Launch of New Field Trials at Uganda’s National Agricultural Research Organization (NARO)

Our collaborative research with the National Agricultural Research Organization (NARO) in Uganda has taken another important step forward. A new series of field trials has recently begun, as we continue working toward the wider adoption of Skeepon in the region.
NARO has been conducting trials with Skeepon since 2023, and this new phase focuses on crops such as coffee and maize.The coffee trials are carried out with support from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s “Future-Oriented Co-Creation Program for the Global South”. The maize trials are being carried out with support from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries under the “SBIR Phase 3: SME Innovation Promotion Program”.

The results from previous trials have all been highly promising, and we are excited to see what insights and outcomes emerge from this latest round of research.

We also recently received heartwarming photos from NARO showing children enjoying maize harvested during the previous trial. Their smiles remind us why this project matters and inspire us to continue supporting agricultural development in Uganda.

These moments reaffirm the value of our efforts, and we are delighted to share a glimpse of them here.
