Despite a slow start and limited farmer mobilisation and sensitisation events under the Cotton WRS Project pilot in Uganda, nearly 100,000kg of seed cotton was deposited by farmers from Kasese and Bushenyi in warehouses owned by Nyakatonzi Cooperative Union in February 2006. The Cooperative Union provided toll ginning services to the depositors. The farmer groups retained full control of their cotton and were able to sell the lint equivalent and cotton seed as separate commodities. The success is anticipated to be repeated in the 2006/07 marketing season as more farmers show appreciation for the WRS.
