It's harvest day on Edson Sabite's 4-acre cocoa plantation on the hilly slopes of Bimara village, in Bundibugyo town. His two brothers and two teenage sons are helping in the garden by cutting the cocoa pods, removing the beans and placing them in basins, which will later get dried in the sun and sold.
But now the Ugandan government is advancing a plan officials say will improve the farmers' situation. Light Kisembo, district production officer for Bundibugyo, in charge of production in the government's agricultural department at the district level, says the processing factory will"change farmers' lives," especially those that have been selling cocoa in raw form."This will solve the problem of middlemen," he says.
Biira says she would benefit from training on how to protect her crops against pests and adapt to the changing climate."I will be happy to sell direct to the company and get rid of the middleman if the price is better, as this will help me earn more from my cocoa," she adds.
