New wheat varieties: Cut 90 million dollar import bill

The Government, through the National Agricultural Research Organisation, will release two wheat varieties by the end of 2024 that can be grown outside the traditional areas of Sebei and other highlands. In response to the global wheat supply chain disruption caused by geopolitical tensions, the government tasked researchers to find alternatives. This intervention is expected to reduce the annual wheat import bill, which currently stands at about 90 million dollars. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda
