Insights into finger millet production: constraints, opportunities and implications for improving the crop in Uganda

October-December 2023 - Vol 15 Num. 4

Finger millet [Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn.] is an important staple food crop cultivated by many smallholder farmers in drought prone areas of Africa for food, nutritional security and income generation. It serves as an important source of energy, proteins, minerals and calcium to many Ugandans. In addition, the sale of...
