Shares Consultancy Ltd


Shares Consultancy Ltd runs large scale Farmer Field School Programs for international NGOs and teaches and facilitates farmers to make better choices, produce a market driven commodity, develop a business attitude and further increase income by a ready market and market linkages.


The north of Uganda is still dominated by production using marginal cultivation techniques and traditional methods with zero nutrient inputs. Simple farm management and cultivation techniques can double the yield. We advocate the use of green manure, rotation crops and intercropping.

Shares (U) Ltd developed an infrastructure that buys directly from the certified organic farmers using a network of registered out-growers, qualified field officers and stores with well trained staff and strict controls. The farmers receive a variety of trainings and assistance to produce a sustainable market driven product.
                              

We also run a project based training program to stimulate Village Loan and Saving Associations (VSLA’s) that help farmers to boost productivity and become less dependent on the expensive Micro Finance Loans offered.
Over the last twenty years Shares has built up a good operational business that has positively changed the lives of thousands of Ugandans through knowledge transfer and education and the provision of a profitable and stable income.
