Brewery firm promises to buy more maize from farmers
In a bid to increase the maize market in the country, Nile Breweries Limited - one of the top maize buyers - says they are committed to boosting the local economy by supporting farmers who grow and supply maize, which is a vital crop in Uganda. Nile Breweries Limited will use maize to brew beer brands like Chairman Extra Strong Beer, among others. Through partnerships with various farmers, the initiative is expected to create an impact on the livelihoods of smallholder farmers by providing them with a consistent and reliable demand for their produce.
