08 Sep 2011Ferdiana Nyangoma has been a resident of Kadindima village in Kasese district for the last 20 years.
During most of these years, she never had to buy food to feed her family. But that is exactly what she is doing today.
"We sold all our maize during the harvest, now we have nothing to eat", she says.
Nyangoma explains that with higher profits available to food crop traders, many have moved in to buy and stock as much produce as possible, enticing farmers with attractive prices. This development has coincided with an improvement in the road infrastructure.
