Nigeria will start importing milk and Coffee from Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was revealed on Wednesday as Olesegun Obasanjo, the former President of Nigeria paid a courtesy call on President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. This after Uganda Airlines has expanded its destination network to Nigeria’s cities of Lagos and Abuja .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Museveni also took Obasanjo on a tour to Pearl Dairy Farms Limited in Mbarara City and later joined Kiruhura and Kazo farmers at Kaaro in Kiruhura District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obasanjo, was pleased to learn that Uganda can produce 5.7 billion litres of milk per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He assured President Museveni and farmers of Kiruhura and Kazo districts that Nigeria is willing to buy Ugandan Processed milk and Coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am here to see how Nigeria can buy Ugandan milk, expand production of processed milk and Coffee,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obasanjo noted that the problem with Africa is that most Africans do not know their problems, noting that Nigeria has been importing milk from Europe yet Uganda has enough of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just recently that I found out that Uganda is the net exporter of Milk in Africa,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On his part, President Museveni thanked Obasanjo for coming to Uganda and allowing to partner with Uganda to buy Ugandan milk and Coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He promised him that Uganda has the capacity to produce enough milk for the local and international market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Museveni, who was in the company of the First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports, Maama Janet Kataha Museveni also commissioned the upgraded Nshwere Church of Uganda which was refurbished and expanded by Tororo Cement Company Limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Museveni cautioned farmers about free range grazing. He requested them to adopt zero grazing, plant Silage if they want to get good profits from their farms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also advised families to have businesses by registering them as companies instead of dividing family property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He told farmers that they should be aware that they are not only producing for Uganda alone but also for the whole of Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bright Rwamirama, the Minister of State for Animal Industry noted that Uganda\u2019s export value is now 264.5 million USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
