The Uganda National Farmers Federation (UNFFE) announced this ambitious project during their annual general meeting, seeking support from President Yoweri Museveni.

The tower will feature an agricultural service hub, farmer commodity services, agricultural innovations, microfinance services, and renting spaces. UNFFE Chairperson, Dr. Dick Nuwamanya Kamuganga, revealed that they have presence in 146 districts and are optimistic about the project’s potential to transform the agricultural sector for the 11.5m farmers nationwide
