Uganda's dairy sector is East Africa's second largest, with production concentrated in the 'cattle corridor' stretching from Mbarara in the southwest to Soroti in the northeast. Smallholder dairy farmers, who produce over 80% of Uganda's milk, are increasingly adopting improved forage varieties to boost yields from their typically 1-3 cow herds.

KN92 and CUF-101 perform well in Uganda's highland conditions around Mbarara, Kabale, and the slopes of Mt. Elgon. Seeds transit through Mombasa port under HS Code 120921 with full phytosanitary documentation.
