VIDEO: @FrankTumwebazek : "In this new term of office, we are going to demand full-time service from extension workers and CDOs. We cannot continue watching our farmers suffer while the government pays these workers well."
We have held a productive meeting with Hortifresh Uganda, the apex body for fruits and vegetables, to strengthen Uganda’s export value chain. Partnerships like these are key to unlocking growth, value addition, and global market access for our produce. #FreeZonesandExportsUg
@HonMutasingwa It was an honor having you at our ground breaking, Honorable. Thanks to you and the Buikwe community for the warm welcome. We shall do great things as @awip_ug to create employment to our mothers and sisters.

As you know, the government's focus now is on improving the quality of life of our people as they get income at the household level through government programs like PDM, Emyooga, and many others. When women prosper, families prosper, and communities prosper.
@JanetMuseveni Indeed families and communities prosper when women prosper. Through @awip_ug , we envision empowering the Proverbs 31 woman with the tools and opportunities to thrive in industrialization, fulfilling her calling with strength and purpose.
“AWIP is turning waste into cash—and giving women the power to grow Uganda’s export economy.”
– @thebeequeen, Head of Operations, @hortifreshffv
As the umbrella body for over 300 exporters and 200,000 smallholder farmers, HortiFresh sees the AWIP Industrial Park as a game-changer.
From chilies and mangoes to vanilla and thyme, AWIP creates a future where post-harvest waste becomes market-ready products—and women take the lead in value addition and exports.

“This is the first exclusive industrial park for women. If we support women entrepreneurs here, it will give real impetus to those working quietly from their living rooms to come forward, scale up, and benefit from tax and non-tax incentives—including waived taxes on machinery and support to access markets.”
— Hon. @Anite__Evelyn, Minister of State for Investment
