Millet farmers in Busia have been asked to embrace planting of improved seeds that are tolerant to climate change to boost their production.
Speaking after visiting millet farmers at Asing'e in Teso South Sub County on Friday, an official from Centre for Behavior Change and Communication, Emmanuel Eshitemi said they are determined to change millet farming by using improved seed variety to help farmers increase their production in Busia. "We are working with KALRO and KEPHIS to ensure that the seeds are of required quality and are available to the farmers.
We are educating our farmers on the importance of the improved seeds.
The seed takes 3 months and is ready for harvesting,' he said.
