Members of Muntuyera SACCO operating in Rwamashaire Town Council, Ntungamo District have received valuable training on how to utilize small pieces of land for both quality and quantity agricultural production.
The one-day training workshop, held on Saturday, October 4th, 2025, at Kitunga Archdeaconry, was facilitated by Professor Sunday Justus, an agriculture lecturer at Makerere University and consultant. The event was organized by Muntuyera SACCO to equip farmers with practical skills and also to publicize the upcoming Ekiterekye kya Christmas Bonanza.
During the session, Professor Sunday emphasized sustainable land fertility management through nutrition, protection, and rest. He also encouraged farmers to seek advice from successful agricultural practitioners, make their own pasture, use artificial fertilizers wisely, and select high-quality seeds to ensure productive gardens.
Ntungamo District Commercial Officer, Ezra Aryanyijuka, applauded the SACCO for empowering members with knowledge that complements government initiatives such as the Parish Development Model (PDM). He noted that such trainings are crucial in boosting household incomes and improving agricultural productivity.
SACCO Board Chairperson, Rev. Benson Nahora, commended members for their active participation and assured them of continued growth and expansion of the SACCO. He urged them to cooperate for sustained prosperity and to actively participate in the upcoming Ekiterekye kya Christmas Bonanza, where winners will be rewarded with cows, goats, hens, and food items.
SACCO Manager, Agnes Kwarisima, appreciated the overwhelming member turnout, describing the training as a success that will strengthen both individual incomes and overall SACCO performance. She encouraged members to take part in the Bonanza as a way to further support SACCO development.
Participants, including Annet Byempaka, Edurai Rwankurukumbi, and Bernard Muhumuza, praised the training for imparting transformative agricultural knowledge that will help them improve their farming practices and household livelihoods.
