Government initiative provides fish fingerlings to Kayunga District farmers

In Kayunga District, at least 20 fish farmers received 10,000 fish fingerlings through a government-supported initiative. This program, implemented by the district fisheries department, aims to promote aquaculture and improve household incomes. The District Fisheries Officer stated that while the government provided the fish seed, the farmers are responsible for feeding and managing the fish until harvest.

The initiative is designed to encourage residents to adopt fish farming as a sustainable source of income and improve household food security. The program also intends to promote knowledge-sharing among farmers, allowing the benefits to extend to neighboring community members.
