In a strategic move towards agricultural self-sufficiency and enhanced food security, the Prisons Farms Department embraced seed maize production in 2016 as a delegated mandate from H.E the President of Uganda.
This initiative not only tackles the challenge of adulterated seeds but also plays a vital role in fortifying the nation's overall food security by providing high quality certified maize seed to farmers at affordable prices.
In this financial year, 2022/2023 a total of 1,430.7MT of certified maize seed and 67.5 MT of foundation seed were produced.
