At the Tororo Rice Exhibition, a plow is demonstrated. They dug up a patch of the park! In the background is a machine that plants four lines of rice seedlings. Note the floaters on the side.

Happy May!

I went with Adams to a rice exhibition in Tororo, which is northeast of Bugiri. I had not visited there before. The main sponsor of the exhibition was International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC), a Dutch company which has partnered with many NGOs, including ATEFO.  Attendees went from booth to booth, hearing what each exhibit was about. ATEFO had a small table. There should have been more rice farmers mobilized for this, but it was still nice to see what was on display. The representative from IFDC, a gentleman from the UK who lives in Kampala, chatted with me. He reaffirmed a deep frustration that farmers do not keep records. I learned that Uganda is a net importer of rice, due to it’s ranking of 70th out of 78 countries in milled rice yield per hectare  Ugandans work hard but when the President promises to hand out 18 million hoes for election in the year 2016, it’s hard to compete. A few different people approached and told me we had met before, at one of the farmer groups, or some function. Ugh, it’s hard to remember everyone I have met!

The booths reminded me of the competitive exhibits of the Educate Club Youth Group. So there is a practical application.
