THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA NEBBI DISTRICT LOCAL GOVERNMENT PRODUCTION AND MARKETING STATISTICAL ABSTRACT FOR FY 2011/2012 By Production Directorate Nebbi District Local Government July, 2012 Foreword The need for agricultural statistics cannot be overstated. It is vital for evidence-based planning and tracking of progress in the sector. Nebbi district production directorate has over the years been engaged in the collection of data at different levels in all the subsectors. However, the data was scattered within the individual departments and local governments and also lacking in some details. Because of this, the directorate undertook an effort to update and consolidate all the existing data/information and publish an Abstract. The information in this Abstract is derived from surveys conducted by the District Production Directorate, District Planning Unit, Records from sub counties, Censuses from UBOS and Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries. The Abstract is divided into seven sections providing information/statistics on the following sectors; crops, livestock/veterinary services, fisheries, entomology (Apiculture), marketing and NAADS and General Information on Nebbi district. We sincerely hope that information in this Abstract will be useful to our stakeholders. Utmost care was taken to compile this information, however, comments from stakeholders on any gaps or vital information that is lacking will be welcomed.
