Busoga Diocese Bishop Paul Moses Naimanhye has flagged off 50 sugarcane trucks to Atiak Sugar Factory in northern Uganda, following farmers’ frustration over the falling prices of sugarcane and lack of market in the area.
Flagging off the consignment at Nakalama-Iganga Yard on Monday, Bishop Naimanhye likened sugarcane growers to the fishermen Jesus Christ found cursing over no catch and told them to cast their nets in the deeper waters from where they got a big catch.
