Buyende District Farmers Association

Fishing folk and rice growers, one association.

We bring together fishing communities on Lake Kyoga's shores and rice, cassava and maize growers across Buyende's sub-counties into one farmer-led voice.

Who we are

Rooted between the lake and the land.

Buyende District Farmers Association organises smallholder farmers and fishing communities across the district's sub-counties, linking them to extension services, quality inputs and fairer markets.

We work with the District Production Office and Uganda National Farmers Federation (UNFFE) to route agronomic advice, certified rice seed and fisheries guidance directly to registered members.
