Making Uganda the grain basket of the region
The Grain Council of Uganda (TGCU) is a non-profit, membership organization founded and registered in 2012, comprising key stakeholders along the grains value chain. TGCU plays a crucial role in strengthening the country’s grain sector, collaborating and coordinating key players to address critical challenges and improve competitiveness.
Challenges afflicting the sector include but are not limited to:
- Low and inconsistent volumes of quality grain.
- Limited availability of quality inputs.
- Poor and inadequate grain storage and processing facilities.
- Poor Post-Harvest management
- Informal and unregulated grain trade.
- Non enforcement of grain quality standards.
- Lack of reliable data on grain production, consumption, and trade making it difficult to make informed decisions.
- Lack of affordable Finance (that matches the grain cycle).
Vision
A Uganda that feeds the region and is the preferred source of high quality grain in East & Central Africa.
Mission
Championing efforts to make Uganda the Grain basket and leading supplier for East & Central Africa’s grain needs through raising productivity, assuring food security and promoting regional trade.
