This Draft Uganda Standard provides for Quality control of products & processes along the entire EBA-Driven Agriculture & Clean Energy powered value addition chain. This guideline provides information on the classes of standards to enforce in a cascade towards incentivising the clean energy powered agro‑industrialisation. The requirements cover four levels of compliance that include use of nature based EBA approaches for on-farm production (which also covers for organic); use of clean energy for various levels of value addition at both on-farm (e.g. solar powered irrigation) & off-farm; use of Information & Communication Technology (ICT) to effect various linkages to markets & supply chains; services including finance, advisory & compliance.
