SEVAC Foundation Uganda Off season vegetable growing,

Vegetables production plays an important role in human diet. In Uganda the inclusion of
Vegetables in agriculture, is an important undertaking because unlike other agriculture commodities, it has been realized that it can be practiced profitably at both large and small scale.

Over and above its potential for being a profitable commodity, horticulture production plays an important role in socio-economic development as it alleviates the current unemployment status by creating jobs to the surrounding communities especially many youth who can hardly find a job after their graduation in Uganda. The critical changes in the global economy as well as the changes in Uganda as a whole has resulted in great number of currently unemployed youth .They are content with miserably low wages because of fear of losing their jobs. As a consequence, youth are becoming the poorest part of the population especially in developing countries like Uganda.
