In the tropical environment of East Africa, well-suited for diverse agriculture, the productivity, yields, and revenues of the sector face challenges due to chronic energy shortages. Modern farming methods become difficult for farmers to embrace without reliable energy during production and processing. Ntakye, recognizing this issue, initiated a pilot project introducing solar-powered cow milking equipment to farmers in south-western and central Uganda. During a 16-month timeframe, we collected crucial data that has inspired our strategic planning for upcoming innovations set to launch in mid-2024, including the solar-integrated knapsack sprayer and the solar-powered cow milking machine tailored for large-scale distribution. This initiative aims to empower farmers and overcome energy-related obstacles, promoting increased productivity in the region’s agriculture sector.
