UPDATE: Agro Supply Limited (@agrosupplyug) Uganda's leading agro input dealer has unveiled a new variety of maize seed, Zam Seed aimed at helping Ugandan farmers tackle the growing challenges of climate change and improve crop productivity.
The unveiling took place at the company’s offices in Angwet Angwet, Lira City, attended by seed vendors, farmer representatives, and agricultural stakeholders. The newly introduced three maize seeds varieties, produced by Zam Seeds , include : ZMS 451, ZMS 520, and ZMS 721.
According to Agro Supply officials, the Zam Seed adapt well to the Ugandan soil and climate and are designed to address climate-related challenges such as erratic rainfall and prolonged dry spells. The varieties fall into three key categories: early-maturing seeds, drought-resistant options, and seeds suitable for staggered planting seasons.
Brian Ogolo, the Northern Uganda Manager of Agro Supply Limited, said the company has invested heavily in research to develop seeds that can withstand changing weather conditions. He urged farmers to adopt these improved varieties alongside modern farming practices and proper planning to enhance productivity.
“We are encouraging farmers to embrace these new seed varieties as a way of coping with climate change and ensuring better yields,” Ogolo said.
Stakeholders at the event also used the opportunity to highlight ongoing challenges within the agricultural sector. Odongo Leo Brown, chairperson of the Lango Seed Vendors Association, warned farmers against the widespread issue of counterfeit seeds. He advised them to only purchase inputs from certified dealers approved by district authorities and government agricultural offices.
Other speakers emphasized the importance of farmer education and collaboration. John Bosco Obaro, Director of Aton Agro, reaffirmed Agro Supply’s commitment to equipping farmers with the knowledge needed to overcome production challenges.
Meanwhile, Steven Opio of Niyee Farmers Home and Christine Anyinge of Tinoq Farmers encouraged farmers to form groups and adopt modern farming techniques, noting that collective action can improve productivity and increase incomes.
The introduction of Zam Seeds marks a significant step in efforts to strengthen agricultural resilience in Northern Uganda, particularly as farmers continue to grapple with the impacts of climate change
