Government has revealed plans to avail Farmer groups in Karamoja sub region with land titles.

The issuance of the land titles will majorly be to protect the land owned by farmers from intrusion and also minimize wrangles between the farmers and natives surrounding the farms.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industries and Fisheries says the World Bank has committed its self to title all the farmer group lands in Karamoja and the piloting process has already kicked off in Kaabong district.

The ministry adds that teams have been disbursed to collect data in the districts across Karamoja sub region to capture the number of farm groups that are in the region to ascertain details of the land which will then be captured and sent to the ministry of Land so as to process the land titles and hand them over to the groups.

John Lodungokol from the ministry of agriculture has called upon the farmer groups to cooperate with the teams on the ground so as to benefit from the initiative.
