The Urgent Need For Uganda To Pass and Implement The Fertilizer Policy
On 13th of March, a number of stakeholders came
together for a validation workshop. The workshop was regulatory impact
assessment for the National Fertilizer policy for Uganda. As she opened the
workshop, Dr. Sarah Ssewanyana, the executive director of EPRC revealed that
there was need to increase fertilizer usage by small holder farmers in Uganda.
Her comments were further enhanced by a Ministry official
who said that “70% of the fertilizer imported into Uganda is used by large
scale farms especially tea and sugarcane plantations.” It was Drake Rukundo’s
presentation that called for an urgent need to pass and implement the
fertilizer policy.
In his submission, it was noted that out of the required
50kg/Ha/Annum, Uganda was adding only 1kg/Ha?Annum making the country one of
the least in fertilizer use in the whole world. Rwanda farmers use 29kg/Ha/annum,
Kenya 35kg/Ha/annum while South Africans were at 60kg/Ha/annum. To Rukundo, if
government does nothing, there was a risk of having an unregulated sector. This
would result in a high cost of fertilizer among other things. “Ugandan soils
are not as great as they were 30 years ago, however applying fertilizer alone
won’t cut it,” he emphasized.
Even though 51.2% of arable land in East Africa is in
Uganda, most of it remains unutilized. Adding salt to injury, the agricultural
sector which contributes 26% to the national cake continues to receive 2% as
its budget allocation. Rukundo thus wondered how government expected more from
the agricultural production sector when it was not investing.
When passed and implemented, the National Fertilizer Policy
will get Uganda at least 30kg of nutrients per hectare per annum by 2020. But
to do this, Rukundo noted there will also be need to have a fertilizer market
development unit in the Ministry of Agriculture. This would also roll out
punitive action for those who cheat the system.
It now remains to be seen whether the policy will finally be
adopted despite its evolution having started in 2010. With a phosphate industry
in motion in Tororo District, the need for the policy has never ached more than
ever before.
