ABOUT GENEX AFRICA CENTER

Farmer support services 

Genex Africa farm center believes that for farmers to grow farm productivity and improve income sustainably, they must have access to timely and accurate information to guide decision making. To this end, Genex Africa farm center has been deeply involved in mentoring farms across different social segments. Through her team of top-notch experts and extension workers, the company has conducted training on modern livestock enterprise management for profitability. Our spectrum of training includes cattle nutrition, health, and diseases management, managing reproduction, artificial insemination, record keeping and many more. In the last three years, tother with local and international partners, we have trained 15,000 dairy and beef farmers on profitable livestock enterprise management.

Additionally, the company has been involved in continuous professional development of extension workers in both public and private practice. During our engagement with farmers, we appreciated need for AI services hampered by availability of AITs. We continually train AIT to improve service delivery to farmers that are passionate about improving their herds.

This we do through organizing bottom-up trainings within Uganda’s cattle corridor. As a company we don’t operate in isolation, we have partnerships with government entities, farmers cooperatives, private like-minded organizations and local governments that support our mobilization and training strategies. In the past 4 years, together with local and international partners, we have trained 200 artificial insemination technicians.

We are aware that sustainable farm level productivity is cross generational and engendered. For this reason, we incorporate women and youth farmers in our training program. In addition, we conduct outreach to farms and offer on farm guidance to selected farmers all of which are aimed at facilitating improved individual cow productivity.

Commercial activities

Having appreciated the need for production animals that are greatly missing in Uganda, Genex Africa Farm centre embarked on an exciting journey of providing appropriate genetics through supply of semen and breeding accessories. This avenue has since grown accounting for a significant percentage of the company revenue. This was done after due consideration of the available breeds and their ability to facility growth of farm level productivity and income. This has positioned Genex Africa farm centre as the leading private local one stop centre for cattle reproduction solution in Uganda and we continue to grow. To improve our global outlook, we partner with global market leaders like URUS (Genex, Alta, Peak, Leachman, Genetics Australia), Viking genetics, Atlantis Life Science, and other organizations in our area of expertise to grow and improve our clients’ experience.
