Fruit Growing
First and foremost is the fruit-growing business idea.
Fruits like mangoes, avocadoes, oranges, passion fruits and many more have a very high demand in Uganda and abroad.
Venturing into fruit growing can be one of the best businesses to start in the agricultural sector.
Nursey Bed Operator
Many people like farming but few people like propagating and growing plants in nursery beds to the desired size that one can transplant into a big garden.
By focusing on nursery beds, you can grow coffee, tea, and other different types of trees and plants and sell them later to farmers and other business sectors.
Poultry Farming
Third, in our list of agricultural-related business ideas, we have poultry farming.
No small business in Uganda is as profitable as the poultry farming business.
With little startup capital needed and high market demand for poultry farm products, starting a poultry farming business is a sure win for any entrepreneur who starts it.
Juice production
Uganda is blessed with so many fruits, you do not need to import many fruits from abroad in order to make quality juice.
So with the juice-making machinery in place, starting up a juice production business can be considered as one of the business ideas.
Your juice can be for mangoes, oranges, lemons or any other fruits and vegetables.
Though there is some competition in this sector, you can still make good money out of it if your juice has something unique about it to your competitors.
