In a significant boost to agricultural extension services, the Amolatar District Production Department has proudly acquired two brand new motorcycles, each valued at Shs 12 million.

This strategic purchase aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of agricultural extension workers in reaching local farmers, ultimately improving service delivery across the district.

Mr. Geoffrey Vuciri, the District Deputy Chief Administrative Officer (DCAO), highlighted the importance of responsible usage of these motorcycles.

He asked all extension workers to utilise this new equipment not just for transportation, but as a vital tool for increasing agricultural productivity throughout Amolatar.
