Agro-industrial park
Food processing, packaging and storage, with a Centre for Agricultural Excellence, so farmers around Hoima can sell more than raw produce.
Part of the plan, waiting for partners and funding.
Artist's impressionThe Foundation's 2025 to 2030 development strategy puts an agro-industrial park at the heart of the town: modern facilities for food processing, packaging and storage.
Beside it, a Centre for Agricultural Excellence will carry out research, training and innovation in farming, and a vocational training centre will teach the skills the park and the wider town need.
The aim is value addition. When produce from the farms around Hoima can be processed and stored close to where it is grown, more of its value stays with the people who grow it.
