As the mango season enters its peak amidst a limited market, fruit farmers in Acholi sub-region can now have a sigh of relief after the government ventured into piloting a mango juice processing project.
Through a strategic partnership, Gulu University, backed by Operation Wealth Creation (OWC), and Makerere University s school of food technology, acquired a juice processing truck under the presidential initiative to process mango juice and save farmers from the annual revenue loss as mangoes rot away due to lack of market.
