Surely, i agree with Mr Patrick on agribussiness failure in uganda, the collapse of cooperatives was the first mistake and liberalisation sent the last nails to the agribussiness 'coffin' in the sense that it exposed the already vulnerable farmers to the greedy middle men, so urgent need for GOU to focus on farmer empowerment through institutionalization and value addition to agro products. I salute the VP on his progress on Rice, this is wat Ugandans sh'd concentrate on, matooke is only for food security and has no future for export.
