President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni announced that the government will establish a dedicated special fund to enable tea farmers in Kanungu District to access affordable fertilisers, saying the intervention will boost productivity and strengthen the district’s tea-driven economy.

Addressing thousands of supporters during a campaign rally at Rwere Playground in Kanungu District on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, President Museveni, also the NRM Presidential flag bearer, said the high cost of fertilisers had become a major constraint for growers, especially those managing large estates.
