Agriculture

Having grown up in a predominantly farming community Katiiti, Mpigi District, Mawokota, Mwotta interfaced directly how his mother, as well as other farmers, were being exploited by middlemen who bought from them farm produce for cheap and sold to other buyers at exorbitant prices. This gradually affected the livelihoods of these farmers whose sole source of income was and still is agriculture. In the bid to address this challenge, Mwotta started up AgroDuuka, a robust agricultural produce supply chain management software, supported by the Global Position System for Mobile communication that directly connects smallholder rural farmers to buyers in the market at a low cost via SMS and the internet, before and after harvest. The AgroDuuka software has connected farmers across Uganda to potential buyers and has also been nominated in various awards like the Queen’s Young Leaders Award in 2018
