Farmers in Moroto have continued to suffer from low harvests due prolonged droughts in the region despite efforts injected in planting, weeding and crop maintenance.

Jack Mafabi, a vegetable farmer and trader says he plants crops every rainy season, only to be dis appointed by the drought that comes just after the weeding process.

He says this trend calls for irrigation which is expensive to sustain, since water sources are far from the gardens, something that forces some farmers to abandon their gardens.  

On his side, John Baptist Lokii -Matheniko MP says Karamoja can no longer survive on rain fed agriculture since the seasons have been changing over time.

Lokii anticipates hunger outbreak in the district given poor harvests in the last 3 years, all due to climate change effects.
