In a bid to add value to the country\u2019s vast agricultural production and increase farmers\u2019 incomes, the property tycoon is putting up one of the most advanced agro-processing plants in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Hamis, the plant, strategically located just 7 minutes from the Entebbe International Airport, cost over $156 Million to set up. It serves as a model factory for a project he plans to roll out across the country based on agricultural zoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAgriculture stands as a clear and direct gateway for Uganda from poverty to prosperity,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ham believes that if Uganda is to develop, it should be a collective effort from all Ugandans, and agriculture is the way forward. \u201cWith our good climate, fertile soils and young, energetic population, agriculture is a means for the youth not only to earn income but contribute to the tax base and increase the national income as well,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why, through leading by example, Ham has already started investing in 10 agro-processing plants around the county with a central region pilot project (Ham Agro Hub) situated on over 1,000 acres in sisa to employ as many Ugandan youths as he can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat should make a Ugandan proudly a Ugandan should be their contribution to the progress and prosperity of their motherland, Uganda,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ham believes that if Uganda is to achieve reasonable progress, it has to be a joint collective effort from within the hearts and minds of Ugandans, reflected by productive output on the ground. And he is willing to lead the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The young billionaire notes that \u201cWe should not leave Africa chasing our dreams abroad but rather transform Africa our motherland into our dreamland based on reason and reality.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At only 38 years, Kiggundu, commonly known as &lsquo;Ham&rsquo;, is a Ugandan businessman, investor, real estate and property developer, philanthropist, and author of two books; &lsquo;Success and Failure Based on Reason and Reality,&rsquo; published 2018, and his newly published book &lsquo;Reason as the World Masterpiece&lsquo;, 2021.
