Gomba Next Generation Model Farm is a modern mixed farm located in Kigumba Village, Kigezi Parish in Gomba District, approximately 140 Km from Kampala Capital City. More than 500 Acres of Agricultural Land Starting with 200 acres of Land in 2003, along with 500 Ankole Long Horned Cattle, the farm had expanded to 500 acres with a major shift to exotic cattle and high mechanised farming by 2018. Gomba Next Generation Farm has embarked on an aggressive shift to modern machinery and equipment which includes installation of high grade maize milling machinery, modern cattle shades and feeding booths, mechanized silage and hay production as well as introduction of animal reproduction and breeding technologies. Maize Grain Production ;- including milling and supply at affordable prices to schools, resellers, exporters and stockists. The farm grows more than 600 Acres of High Grade Maize crops every year. Since 2003, we have been a trusted and reliable maize ingredient partner specializing in providing consistently good food and ingredients throughout the supply chain. Every day, we do what’s good. Good for consumers, for our farmers, for our manufacturers, resellers and distributors. Green Banana (Matooke) ;- Plantations specializing in growing and supply of organic bananas in large quantities for all season supply to schools, factories and food processing plants, restaurants, stockists and resellers. Hay and Silage Production ;- From cutting grass when it is young, to planting good quality maize seeds, we are able to produce silage that can supply all the energy and protein requirements of growing animals using the modern silage and hay production technology. Cattle Reproduction and Breeding ;- Local breeds from Uganda have low production and low growth rates. But with artificial insemination now in place, farmers will get better animals with better growth and high production rates. Our bull herd accommodates different breeds of bulls for dairy, dual purpose and beef purposes from which semen for artificial insemination is extracted and processed and stored. These bull breeds were imported from countries like South Africa and Kenya. The Model Farm Institute’s aim is to accelerate the development of modern agricultural businesses in rural communities and to promote young peoples’ long-term income-generation.
