Barley growing farmers in the Sebei Sub-region lose over 35 percent of their produce due to poor post-harvest handling and lack of storage facilities. But their worries could be history as Nile Breweries Uganda Limited has come in handy with a timely solution.

As the Managing Director of Nile Breweries Uganda Limited, I have seen firsthand the struggles of barley farmers in the Sebei Sub-region. It is disheartening to see so much hard work and potential go to waste due to poor post-harvest handling practices.

With our expertise in brewing and our commitment to supporting local farmers, we have decided to step in and offer guidance to these farmers. Through training sessions and workshops, we are equipping them with the knowledge and skills they need to properly handle their barley after harvest.

By implementing simple practices such as proper drying techniques, effective storage methods, and regular monitoring of the grain, farmers can significantly reduce their losses and increase their profits. We believe that by working together, we can create a sustainable future for barley farming in the Sebei Sub-region.

By promoting good post-harvest handling practices, we are not only reducing food waste but also contributing to the overall sustainability of agriculture.
