Abstract:

In Uganda the fruits and vegetable
sector provide promising areas for
increasing house hold income in
the rural areas. It also improves
nutrition of the people, diversifies
exports, and provides raw
materials for agro-based industries
thus creating employment
especially for the women and youth.
Unfortunately, the threat of various
pests and diseases especially the
fruit flies is one of the main reasons
why such opportunities are often
not realized.
