The Government and the European Marketing research centre will host this year’s 2nd Agribusiness Forum in October.

The commissioner of agriculture and animal industry Samuel Ssemanda says the forum will run from the 4th to 6th October this year.

President Yoweri Museveni is expected to officially open the forum, which will be held at Speke Resort, Munyonyo.

Ssemanda says the agribusiness forum aims at increasing food production, processing, examining business opportunities and food security among others.

He notes that Uganda’s problem is not the quantity of food production but storage and processing methods.

He adds that during the forum, people will acquire skills of improving the quality of food production to match global standards.
