Animal feed production and distribution in Uganda

This project proposes establishing and scaling animal feed production in Uganda to meet rapidly growing demand and reduce reliance on imports. By producing locally blended, nutrient-balanced feed and distributing it through pay-as-you-go or harvest-linked financing, the initiative aims to improve livestock productivity, strengthen farmer incomes, and address widespread malnutrition. The opportunity is commercially viable, with expected returns of 10–15% and small ticket sizes under USD 500,000. It also supports national priorities on agro-industrialisation and food security. Social impact is significant: higher-quality feed boosts the availability of protein-rich foods, while women and children—who face the highest levels of undernutrition and anaemia—benefit directly from improved food quality and affordability. Environmental risks linked to increased livestock production require mitigation but remain manageable.
