Pastor Robert Kayanja and his wife Jessica Kayanja were recognised Tuesday for their contribution to the agricultural sector in Uganda.

The duo received a certificate of recognition and an award during the seventh edition of the Best Farmers Competition organized by Vision Group in partnership with the Netherlands Embassy, DFCU Bank, KLM Airlines and Koudijs Nutrition BV.

The competition which begun in 2014, brought together a total of 13 exceptional farmers in the country who were honored during the virtual event held at the Vision Group head offices.

For Pastor Robert Kayanja, the dynamic change in seasons, prompted him to venture into a diverse variety of animals and crops on 1 square mile of land area in Kiryandongo, in the western region of Uganda.
