Koudijs Uganda at the Harvest Money Expo: Empowering Farmers for Success

The Harvest Money Expo is one of Uganda's premier agricultural events, bringing together stakeholders from the farming sector, including experts, suppliers, and farmers. This year’s expo was held at Namboole Stadium from 14th-16th February , attracting thousands of participants eager to learn and network. As a leading provider of high-quality animal nutrition solutions, we were proud to participate in this year’s edition alongside our parent company, De Heus Uganda, and sole distributor, Kaffika Animal Feeds.
