International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in the control of aflatoxin Contamination, a persistent issue in Uganda, affecting both adults and children.<\/p>\n<p>Aflasafe contains non-toxic native fungi that can outcompete aflatoxin-producing strains in the field. It has been successful in Gambia, Kenya, and Nigeria, covering 315,000 hectares and meeting regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n<p>SAA collaborates with IITA to train farmers and extension agents on Aflasafe application, emphasizing proper soil surface placement. SAA also advocates for Regenerative Agriculture practices, which, when combined with Aflasafe, improve soil health and biodiversity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4265\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4265\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4265 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/saa-safe.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Picture-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saa-safe.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Picture-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/saa-safe.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Picture-1-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/saa-safe.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Picture-1-768x499.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4265\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Group of participants during the Aflasafe application field demonstration training in Isingiro district<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4266\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4266\" style=\"width: 890px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4266 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/saa-safe.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Picture-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saa-safe.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Picture-2.jpg 890w, https:\/\/saa-safe.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Picture-2-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/saa-safe.org\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Picture-2-768x483.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4266\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bright as a gemstone, and even more valuable: Aflasafe stands out against the soil.

As a young man, he had envisioned life, at the age of 57, full of wealth and tranquility, but his farming enterprise kept failing him, with meagre harvests each year and even lower sales. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And just as he was about to give up, in 2020, he joined the Agriculture Market Support (AMS) project implemented by the Sasakawa Africa Association (SAA), backed by the World Food Programme (WFP). He was trained in good agronomic practices, post-harvest handling practices, collective bulking, and commodity marketing, aspects of agribusiness that transformed his life.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Embracing these skills, Korobe collaborated with fellow farmers to collectively offer their produce to the NADIFA store, a satellite collection point with a fair price for their produce. In his first year after training, Korobe\u2019s 55 bags of produce sold him an impressive UGX 7,200,000 (USD 1926.22), a figure that was beyond his wildest imagination. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&#8220;The knowledge I gained on post-harvest management, and collective marketing has been a game-changer for me,&#8221; he said. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0This amount allowed him to clear a UGX 1,300,000 loan he had secured from the Savings and Loan Association, and which he was struggling to pay. He also spent UGX 930,000 in clearing tuition fee balances for his two children, and UGX 1,750,000 on household expenses. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">He spared UGX 3,200,000 for re-investment in his farming work, expanding his land under cultivation to 32 acres, comprising 23 acres of maize, 4 acres of sorghum, and 5 acres of beans. Using organic manure, he has been able to keep his production costs low, and he expects his output to continually increase.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div

data-contrast=\"auto\">These are the words of Joy Kansiime, a 48-year-old Ugandan farmer, who specializes in iron-rich beans (IRB), a crop she had cultivated for years, but only found greater success in after training by the Sasakawa Africa Association (SAA). Early 2022, she harvested 500kgs of IRB, all of which was sold within her village and neighboring communities at UGX 5000 (USD 1.34) per kilogram. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&#8220;My beans are sought after for their quality and nutritional richness,&#8221; she said.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Her second harvest, early this year, saw her get 700 kg of produce, out of which she has already sold 600 kgs, mainly through the Kitura Abamwe Group, which she joined in 2018. Her increasing income has allowed her to clear outstanding debts, support her children\u2019s education, and provide nourishing meals to her household. <\/span><span

three exciting days, from June 21 to June 23, 2023, 111 extension workers, including 34 women, gathered at Makerere University&#8217;s School of Agricultural Sciences for intensive training on ethics, planning, communication, conflict management, and inclusivity.<\/p>\n<p>The participants included government field extension workers and community-based facilitators (CBFs) from the northern, central, and southwestern parts of Uganda. The training aimed to equip the agents with critical skills for community engagement, such as farmer mobilization, communication facilitation, and report production.<\/p>\n<p>This focus on areas beyond direct agronomic practices is crucial, as it enables extension workers to effectively bridge the gap between technical knowledge and its practical application within diverse communities, fostering trust and collaboration. It underscores the importance of a holistic approach in agricultural extension services, ensuring the harmonious integration of technical know-how with essential interpersonal and organizational skills.<\/p>\n<p>Role plays and group activities took the trainees from the lecture halls to the fields in a fusion of theory and practice that honed their skills in real-world scenarios. At the end of it all, the participants were awarded certificates in the presence of Assistant commissioners from the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry, and Fisheries to symbolize their commitment to excellence.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4273\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4273\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

in the Apetolim subcounty of Uganda. The project is one of two One Stop Center Associations (OSCAs) &#8211; in Kole and Napak districts &#8211; aimed at revitalizing and digitalizing agricultural cooperatives. The centers will be equipped with storage units, offices, computers, irrigation facilities, and maize mills.<\/p>\n<p>The visit ensured construction quality, emphasizing local empowerment through the &#8216;SHEP&#8217; approach for OSCA sustainability. District officials, led by the Production and Marketing Officer, Simon Peter Londungokol, expressed optimism about the facility&#8217;s impact, while emphasizing their commitment to quality, safety standards, training, and market support. Mr. Londungokol also pledged the government\u2019s support in the acquisition of equipment and machinery.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4290\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4290\"

Live cooking demonstrations highlighted the integration of local produce into daily meals, with an emphasis on hygiene.<\/p>\n<p>The participants did not leave empty-handed either; they each carried

end of 2023, 145 farmers (32 women) in Ethiopia will have enhanced their skills and production capacity in wheat seed cultivation. This group is part of 856 farmers (377 women), who were trained by SAA alongside 181 Extension Agents (35 women) on the intricacies of quality seed production and the inspection procedures and regulations in Ethiopia.<\/p>\n<p>The cohort was taught on ways to maintain varietal purity, appropriate moisture content and weight, and disease and pest control. SAA then facilitated the establishment of four seed production clusters by 145 growers on 41.35 ha of land. Specifically, the project covered:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Taguba Meskel and Kokit Kebeles in Meket district, where 43 farmers (including 8 women) cultivated seeds on 10.5 ha, while 22 farmers (5 women) utilized 7.1 ha;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kerekicho Kebele of Angacha district, where 60 farmers (16 women) worked on 13.75 ha, and<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Erba Buliyo Kebele of Ana Sora district, where 20 farmers (3 women) cultivated 10 ha.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Anticipating an average yield of 35 quintals per ha, the projected quantity of wheat seed production stands at 144.7 tons. Based on past market trends and future projections, the producers are poised to earn from their produce, contributing to the economic stability and food security of the region.<\/p>\n<p>Across the production period, seed regulatory authorities and unions have been actively engaged in field inspections, ensuring that the seed production and certification laws are adhered to. The farmers are assured of a market for their produce through market linkages fostered by SAA with relevant unions to streamline seed marketing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div

The session emphasized enhancing the skills of postharvest actors and using digital agricultural extension to benefit smallholder farmers in Africa. Representatives from the Dutch embassy in Ethiopia, Wageningen University, and SAA participated in the discussion. During the conference with the theme &#8220;Sustainable Postharvest Management: Boosting Intra-African Agricultural Trade and Enhancing Food and Nutrition Security,&#8221; SAA&#8217;s Director of Strategic Partnerships, Dr. Mel Oluoch, delivered a keynote speech on SAA&#8217;s strategy and postharvest initiatives. SAA staff, including Ms. Jacqueline Namusalisi from Uganda and Mr. Yahaya Yahuza from Nigeria, also made technical presentations, and SAA maintained a booth for interaction and increased
