Much has changed for Nassozi Berna, her husband, and their seven children since she began farming oil palm trees on Kalangala, an island in Uganda\u2019s Lake Victoria, 11 years ago. Before that, Berna and her husband were subsistence farmers growing cassava, banana, and some coffee and living in a small, timber-framed house.<\/h1>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/h1>\r\n

Like many other farmers on Kalangala, Berna started growing oil palm trees in 2012 while emphasizing sustainability<\/a> and avoiding the deforestation and other issues associated with oil palm farming in some parts of the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Oil palm trees bear the fruit that makes palm oil, a much more reliable and lucrative crop than the cash crops they were producing previously. \u201cWhen we were farming cassava, bananas, and coffee, we were affected by monkeys. They came and destroyed our crops,\u201d she says.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

She also explains that she had to leave home and go to the market to find a buyer for the crops that survived the monkey attacks and never knew in advance how much they would fetch. \u201cOur living conditions where bad,\u201d she remembers. She and her family lived in a makeshift timber house. \u201cIn the night when we were sleeping, winds would come and destroy our houses and our children fell sick almost every day.”<\/p>\r\n

Change<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

That began to change when Berna began working with the Kalangala Oil Palm Growers Trust (KOPGT) and the family planted their first oil palm trees in 2012. They expanded their crop in 2019 and again in 2022. In Kalangala, many of the people are oil palm farmers. \u201cWhen a day starts, some of my family members help me with the pruning,\u201d she says. \u201cThe others go to the plantation and do other activities.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

As part of its mission, KOPGT teaches farmers better agricultural practices. But perhaps most importantly, it has created a transparent payment system so farmers get paid faster and know if what they\u2019re getting paid is accurate, increasing the standard of living of the farmers and, subsequently, much of the island itself.<\/p>\r\n

As the number of farmers and transactions increased, KOPGT needed a digital solution to enable continued growth. Since 2009, 51风流has worked to create applications that help smallholder farmers in developing nations, primarily across Africa, enhance food production.<\/p>\r\n

David Balironda, KOPGT\u2019s general manager, explains that the trust\u2019s system is based on 51风流Rural Sourcing Management, which can digitally record information on producers, their farms, and communities at every level of the value chain. This helps provide visibility and allows parties to easily and quickly communicate with each other.<\/p>\r\n

Sustainability<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

Underscoring the importance of sustainability to KOPGT, the trust conducted an initial environmental impact assessment before launching the project and uses\u00a051风流Analytics Cloud<\/a>\u00a0to monitor the farmer plantings and ensure they are in compliance with the National Environment Management Authority guidelines.<\/p>\r\n

51风流cloud technology also enables KOPGT to ensure that the oil palm planting meets the most stringent sustainability guidelines set by Uganda\u2019s National Environmental Authority. \u201cWe are in the process of applying for that certification by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil to make sure that we work within those guidelines,\u201d says Fredrick Sulwe, KOPGT\u2019s finance and administration manager.<\/p>\r\n

As part of KOPGT\u2019s commitment to sustainability, the trust maintains a lake buffer zone between the planting and the lake itself and even rehabilitates those areas that have been damaged by other plantings. \u201cRestoration of those areas \u2013 the lake buffer zones \u2013 is key,\u201d says Sulwe.<\/p>\r\n

In addition to maintaining the buffer zones, the trust also follows recommendations for the stocking of trees and ensures that no chemicals or herbicides are used. \u201cAs we increase household income, we must keep an environment that is free of any distortion by the project,\u201d explains Sulwe.<\/p>\r\n

The KOPGT system allows the farmers to input information about their crops using the lead farmer\u2019s mobile phone and enables them to receive information and advice back from the trust. The system also includes a mapping feature that has helped farmers to know exactly how much land they are farming. \u201cThat means when I go to the bank to get a loan, I\u2019m sure of the size of my lot,\u201d explains Berna.<\/p>\r\n

In addition, she also knows exactly how much of the loan is outstanding and when it needs to be repaid. \u201cPreviously, we would almost spend a year without knowing the status of our loan,\u201d she says. \u201cNow we can learn the status of our loans monthly. This never existed before.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

Better Information<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

She also credits the system with making her a better and more informed oil palm farmer. \u201cAt the end of the month I get an SMS that shows how much I have harvested from my lot,\u201d she says. Before the system came online, she says the family was spending a lot of money on transport going to and from the KOPGT office.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cOil palm has not only impacted my life, but also the community,\u201d she says. \u201cThere are many farmers who are like me who have built houses and some have bought cars. They have used the money they got from oil palm to start new businesses on Kalangala and outside.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

Big Dreams<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

Berna says her hopes and dreams are enormous. \u201cI have started to achieve some of them,\u201d she says. \u201cNow, because I have a permanent house, I am able to sleep well, my children no longer get sick, and I\u2019m sure that the winds won\u2019t take my house.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cNow, we are able to take our children to school. We can live a decent life. We have some place to stay, and we get paid every month. We are sure that our life has greatly changed,\u201d she adds. And although she doesn\u2019t yet own a car, she hopes to learn to drive in the coming years.<\/p>\r\n

Meanwhile, she says she wants to thank everyone for their help. \u201cWhat gives me confidence is we have good officers at KOPGT that have tried to give us a good direction. We hope that when they continue doing what they are doing our lives will be impacted greatly.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

Berna\u2019s confidence and newly found optimism reflects the success of the vegetable oil program on Kalangala island. Because palm fruits can be harvested throughout the year \u2013 compared to one or two seasonal harvests \u2013 and have high yields, palm farming has become a viable alternative for the residents.<\/p>\r\n

Palm oil is already the most widely used vegetable oil on the planet, with about 71 million tons consumed in 2021. And there is not only a domestic need, but also a demand from the foreign market that Ugandan smallholder farmers like Berna\u2019s family and neighbors can help fill.<\/p>\r\n
