RAISING A NURSARY TREE BEED

Summary

Poverty is a key driver of environmental degradation in Uganda, as communities rely on charcoal burning, firewood, timber sales, and unsustainable farming for income. This project supports 800 farmers in Eastern Uganda to plant 50,000 fruit trees (including avocado, jackfruit, papaw, improved mangoes, oranges, and lemons) to conserve the environment, mitigate climate change, and improve household income and nutrition.

During the quarter, the project:

Registered 200 new farmers for jackfruit seedling not yet received seedlings due to dry spell since last year. We anticipate to distribute in march during the rainy season
Mobilized and sensitized 80 local farmers on he benefits of fruit tees
Monitored 35 farmers and provided advisory services
Raised 1,500 jackfruit seedlings in a nursery (pending distribution). We are in a dry spell
Lacks sastainable water source for nursary beds and materials for contraction of standards nasrsary beds

Challenges: Limited funding to meet the high demand for seedlings.

Recommendations and Way Forward:
The project has proven viable in improving environmental conservation, income generation, and nutrition. Fruit trees provide ongoing income through biannual harvests while contributing to climate change mitigation. Additional funding and partnerships are needed to expand seedling distribution and support jackfruit processing and marketing

JUCKFRUIT TREE SEEDLINGS READY FOR DISTRIBUTION

Summary

Poverty is the major driver of environmental degradation in Uganda. Local communities cut down trees for charcoal, fire wood, and timber for sale to secure household income. In addition engage in utilizing local farming methods to grow food which degrade environment. This project facilitates 800 local farmers in Eastern Uganda to grow 50,000 fruit trees (avocado, jack fruits, papaws, improved mangoes, oranges and lemons as a means of preserving and conserving environment, mitigating the impact of climate change, improving household incomes and nutrition, through fruit sales and consumption. Therefore, this is the August to October, 2025 quarterly project report submitted to stakeholders. The project raised a nursery bed of 1500 jack fruit trees seedlings and yet to be distributed to farmers. However, monitored the project and provide advisory services including registering 200 new farmers.

Achievements in the quarter

200 farmers registered to access jack fruit tree seedling for plantation in the quarter.
Monitored 40 farmers
The raised a nursery bed of 1500 jack fruit tree seedlings is yet to be distributed

Challenges:

• There is limited funding to accelerate the project despite the high demand for jack fruit tree seedlings.

Recommendations:

This project is therefore, viable in in improving environment, household incomes and nutrition. We therefore request all supporters to donate to this project so as to mitigate the impact of climate change in Eastern Uganda fruit tree growing. Fruit trees are more significant in mitigating the impact of climate change compared to other tree grown Eastern region of Uganda that are grown for timber and firewood. When cut, they don’t re-germinate. And when planted, the maturity period is the same. Fruit trees bear fruits that are harvested and sold bi-annually for consumption and to raise household incomes while firewood and timber trees are harvested once

We are soliciting for a partner to support jack fruit processing and marketing. The urrent product is worthy for processing and we lack support.
