MBADIFA Enterprises Limited is the business subsidiary of Mbarara District Farmers’ Association (MBADIFA). Following an extensive market study in 2010, surveying MBADIFA members and other key stakeholders with the aim of determining farmers’ needs, it was concluded many of the identified challenges facing the agricultural sector in Uganda could be solved through business solutions.

The results of the study revealed a great need to put in place efficient mechanisms to ensure quality agricultural products were supplied, as well as the provision of technical knowledge on the proper use of farm equipment being made available to farmers.
