Uganda's plan to significantly expand coffee production may hinge on bees, according to The Observer. The Uganda National Apiculture Development Organization (TUNADO) is urging the government to formally recognise bees as an agricultural input, arguing that providing farmers with fertilisers and improved seedlings will have limited impact if crops are not adequately pollinated. The organisation says pollination support should feature in government agricultural planning alongside other farm inputs.

The initiative aims to support Tanzania's expanding livestock sector by ensuring farmers can obtain vaccines to protect their animals from disease.
