From grains to gains: Farmers in western Uganda master the art of value addition
Ugandan farmers now master the value addition process to shift from selling raw grains to creating value-added and nutritious products, fostering income security and improve nutrition in their communities.

This locally managed value addition activity is creating new opportunities for both income and nutrition.
