Two influential Members of Parliament, Hon. Catherine Achola, who represents the women of Pallisa District, and Hon. Fredrick Angura, the MP for Tororo South County, recently joined forces. Their clear message to the people of the Bukedi Sub-region was simple yet powerful: embrace coffee and cocoa farming.
Speaking on Sunday, they highlighted these specific crops as a golden opportunity for local residents to significantly improve their livelihoods and boost the overall economy of the region. They stressed that by shifting towards these high-value cash crops, families could unlock new sources of income, moving away from cycles of poverty. The leaders believe that Bukedi’s climate and soil are perfectly suited for successful coffee and cocoa cultivation, offering a sustainable path to economic growth. Their collective effort aims to inspire a widespread adoption of these crops, promising a more stable and prosperous future for the entire sub-region.
