Who we are

Rebuilding a historic cotton economy.

Kumi and the wider Teso region were once among Uganda's leading cotton producing areas. The association works to revive cotton growing alongside the district's staple millet, groundnut and rice farming.

We work with the District Production Office, ginneries and UNFFE to bring input access, agronomy training and market linkage to registered member groups.
