It's been a while, COVID-19 things sent us into serious farming that we even forgot🫢 to update our farming community friends and followers , but well we've been quiet and busy too. A Lot has happened and we've changed a lot of things replaced them with others but all for the good of organic farming or gardening. We are soon starting up a tree seedlings nursery in our newly constructed shade net. With fruit trees as our main target then other types will be introduced as well. It feels good to be back here and hopefully will share more things that have transpired in the period of our absentia. Happy Sunday be blessed 🙏🏾.

I got this type of Ocra drying out on the farm , but I'm kind of confused because I thought it was the sauce type but this is large not the lady finger type of Ocra 🤔. Can some one help me identify this type and what I can do with it or tell me it's health benefits or probably how to add value to it. Thanks in advance.

🚦EU THREATENS TO IMPOSE NEW BAN ON UGANDAN AGRO EXPORTS🚦

We do not cherish to be the carrier of bad news but when it is important, we have to do it for those that really want to act in compliance.
The European Union (EU) threatened to ban Uganda’s Agro Exports to Europe. This was revealed by the Minister of Agriculture, Animal industries and Fisheries (MAAIF) Vincent Bamulangaki Ssempijja way back last year in August 2019. The Minister’s worries comes from a yellow warning issued by the EU over severe chemical contamination of horticulture produce being exported by farmers in the country, the third time in four years.

In 2015, hot pepper export to Europe was suspended for more than a month due to poor storage issues, pesticide residues and packaging (among other factors).

Speaking at the annual National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) review meeting Mr. Ssempijja, said that several consignments of agriculture produce shipped to Europe have again been rejected and destroyed over poor quality and presence of high contents of poorly mixed agro chemicals used to grow, treat or preserve them.

He says the European Union has resolved to audit the sector as soon as possible for compliance to international and European Union Health standards before slapping a fresh ban in the event of non-compliance.

According to the Agriculture Minister, the EU has set up a telecommunication hotline for alerting government on contaminated food consignment to Europe for government to track down farmers producing those bad agro-products alongside the middlemen who supply them to European markets.

Dispatch.ug reports on several officials in the Agriculture ministry being worried about the looming ban on Uganda’s fresh food exports, which could hit the country’s horticulture sector real hard.

If the products fail the audit, Uganda could be slapped with a ban for non-compliance with EU Phytosanitary (plant health) standards. Uganda has on several occasions received warning over severe chemical contamination of horticulture exports over the last four years.

NB: Organic farming is the precise way to go. POFI is here to guide farmers about solving this problem.

It gives us the zeal to continue sensitizing farmers about organic farming and its benefits. We as well feel happy when we get feedback. Some of our followers find our posts defining a situation they have experienced in the past or experiencing in real time. After posting about growing organic Habanero chili reflected in the following link https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1347311125456936&id=967271936794192, we got contacted by one of our followers in Uganda explaining a sad situation he is facing as we post because of exactly what our post talked about as a challenge. We conceal his name for privacy purposes because we respect that. Quoting him directly will paint a real picture of what we explained and his feeling.

"I am among those who have been affected by the government regulation since last year.
I have been growing Habanero for 5 years.
This ban since last year September 2019 left me with 6 acres flooded with pepper....now the challenge here is no body is able to export Habanero untill further notice"

We have from time to time did our best to create awareness even before these developments take place. It is sad to say that more bans are in pipeline to export agricultural produce grown in many African countries to EU markets if the trend of production is not changed, If the mode of farming is not revisited and checked to favour safe, and healthy food production systems which does not negatively impact the environment when being used to grow food. As usual we can not distance ourselves from advising farmers to change to a a verified organic farming method or system. This does not only secure a stable income for farmers but also keep human lives healthy as well as protecting the environment by improving the soil texture.
Let our follower's confession and testimony be an eye opener to many farmers and take the responsibility to safe guard the sector that supports many to earn a living.
Go organic, Grow organic , east organic and save the environment.
