David Mityelo the acting Namisindwa production officer while addressing farmers and local leaders on micro-scale irrigation at Bumbo town council identified the sub counties as Bupoto, Bumbo town council, Bukokho, Bubutu, Namitsa and Namboko.

 

Mityelo said the agriculture ministry will identify farmers in the targeted sub counties before rolling out the program by the end of this year. He says the farmers will be given oil seeds such as soya beans and sun flower for planting. Mityelo is optimistic that the program will boost household income and food productivity.

 

Jackson Wakweika the LCV chairperson for Namisindwa district has asked farmers in the six sub counties to embrace the program so as to fight poverty at household level.
