Attending the FINAS Conference at KICC and engaging with key stakeholders. The event was graced by CS Mutahi Kagwe as the chief guest. A major point of discussion was the urgent need for better coordination between public and private sector investments. Stakeholders strongly advocated for allocating at least 10% of the national budget to agriculture, in line with the CAADP commitments. Currently, the agriculture sector receives less than 3% of the national budget and under 5% of total lending from the financial sector—figures that are far from adequate given the sector’s critical role in food security and economic growth.

As I head out for a morning trot, I am reminded of when I used to go around the country fighting locusts. That was in 2020. I was obese and did not know it. Most of the hair was still intact. Time flies.

Africa's path to food security and prosperity hinges on a fundamental shift in agricultural input strategies, moving beyond mere quantity to a focus on context-aware, sustainable use. Delivering a keynote address at the inaugural CropLife Uganda Agrochemical and Fertiliser Symposium yesterday, I called on the agrochemical and fertiliser sector to become active partners in a ''uniquely African green revolution''.
