Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Sixteen months after demonstrating bottle irrigation, President Yoweri Museveni returned to his Kawumu farm in Luwero District this week to harvest tomatoes, passion fruits, mushrooms, pineapples and matooke alongside fish, chicken and dairy products. ” I am proud to be back in this place as we now focus on the struggle against poverty and ensure increased income for Ugandan households. I am glad that the neighbouring homesteads I visited today organised under the Kawumu Village Sacco all seem to be catching up and this should be emulated countrywide,” Museveni said. Museveni revealed that his coffee too is flowering at 12 months instead of the usual 18 months because they survived the first stages on drip irrigation.
