If a plant has needs just like we do, then meeting those needs becomes our responsibility. And perhaps the greatest kindness we can show the earth and ourselves is to plant, nurture, and protect the trees that quietly fight for our survival every day. #40MillionTreesAnnually.

EXCELSA — Uganda’s Wild Coffee Uganda has long relied on two coffee species: Arabica & Robusta. But from the Zoka Central Forest Reserve comes a third, Excelsa. Now under research at the NARO Kamenyamigo Sub-station in partnership with Makerere University @MakCAES, @ugwildlife & @kyagalanyicoffe this indigenous coffee could reshape the future of production. Why it matters 👇 ☑️ Highly tolerant to climate change ☑️ Fruits throughout the year (multiple harvests) ☑️ Strong economic potential for farmers 📊 Yield potential • 1 tree ≈ 5 kg/season • 2 seasons/year → 10 kg/tree • 225 trees/acre → ~2,250 kg/year

Macadamia: A High-Value Industrial Crop Let’s consider the conservative economics of macadamia production: 1 acre ≈ 100 trees 1 tree ≈ 150 kg per year 1 kg ≈ UGX 3,500 Estimated annual return: 100 trees × 150 kg × UGX 3,500 = UGX 52,500,000 per acre NARO visited @amafhfarms in Mityana, one of Uganda’s leading macadamia producers. The farm has developed over 10 value-added macadamia products, demonstrating the strong industrial and commercial potential of this crop.

Some “omuntu wa wansi” still wonder what NARO does. Today, through the Breeders’ Royalties Awards, we take the opportunity to showcase NARO’s tangible impact on the lives of Ugandans. NARO develops improved seed varieties and agricultural technologies, which are then licensed to seed multiplication companies and plant breeders. These partners multiply and distribute the seeds, ensuring farmers across the country can access high-quality, improved varieties. So, the next time you purchase improved seed, remember—it is the result of years of dedicated research and hard work by NARO scientists. Today @NARO_NaCRRI , we proudly recognise and reward our scientists for the royalties earned from their innovations—a testament to their dedication, ingenuity, and lasting contribution to transforming Uganda’s agriculture. @GovUganda @FrankTumwebazek @MAAIF_Uganda @URSBHQ

At NARO, we greatly appreciate the continued support from the World Bank . Today, the @WorldBankAfrica Regional Director visited our facilities and received a guided tour showcasing our ongoing research and innovations. In his remarks, he noted: “For the anti-tick vaccine, as an economist, I’ve paid close attention to the numbers—and they are impressive. Uganda loses about USD 1 billion annually due to tick-borne diseases. This facility has the capacity to produce 60 million doses per month, and each dose will cost farmers just USD 1. This is truly remarkable.”
