Production and Marketing Department
Production sector is comprised of five sub-sectors of Agriculture, Veterinary Services, Fisheries, Entomology as well as Trade and Industry. The department ensures that appropriate institutional linkages are maintained with all relevant sector agencies; comprising mostly crop, livestock, fisheries, forestry and industrial research, marketing organisations, NGOs and CBOs engaged in agricultural activities.
Kiruhura District is re-known for livestock production particularly cattle grazing. The majority of the population are engaged in cattle production, goats and sheep rearing. Therefore access to veterinary services is paramount to enhancing livestock production within the district. This is so because of both culture and climatic reasons knowing that over 80% of the district lies within the Ankole-Masaka Dry corridor. The District also hosts 2 major government Ranches (Nshaara and Ruhengyere) and one National Game Park (Lake Mburo National Park).
However, the trend has now changed and crop growing has been embraced with major crops being bananas, coffee, maize and beans. Nearly every homestead now has a banana garden primarily for food security and some significant number is now growing bananas commercially.
