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 enterprises management farmers across key segments that the company feels are paramount in turning on the farmers’ imagination enhancing progress. In the last three years, together with local and international partners, we have trained 15,000 farmers on profitable cattle enterprise management. 

Additionally, the company has been involved in continuous professional development of extension workers in both public and private practice. We continually train private and public extension workers to establish a support system and improve service delivery to farmers that are passionate about improving enterprise productivity.  

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 farm productivity
