Farmer Training on Sweetpotato Silage Making in Masaka District

Abstract

I. Introduction CHAIN UGANDA was sub-contracted by CIP to implement the project “Expanding utilization of RTB and reducing their post-harvest losses in Masaka district”. During the process of implementing the above project, CHAIN UGANDA entered into an agreement with CIP where CHAIN agreed to perform some activities. One of the deliverable was to conduct training on sweetpotato silage making in the two pilot sub-counties (Nyendo Senyange & Buwunga). As a way of achieving this, CHAIN UGANDA in collaboration with NaLIRRI, CIP and ILRI conducted two workshops, one in each of the sub-counties. The major objective of the workshop was to equip farmers with the knowledge of sweet potato silage making.
