If we encourage people to grow coffee and they continue to grow coffee, they must be able to realise the good results through improved incomes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing agriculture researchers on January 30 at Kituuza Village, Nkokonjeru Subcounty in Mukono District, where he engaged with experts at the National Coffee Research Institute (Nacori), Mr Mayiga praised Nacori for its role in promoting the \u2018Emmwaanyi Terimba\u2019 campaign, a programme advocating for coffee production in Buganda Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised the need for value-addition to extract different ingredients from coffee beans, which can be utilised in cosmetics, jewellery, nutritional supplements, and other daily essentials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe different research that you are undertaking is good. We appreciate the effort. The research being done in indigenous birds, indigenous animals is a good step. We should all embrace the new knowledge to boost agriculture for food security and have surplus for sale,\u201d the Katikkiro advised.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Yona Baguma, the Director General at Naro, said they would ensure that the technologies are made available to the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe request you to promote health programmes using Naro technologies. We have been able to develop high dense bean varieties, high dense sweet potato varieties in terms of nutrients. Let these high nutrient varieties penetrate the market and promote the health of the people,\u201d Dr Baguma said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Naro, we pledge to promote technologies through a well-designed outreach programme and through that effort, we will be able to drive out poverty in our communities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Background<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Buganda Kingdom signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Naro in October last year.<\/p>\n<p>Under the MoU, Buganda aims to rely on science to advance initiatives benefiting people engaged in agriculture. Naro\u2019s institutes, including Nacori, Namulonge, Kawanda, and Mukono Zonal Agricultural Research and Development Institute (Muzardi), cover various aspects from coffee value-addition to livestock, food standards testing, and zonal demands such as fisheries, vegetables, and poultry.<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration seeks to disseminate research and promote modern farming methods for the benefit of Uganda\u2019s farming communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
