PROJECT DEFINITION
The project; according to Mr. Kigoye Godfrey the senior consultant officer, he quoted that “there are many agricultural projects at KatendeHarambeRrural-Urban Training Centre” among which he described how to start a poultry and piggery firm business that will have to be successful in the business community.
3.2 JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT
There is an increasing demand for poultry meat, eggs and pork not only in Uganda butalso in the great Lakes region because of general improvement of standard of living ofthe people. Currently there is a lot of export of eggs from Uganda to Sudan, Rwanda andRepublic of Congo. Unfortunately official export figure could not be easily obtained.
Demand for pork in and around Kampala is quite high especially in the suburbs ofWandegeya, Nakulabye, Kabalagala, Muyenga, Kansanga, Ntinda, Namasuba etc.In addition many supermarkets are also selling much pork, eggs and poultry meat.Thirdly there are two pork/bacon processing factories near Kampala (Wambizi onKampala -Masaka Road and Seguku on Kampala-Entebbe Road).
Poultry and piggery are some of the most promising enterprises in the Ugandalivestock sector. This is because they require little space and relatively small initialcapital per unit head compared to other livestock enterprises.There is easy availability of day-old chicks, piglets and animal feeds as well as animaldrugs on the market. KWDG can get qualified veterinary personnel who are available down to sub-countylevel.
