With 80% of Uganda’s land is arable but only 20% of this land is being utilized, 78% of Uganda’s population are youth below the age of 35 with over 400,000 entering the labour market annually. 

 The Global Web Index as of Jan 2020 shows that 60% of Uganda’s population has access to mobile phones and 24% of the population has access to the internet and the trends are surging high each passing day because of the new normal brought about by COVID 19. Farm Kiosk is mostly targeting these young people with the evolving economic, environmental, technological and social conditions in Uganda, Africa and the world at large .

 Farm Kiosk is on course of implementing our 5 year Strategic Plan (SP) 2020/2025 which we revised in June 2020 to accommodate the shocks of COVID 19 and beyond, our SP highlights the strategic priorities to meet the new realities brought about by COVID 19 pandemic . 

However, our vision, mission and core values and philosophy remain the same all addressing the current conditions facing the agribusiness sector in Uganda, East Africa and Africa at large 

As such, the vision, mission and philosophy of Farm Kiosk is more critical than ever. Adapting to this volatile and uncertain global economy especially in the post COVID-19 requires flexibility, adaptability, resiliency, and innovation.
