The AICAD Training in Dissemination and Commercialization of Improved Soybean Varieties (MAKSOY 3N and 6N) aims to enhance adoption and utilization of high-yield soybean varieties among 50 farmers—especially women and youth—in Uganda’s Luwero District. Implemented under the KTDP program in September 2025, the project promotes agronomic training, post-harvest handling, and export readiness to boost farmer income, food security, and competitiveness. It targets challenges like low adoption, poor handling, and limited market access. Activities include demonstration plots, farmer field schools, and market linkages, with expected outcomes of increased adoption, improved grain quality, and enhanced agro-industrialization impact.
