Buikwe District Farmers Association

Grown together, harvested stronger.

We organise smallholder farmers across Buikwe's sub-counties into one voice — for better inputs, fairer markets, and extension support that actually reaches the garden.

registered smallholder members across 9 sub-counties
Who we are

A farmer-led association, not a project office.

Buikwe District Farmers Association (BDFA) was formed by farmer groups from Najja, Ssi, Nyenga and neighbouring sub-counties to speak with one voice to district leadership, input suppliers, and buyers.

We are affiliated with the Uganda National Farmers Federation (UNFFE) and work alongside the District Production Office to route extension advice, certified seed, and market information directly to registered members.

What we do

Four ways we support member households.

Extension & training

Seasonal training on agronomy, soil health, and post-harvest handling delivered by district extension staff and lead farmers.

Input access

Bulk-negotiated seed, fertiliser and tools at fair prices, distributed through sub-county input centres.

Market linkage

Aggregated produce and direct connections to buyers and processors, cutting out unfavourable middle pricing.

Savings & credit

Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) linked to member groups for input financing and emergencies.
