"We expect to harvest over 500kgs this year compared to the previous seasons".
The senior agriculture officer Khainza Rose Okello affirmed that the assistance rendered is cutting across several groups in the five sub counties involved in the national oil seed project, saying this is the beginning of positive feedback from the farmers carrying out seed project activities.
