its feeding can quickly turn healthy leaves into damaged foliage.
It has a defense mechanism, its vibrant colors serve as a warning to predators (aposematism) that it may be toxic and unpalatable. When threatened, it can eject a foul-smelling, noxious fluid from its thoracic glands.
For farmers, this is a reminder that regular field scouting matters. Early detection of leaf-feeding pests can help prevent serious crop damage and yield losses.
Agricultural impact, it is a polyphagous insect that feeds on a wide range of plants. In East and Central Africa, it is considered a notable agricultural pest, primarily targeting cassava, corn, and vegetable crops.
This elegant grasshopper is mostly encountered in Rwanda’s Eastern Province.

One picture, two farming approaches, one powerful lesson!
This field demonstration at #RwandaAgriShow2026 gives a striking visual comparison between conservation agriculture and standard farming practices.
On the left, the taller and more vigorous crop stand represents the conservation agriculture approach, while the shorter crop stand represents the standard farming practice. The difference in crop development is hard to miss.
Conservation agriculture is not simply about growing crops, it is about protecting and improving the soil while maintaining productivity over time. Practices such as minimum soil disturbance, maintaining soil cover, and integrating crop residues or organic matter can help improve soil structure, reduce erosion, conserve moisture, and support healthier soils.
For farmers, demonstrations like this are important because they turn agricultural concepts into something we can see and compare directly in the field.
When the same crop is managed under different approaches, the results can provide valuable lessons about how farming practices influence crop performance.
Healthy soil is the foundation of sustainable agriculture.
The question is: Which farming approach would you choose for your farm, and why?

IF YOU ARE THINKING OF STARTING POULTRY CHICKEN FARMING, HERE ARE SEVEN 7 IMPORTANT THINGS YOU MUST KNOW!
1. MARKET RESEARCH:
It is very important to critically look at the demand that needs to be met. Is there high demand for table eggs, out grower chicken or broiler meat? Most start-up farmers go by what a friend or relative or neighbouring farmer is doing and hope to reap the benefits.
It is important that you take your time to talk to clients or potential customers and listen to them. Do a survey on restaurants, hotels, open air or takeaway eateries, supermarkets and delis and collect as much data as possible.
Ask questions about seasonal trends of products that you intend to bring into the market. Sometimes your assumptions may not match your survey results or outcome, so be ready to change your original plans and make new decisions.
2. FARM LOCATION:
A poultry farm can be located on any dry land anywhere in the country as it is not dependent on any weather patterns. However, the ideal location would be outskirts of urban or peri-urban cities where there is ready market for both meat and eggs. Construct your farm where there is access to all weather road, away from riparian land that experience occasional flooding and landslide.
3. HOUSING SYSTEM:
The most common housing system in this country is deep litter, where the entire floor is covered by wood shaving and the other equipment like nest boxes, feeders and drinkers are centrally located. It is best suited for all types of birds and conforms to animal welfare requirement.
The free-range type is common for Sasso chicken with a bit of housing at night and scavenging in an open enclosure. In organic farming, the chickens are most of the time on free range scavenging and are on restricted commercial feed with no use of antibiotics and any additive.
4. DEMAND FOR BUILDING:
The most ideal house in this region must be open sided rectangular shaped structure, with roof made of iron sheet or locally available waterproof material. The long side of the house must be on an East-west orientation to reduce direct sunlight on the chicks.
Side walls should be 2-3 feet high made of bricks, iron sheet or block and the rest covered by wire mesh and chicken netting at 6-7 feet high. The floor could be concreted or compacted with red soil.
5. *CHOICE OF BREED AND SUPPLIER:*
If you want to keep commercial layers, choose type of breed which is hardy with low mortality rate, fast growth rates, high peak production, long peak period and good persistence (like Bovans brown). If it is for both meat and egg production, look for a breed of high feed conversion efficiency, and of good tasty and tender quality meat (like dual purpose Sasso).
6. OPTIMAL HEALTH PROTECTION:
Threats to your flock will include but not limited to protozoal and parasitic diseases, bacteria, yeast and mold and viral infections. You will need good rearing conditions that include proper brooding, temperature control, ventilation and humidity as well as quality water and adequate feed supply all the time.
Biosecurity is pivotal to your success; the premises must be highly sanitised within and around the site with limited flock visits to only authorised personnel. Vaccination schedule must be followed to the letter and must be chosen based on efficacy and administered professionally.
7. RECORD KEEPING:
Anything that cannot be counted cannot be measured. Most farmers ignore the value of good record keeping. Feed being the highest production cost in poultry production, means that it must be weighed to the level of grammes fed/bird/day, and weight sampling must be done on weekly basis to establish production efficiency.
